I still don' think that's his issue.
Today the main issue for me looks like he has zero understanding or any good relationship with his teammates. They don't seem to be linking with him at all or wanting to pass to him. I'm starting a bit to believe those reports that came several months ago that's he's alone and isolated from the rest of the team.
I see the same thing but worse than not wanting to pass to him I think they are slightly afraid to pass to him. That's what happens when players lose confidence in a teammate's ability. They hesitate to give him the ball because they worry he will lose it or play them a hospital ball back. It happened a lot to Rooney towards the end as well. If our players believed Alexis would make a game changing contribution when he got the ball they'd play it to him, after all they all want to win for their own personal glory. The sad thing is they clearly don't believe he can be the difference maker he was bought to be, which is troubling.
