Millions of words have been spilled trying to answer those questions. It's not an injury (at least not something like Kaka's situation), which is good. You'd think confidence could be regained, but his "form" (whatever that means) has been off the whole season. I wasn't watching last season, but from how the announcers laughed when he scored at the Euros, I take it the scene was ugly last year also (just checked - 6 goals in EPL matches). It's definitely a confidence thing, and I'd say he's one of the most miserable figures in the EPL. I stream a lot of games as a neutral, and he's someone I watch and feel sad for... I was SHOCKED to learn that he was once someone who scored a lot. The strange thing is that he's not uninvolved in the games or really awful (side-eyeing Modric here), he just never manages to finish -- the striking instinct/skill disappeared (well, he's up to 7 goals in the EPL, so at least it's one more than last year).
In other news, OH GOD Ronaldo is going to have a meltdown because a Mallorca player for Israel just scored and now it's 1-1... Time for the popcorn. O_o
