He scored 1 goal after the palace one which was mid-Jan, in the penultimate league game at Villa. Most of that was due to his injury setting up the winner in the 3-2 at Norwich, and taking a few games to get back into it after he returned.
There was no running from deep at Chelsea, JM always swapped his 4 3 3 wingers, both of them every game after expecting them to run themselves into the ground. He was tagged teamed with Robben a lot, and still ended up getting in the 2010 world cup squad and playing. As he lost his pace throughout his later 20s his stock declined.
