yeah moldova is not a good example. but still cenk also scored against rivals like monaco, porto or benfice at CL.
I had written here before Cenk's transfer. Cenk is a big team player. Big teams play offensive and attack football.
So my approach to the situation is "Cenk can score against ANY TEAM if his team make numerous attacks (20? 30?)"
but he is unlucky... He had chance with Fat Sam but team didnt attack. Later team attacked a bit more with Silva but Cenk could not get enough chance.
Do you remember any specific game that you can say Cenk really played so bad? Then it is unfair to say Cenk is not sufficent for PL...
He played 90 minutes against both Wolves and Watford recently, games we really need to win. He didn't score in either and wasn't particularly great.
Look, Silva doesn't play like Fat Sam. He prefers DCL to Cenk because he's much more athletic, provides a better outlet in the air, and is much more effective pressuring the defense. No one is saying Cenk is bad or anything.
He started the first 5 league games and didn't score. And he had a ton of chances. He struggled to hold the ball up as a single striker.
Then he scored against Fulham off the bench and got the start in the league cup against Southampton. He didn't score. We lost to lowly Southampton at home in the league cup.
So it's a performance thing as well as a tactical thing.
