Form is temporary... class is permanent.
Strange, he has always stroke me as a sort of striker who does really well offensively and is relatively balanced definitely. I'd easily say that there are players as good or even better than him defensively who play exact the same position, but I wouldn't expect any of them to be as good at going forward. That's his best strength.
