3 Years ago was without doubt the best Striker in World Football, now, I think Naismith offers more.
Maybe, he just never was that good after all? Plenty of strikers have had wonderful starts to their careers and you cant deny he was superb in his first season at Liverpool. But you could argue that he has NEVER done it at the top level in league football.
Not having a dig at the kopites ( well I am) but Chelsea are the only title contenders he has ever played for.
at Athletico Madrid 21 goals in 40 appearances was his best ever season. Not bad, but compare it to the top strikers in that league ( messi & ronaldo) who most season have a goal a game ratio he is way off their level.
Kopites love to forget he was gash in his last season for them scoring 9 goals in 26 starts in his last season.
Even his Spanish career has been littered with great spells and then baron spells and sulks.
Nah he was sensational. Had everything, pace, power, lethal finishing, looked constantly dangerous.
And then for some reason he turned into a sulking wreck of a player in his last season at Liverpool and got worse following his move.
It looks to me that he fell out of love with the game gradually after leaving Atletico and it's became a job to him.
