Yeah he's most definitely been made a scapegoat this season because he hasn't clocked up the goals that he's been accustomed to since he came to the EPL - the media forgetting that he's had no service or expected to chase aimlessly for a ball hoofed up to him.
What's worse is that they start using his performances in the WC as a reason to why he's poor and off-form. He was an apparent terrible purchase made by Rafa in the form of Morientes to the media when he came to Liverpool (wasn't a prolific striker and if Sir Alex turned his nose up at Nando, then he mustn't have been great). And the way things are going, he'll be in the eyes of the media (and the fools that take their word so seriously) a terrible want-away if things don't get sorted soon.
