we were also playing at much high level than anywhere he went before or after

well, except for Betis - where he also had a terrible scoring record. The tactics at the time obviously did him no favours, but ultimately he wasn't good enough for that level.

After all, Glenn Murray has scored 8 already this season with more or less the same tactics.
