true, but every striker in the league has to do that at times during a game

he just seems to be on his heels often in the area, or is making runs where it's almost impossible to play him in.

To me, he's not doing enough at the moment to get ahead of the defenders. But then, he's up against much better defenders than he has regularly been playing against in Portugal or Holland.
