At Monaco he peaked, he was arguably the most expensive player in the club which didnt have so many star players. He and Guily along with Rotthen were the heart of the team. Its easy to play well when you have 2 or 3 players who are known as the best in the team.
At Liverpool he isnt the star of the team, people will talk about Gerrard, Carra, Alonso, Hamman, Hyypia, Sisoko, Garcia and then about Fernando.
He doesnt have the pace for the English game, he doesnt have the muscle for the English defenders ... he doesnt have confidence at the moment - none at all. Once he scores a few he will be in good sync -- but im far from convinced that he will score 15+ goals.
You see this is why I always like reading your posts Chelsea forever, you are usually fair and make good points.
mmmmm, Morientes just seems to be suffering from depression or something similar, he looks so uncomfortable, he misses headers he would usually score with his eyes closed, clearly something is BADLY wrong with him, and the matter is not helped when he gets such poor service.
His mental state is affecting his game so badly, it's extremely sad to see such a great footballer become what he is at this moment in time.
Thing is, it's not just Morientes that's not playing well, I think most of the team is not playing all that hot right now and most of the focus is on el Moro because he is being picked as the main striker and not scoring.
When Morientes is ok, he plays best in a team that is compact and plays one touch football, with good crossers.
I diasgree with you regarding Morientes physical power, he is in fact a VERY strong and muscular player....having said that perhaps you are right when it comes to the speed of the premiership not suiting el Moro.
Deep down somwhere he's still gotta be that awesome player, that just doesn't disappear 12 months.
Even if Morientes was fully fit mentally, I am certain that he would encounter the same problems as Crespo in Chelsea.

Apparently Nando can get used to coffee machines in garages that charge a quid a cup??
After that he'll be fine and score loads o goals for us for sure as Raffa wud say!!
No Viva Coffee machines, Je n sais Pa !!
No milk and sugar
?Non Comprehende ffs!! I want vodka said Sylvian Distin as he signed for a great team!!
Raffa said no! u will drink portugese wine at the bridge,believe me it tastes sooooo much better and this taste u willl become in ur mind!!
And that taste will bring us great things said Raffa! Some looked in awe as a great man spoke and wondered what exactly he meant?
And they were told! Cause Carra stood up and shouted at the top of his voice what exactly it means to play for the Pool and when he spoke they listened !
He told them about the Shankly days,when players played for the badge and had little pay!! He showed them all his arm,an Everton badge and spoke of how sore it was and how easy it was to get removed and they listened harder!!
Because now they felt like the Everton badge on carras arm?
And it can be removed,this our great manager has shown by keping every single member of our great squad on his/her toes(For Harry)
Hence they try harder and we progress!! And will continue to do so until Raffa says oherwise!
God save our king!!
