How long can this be said? A popular theory is that his knees have given up on him, starting to believe that more.
He's been bad for 1½ year now right? Half a year in Liverpool and one year in Chelsea?
edit
Wrong of me, 9 goals in 22 for Liverpool that fall. Not as good as his 18 in 20 season before though.
Well to put it in simpler terms:
He's not in the international team.
