You’d think so. Not all on our terrible strikers though. Our mids very rarely make runs forward into the box. Makes most our crosses virtually pointless.

Very true.

Very good player. He’s still adapting to the league though so we’re not seeing his best this season.

Been one of our best players in the last month.

A bit harsh that but I can see where you are coming from. I really hope Bernard makes the grade and does well for us. I hope Bolassie does to if and when we get him back.

Very good footballer, he’s one of a few we have that has the class to help us bridge the gap to top 6.

Id add Pickford, Mina, Digne, Gomes, Gana, Gylfi and Richarlison to that too.

We’ve got some very good players, it’s just the dross around them like Walcott and whoever plays up front that lets us down.

Careful mate.

I like the boy Ijjy, I gotta say. Think he’s hit a bit of a rough patch but then I’m happy to write it off as young goalkeeper growing pains.

He has been very sharp recently. Hopefully that continues.

He's a great little player and it's no surprise to see him have rough patches of form. He's still adapting to the physicality and intensity of the league, and it was clear we'd probably see the best of him - or better from him, at least - in the second half of the season. Let's hope that's the case.

Yesterday he showed real composure with the finish. Shame he didn't show the same at Old Trafford or Stamford Bridge!

Think about this everyday.

Look at DCL. He moves away from the ball ffs

It has also been the case for about 8 years as well now, under four managers (and Unsworth).

That is all on DCL, though. He literally stood still a yard from it.

Lukaku would be on abar 20 goals now, I'm convinced.

So far only 3 of them have been consistently good enough

Who are the 3? I'd argue that only Digne has with actual performances.

Richarlison and Sigurdsson have with overall contribution but Sigurdsson in particular has been very poor in a lot of recent games.

Only David Silva has created more chances per 90 mins this season
If Bambi and co can’t finish them that’s not his fault

I’m struggling to think of many sitters he’s setup that haven’t been finished. Can you remind me?

He wouldn't of been on anything like that, we've been awful this season, he only plays when everyone else is good to carry and set him up, as we have seen at United.
