He's been the same for ages.
When Luque scored his goal against Lillestrom, Lowes was saying he should have passed to Milner.
The next week, when he was dropped, he couldn't say enough how great it was and how Shola would make us so much stronger. I'm deliberately ignoring the fact Shola scored 2 goals and won us the tie, but him and his co-commentator (on that day, Alan Oliver) were creaming themselves at Luque sitting in the stand and looking far from pleased to be playing no part ("attitude awful", etc etc).
And now this.
