Of course bad form makes him useless. What good is a player who has bad form. It's not like his form before xmas was incredible. He scored 9 goals in 26 league games last season, two of them were penalties. He struggles against good teams, if you look at who he actually scored against, barring Monaco and Leverkusen (his last goal for Liverpool this season), the best team he scored against was Man City. The more I look at his performances from last season, the more of a case I find against him.

Sell him while people still are under the Houllier inspired illusion that he's any good, and get our transfer money back. He cost £3.6 million, I'd be happy if he went for that or more.
