Peter Fraser believes Fernando Torres' fall from grace can be attributed to a knee operation the Chelsea striker underwent in 2010.
It is one of the greatest mysteries of football - whatever happened to Fernando Torres?
The Spaniard, a combination of pace and power, was one of the most feared strikers in the world during his pomp with Liverpool between 2007 and 2010 - custom made for the Premier League.
But now, at Chelsea, he is being deemed as simply "not good enough".
Those were the words of Sky Sports' Gary Neville, directed at all of Chelsea's strikers after last Monday's forgettable 0-0 draw at Arsenal ensured none of them have scored an away goal in the Premier League in 2013.
It is a remarkable statistic but one which epitomises Torres' loss of form over the past three-to-four years. It is a fall from grace which, ahead of Sunday's latest reunion with Liverpool, means he has yet to score against his former club in six previous attempts having not been involved in the 2012 FA Cup final.
Torres took the Premier League by storm when arriving at Liverpool from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2007 in a £26.5million deal as a 24-year-old. He went on to score 24 goals from 33 top-flight appearances in a spectacular debut 2007-08 campaign.
He had also become the first Liverpool player to score more than 20 league goals in a season since Robbie Fowler in 1995-96, and the season ended with him scoring the winner for Spain in the final of Euro 2008.
He hit 33 goals in all club competitions for the Reds to surpass the record set by Manchester United's Ruud van Nistelrooy and become the most prolific foreign debutant in English football.
It was form which led Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard to say in the December of 2007: "Fernando is getting a lot of praise at the moment and rightly so, because the way he has settled into English football has been amazing and the way he has played is frightening. It can be difficult for players from abroad to settle into English football but, at the moment, Fernando looks like he has been playing here for years."
Tellingly, though, that number of 33 appearances would be the highest total Torres would play in a single Premier League season for Liverpool. He had suffered from a groin problem in the October of 2007-08 and then a hamstring injury in the February but that was just a sign of things to come.
Hamstring injuries plagued Torres in the 2008-09 campaign. He experienced one in each month of August, October and November.
Torres said of those injuries in his 2009 book, 'El Nino, My Story': "It was a real hammer blow. The first time it happens you think it is normal and you keep going. The second time, you stop, you take more care and you start to ask yourself why it happened. The third time, you stop properly, you start to investigate the underlying causes and work as hard as you can to make sure it never happens again.
"That was even more important in my case, because it was my hamstring that was causing me problems - the muscle I live by, the one that gives you acceleration and speed."
Torres has always relied upon his ability to turn on the afterburners - knocking the ball past a defender followed by a burst of speed - above the accuracy of his shooting in order to create his goalscoring opportunities.
This is emphasised by his shooting statistics. The best of his first four seasons in England came in 2009-10 when he got 50.79 per cent of all his efforts on target. but that is still poor in comparison with the current likes of Romelu Lukaku, Sergio Aguero and the new darling of The Kop, Luis Suarez, who all boast shooting accuracy levels of more than 60%.
Torres' developing hamstring injuries were something of a surprise given he had suffered just one muscle injury in his previous six years at Atletico.
It created an argument that perhaps the changes in Torres' physique - the slight shifts in the ever-so-finely balanced physiology and metabolism of professional sportsmen combined with playing in the increased physical nature of the Premier League - meant his body was creaking as he grew into his mid-20s because of the very attributes which made him such a dangerous player. It was an eerily familiar story to former Liverpool striker Michael Owen.
Despite Torres' injury problems, Liverpool still enjoyed their best campaign in Premier League history in 2008-09, finishing second and just four points behind champions Manchester United.
But conflicting with many people's memories of that campaign, which included the Gerrard-Torres attacking partnership, this was achieved with their star striker experiencing his worst campaign of the three full seasons he spent at Anfield.
Torres scored a very respectable 14 Premier League goals from 24 appearances but his shooting accuracy was down at 43.06% and his shots-to-goals conversion rate (excluding blocked shots) was less than 20%.
In 2009-10, Torres suffered an abdominal strain which saw him miss more than a month between the November and December but, positively, he had seemingly overcome his hamstring problems.
This, though, seemed to be at a cost. He was to endure a recurring cartilage problem in his right knee which required two operations - firstly in the January and then again in the April.
Did the knee injury come as a result of trying to protect his hamstrings? The April operation ended Torres' season.
However, Torres was statistically still at his most lethal in front of goal for Liverpool in 2009-10. In just 22 Premier League appearances, he scored 18 goals.
He averaged a goal every 95.28 minutes, had a shooting accuracy of more than 50% and recorded his best shots-to-goals conversion rate of 28.57%.
But, and it is a big but, that excellent form came almost completely before the first knee operation in the January. After returning from that surgery, he scored just six Premier League goals in the remainder of 2009-10.
Torres also struggled after the second knee operation in the April. He recovered in time to go to the World Cup that summer but, surrounded by rumours of concern he had rushed back in order to be a part of Spain's squad for a World Cup in which they were strong favourites to win, he failed to score in seven appearances at the tournament.
To make matters worse, he suffered another groin injury in the final victory over Holland which required three weeks of rehabilitation.
Amid Torres' knee operations, Liverpool had also been having a bad time. They finished seventh in the league and made an early exit from the Champions League, resulting in the departure of manager Rafa Benitez at the end of the campaign.
This was all engulfed by the off-field ill-feeling from fans towards the club's American owners, Tom Hicks and George Gillett, and a status in multi-million pounds' worth of debt. It led to snowballing speculation of Torres' discontent.
Having recovered from his World Cup final injury, Torres was fit for the start of the 2010-11 Premier League season, coming on as a 74th-minute substitute in the opener against Arsenal. He would go on to make 23 league appearances for Liverpool, of which 22 were starts.
However, he scored only nine times and looked a different player to before his knee injuries while also appearing too frustrated by Liverpool's on and off-field struggles.
It would prove to be his final campaign at Anfield. Fenway Sports Group completed their takeover of Liverpool in the October of 2010 and, although doomed Roy Hodgson would be replaced by Kenny Dalglish in the January of 2011,Torres still ultimately requested a transfer and made his record-breaking £50million move to Chelsea that same January.
Torres' forcing of the transfer caused outrage among millions of Liverpool fans who were appalled by a player who had always spoken of his commitment to the club and appreciation of their values.
With all that in mind, many of the Reds faithful felt betrayed when Torres left and directed the sort of fury in his direction which would damage the self-belief of any hardened soul, let alone one who was widely assumed to not have the greatest self-confidence.
Could this have also affected his form? Torres was, and is, a player who needs to be at peak mental fitness to be at his best. It is considered he needs to be loved.
Aged 27 when he joined Chelsea, Torres has infamously continued to struggle. He scored just once - against West Ham United in April - in the second half of that 2010-11 season.
Perhaps that level of scrutiny he found himself under as the Premier League's most expensive transfer combined with the fury from Liverpool fans had led to the yips?
Torres ended 2010-11 with his overall statistics, including both his time at Liverpool and Chelsea, at their lowest since he arrived in England. He made more Premier League appearances (37) than in any of the previous three seasons but he scored just 10 times, averaged a goal only every 265.8 minutes and his shots-to-goal conversion rate was at just 13.33%.
That dip in form has, of course, proven to be far from a blip, as a player who will turn 30 years old at the end of January 2014 has scored just 17 goals in 64 Premier League appearances for Chelsea. Last season, he scored 23 goals for Chelsea, but only eight of those came in the Premier League.
Interestingly, Torres' muscular injuries, although not completely a thing of the past, have become less frequent at Chelsea.
This could be due to a training programme which, to the eye at least, appears to have increased his muscle bulk. But this could also be due to him intentionally becoming less dynamic in his style of play, adopting a more static approach, in order to protect his muscles.
It could also be argued he has simply become less mobile since those knee operations in 2010, which in turn has led to the decrease in his goalscoring threat.
Torres has had his moments at Chelsea. In fact, that is somewhat of an understatement considering he has been a part of squads who have won the Champions League, FA Cup and Europa League.
At the same time, he and his team-mates have also had the challenge of having to adapt to the changing tactics of five different managers, including interim boss Benitez.
In the current season, there have been flashes of Jose Mourinho rediscovering the player of old, against Schalke in the Champions League and Manchester City in the Premier League in October.
And Torres did finish with the Golden Boot as top scorer at Euro 2012, again netting in the final as Spain defended their continental title with a 4-0 hammering of Italy.
But they have been anomalies and he is unquestionably not the same threat as the player who arrived in England in 2007.
All of Torres' injuries, particularly those in his hamstrings, have taken their toll, ebbing away at his natural attributes and self-confidence. But the manner in which he enjoyed his best season, statistically, in 2009-10 having overcome his hamstring-plagued 2008-09 suggests his muscular injuries have not been the main root of his downfall.
The argument that his loss of confidence after leaving Liverpool also has merit but his collapse in the first half of the 2010-11 season, before he left Anfield, would also suggest that is only a minor variable.
The true point at which Torres' goalscoring brilliance was shattered appears to clearly trace back to the double knee operation of 2010.
Knees are the second heart of any footballer - once they are gone, it is the beginning of the end. Torres had scored a phenomenal 50 Premier League goals in 72 games up to the first knee operation in January 2010 but since then, he has scored a pitiful 32 Premier League goals in 125 appearances.
Sadly for Torres, and for all those who watched in wonder at his once world class goalscoring vitality, force of nature and brilliance, the overall statistics tell the entire story.
As he approaches the wrong side of 30, there will be no way back to the golden days of his former self.

Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Liverpool will be without five players for their last game of 2013, against Chelsea on Sunday.
The Reds go into the game in West London sitting in fourth place in the league after Boxing Day’s results, and their 2-1 defeat at Manchester City, knocked them off top spot.
Liverpool will be without captain Steven Gerrard—who is continuing his recovery from a hamstring injury picked up in the 4-1 win over West Ham at Anfield earlier this month.
Daniel Sturridge also misses the trip as he continues to recover from strained ligaments in his ankle. The England international is expected to be out until the end of January.
Jose Enrique is still undergoing rehabilitation from arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, that has kept him out of action since November. The left-back is expected to return to action in February.
As reported on Boxing Day, Jon Flanagan misses several weeks of games for Liverpool after straining his hamstring recently. The 20-year-old, who had started Liverpool’s last six games prior to Thursday’s trip to Man City, aggravated the injury during last Saturday’s win against Cardiff City.
Victor Moses misses the game at Stamford Bridge as he is currently on-loan from the Blues.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference to the media at Melwood, Rodgers is quoted on the club’s official website as saying, “None of them will be available for the weekend.
“Steven is progressing very well, so he will step up his work next week.
“We won’t have Victor Moses in the squad, of course, because he’s a Chelsea player. It will be the same squad.”
Liverpool could go back top of the Premier League with a win against Chelsea, depending on other results this weekend. League leaders Arsenal are away at Newcastle, whilst second place Man City face Crystal Palace at home.
Chelsea vs Liverpool gets underway at 4pm on Sunday, 29th December 2013. It’s live on Sky Sports 1.

Brendan Rodgers faces a slap around the wrists and a heavy fine after his criticisms of referee Lee Mason, who officiated Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester City on Thursday.
Mason missed a number of penalty decisions for both sides in the exciting encounter, and also, with the help of his linesman, wrongly adjudged Raheem Sterling offside when the youngster was put through for a clear first half goalscoring opportunity.
But Rodgers was aggrieved at the appointment of Mason for the game, who hails from Bolton, Greater Manchester.
He is quoted on ITV Sport as saying:
I was surprised we are playing in Manchester and have a referee from Greater Manchester. I am sure we won’t get (for) Liverpool-Man City someone from the Wirral.
I thought they were horrendous in terms of performance.
Hopefully we don’t have another Greater Manchester referee again on a Liverpool-Manchester game.
The officials make mistakes, I just felt the mistakes made shouldn’t have happened at this level. This is a big game”.
Recently, Hull City boss Steve Bruce was fined £10,000 by the FA for his post-match criticism of referee Michael Oliver following a defeat against Tottenham.
