What's the Yak up to nowadays? Or can we get Naismith back just for his supersub appearance for the 1 game?
Not loaning out one of the only other strikers we have to Sunderland would have probably been a good start

Doesn't sound good at all does it and if he is hampered throughout the season again by injury we are in big trouble.

It helps having nearly every midfielder they've got getting more goals each than our strikers can manage.
I am probably the founding member of the Lampard fan club, but I don't think he has much chance with the lack of support coming from those above him at the club.
Dennis and Toney are also not rubbish compared to our current options. They are enormous upgrades, not that we could even afford or attract Toney right now anyway. I don't think people have quite grasped how bad a situation we are in. We have literally no goals anywhere in the side, and people seem deluded into thinking everything is fine.
I don't think he will ever be good enough, so I don't have a problem. I have never been impressed with Simms.

Goes in with one broken leg, comes out with 2.
I think the point is that once Richarlison was sold, it should have been a high priority to replace the lost goals in some manner at least, whether it be in the form of a scoring winger or a striker that could play across the line, and we've failed to do so. Yes, funds were/are very limited and I do give the team credit for trying to fill some other gaps in Tark, Gueye and such, but bottom line is we knew we needed goals. Also, we knew Dom had a significant injury last season and even after recovery had various niggles that kept him out, so it was not unforeseeable that further injury may occur. Very little contingency planning is the issue. A false 9 at least would be more appealing, if necessary to play that formation in DCL's absence, if we had been able to sign a 10+ goal scoring winger to date. Hoping DCL is not injured badly and we can get a few more goals into the side.

Nobody is buying him right now. And do you trust this club to replace him? They didn't replace Richarlison.

Relying on one player staying fit and that player was injured for large portions of last season. It was predictable

I honestly think the team might benefit having Deli Ali playing as our No 9 in the absence of DCL. But we do need a proper striker going forward. DCL hasn’t been 100% prior to this set back. I honestly think Dele could be more effective than Naysmith. I’ve got a weird feeling this problem might work in our favour in terms of team balance as a whole. Everyone’s free to shoot me down but I think we have an opportunity to try something different that maybe we wouldn’t have only for DCLs injury.

Could be back to the days of Fellaini and Cahill, Dele although different style could be similar to Fellaini. Unfortunately, we don't have a Cahill, maybe McNeill can step up into that role?

I think Alli will be fine but you need different types of forwards and Rondon isn't even capable of starting. It's a disaster but this club is one we are beeing run into the ground by people who think one striker is enough in this league.
