Ronnie had it at times too in the past but at the same time he worked very very hard for his success, especially for his first World Title. He always have had this natural skills which makes it easier for him but he worked as hard as anyone , he just wanted to be a perfectionist and realized that he is only human who can have up and downs.
But Trump, you know I think he is just a typical adolescent of nowadays, posting these party fotos and pictures on Facebook, twittering silly stuff. And these things just influences your attitude regarding Snooker too. Same thing probably applies to Lisowski too.
You're absolutely right, Trump needs to sort out that attitude he has because he really should be challeging for Major tournaments recently and maybe win some of them like Selby, Robbo and Ding have. I notice that when he loses he never ever says it was his opponent who played well, he always says it was a bad run of the ball and unlucky at times
In Trump's case, he's probably one of the luckiest players around for that matter because he does get a lot of fluked balls given the way he powers them in and often gets lucky nudges that othewise could compromise his break.
What he doesn't seem to understand is that it's not how much luck you get in a match, but what you make from that luck. Ronnie for instance if he has a fluke or good run of the ball he always makes the most of that, same for other top players too. Trump though from a lucky part in a match atm doesn't seem to make the most of that, and that's his own fault.
Don't get me wrong, the kid has got loads of talent, but he should really be making the most of it. Maybe this recent phase is just a period and he'll soon rediscover his form that led him to win the UK, China Open, IC and reach the Worlds Final.
