It's what he does.
There will come a day when kids will argue who was better: Jon Walters or Lionel Messi?
Sure, Messi has the most natural talent but could he do it without the Barca players around him? Could he impact a worse team like Jon Walters does?
One of these superstars does it on a cold midweek night in Stoke very regularly. The other hasn't even bothered trying to prove himself on that stage yet - five Ballon d'Or awards nothing.
Walters put Watford to the sword on Saturday with a goal and a glorious assist. His one-touch, curling, volleyed dink over the top for Joselu was simply sublime as he punished Heurelho Gomes for a poor kick-out.
One instinctive, controlled pass and Joselu was on his way.
One improvised, measured piece of genius and the inevitable comparisons with Lionel Messi began
It seems that neither Messi or
Ronaldo Walters can do anything without the world comparing them to one another.
If Messi had done it...

Messi didn't do it. It was Super Jon Walters.

We already knew he could bang them in for fun like.

His work rate never gets overlooked.

Jon Walters: The most underrated man in football.
So does Eamon Dunphy, except he cries about it.

So much so that his bio is homage to Walters.
People even want him to sort Robert Huth out for whinging.
Here's Huth's tweet. About a different game.

Still, Super Jon will toughen him up.

Imagine Jon Walters was your cousin...
