I don't really recall too many. He seems to get about one chance a game.
Isolation is definitely a key point. For years we've seen our lone striker put 10x more emphasis on the word 'lone' than 'striker'. That was the case again today, but is that his fault? That's surely the system we play or perhaps -- probably, in fact -- the midfielders around him. The support today was slower to arrive than a Phil Neville floaty cross.

Aye, I have very little optimism for Wednesday.
15 + in the onion bag come May, no bother!

I still think he'll get 20, once we get playing to his strengths and he gets a few he'll be on fire!

Aye. That was truly baffling. I mean if you're going to put a CB at RB, why choose the only one who's had a consistent, good season? He's got a hard on for defensive rotation, which is confusing as all of our great defences under Moyes have been based around pairings of CBs who played week in, week out.
Don't get me started on the subs either -- or lack thereof. If you're going to insist on an aerial approach against a massive armada of grock tw*ts, don't go with a single, isolated striker surrounded by weak midgets. It's not like we had a 6'3 striker on the bench or anything.

RB on the bench in the shape of Hibbert (if he's unfit he shouldn't be taking space up on it); former RB with Atletico Madrid in the shape of Heitinga playing CB where he's been out of sorts.
An even more bad day at the office for Moyes than usual. I often think we win despite him rather than because of him.

Hopefully, but i'm not as confident about that as i was.
Hes capable mate but I think 15 is a reasonable return, you always have to figure in regression IMO with an Everton forward due to the system we play - we've seen it with every striker under Davey.
The interesting dynamic this year is coming from the hole, Naismith has been prolific given mins and Mofro goal return is stunning we've clocked almost 10 goals already from that position to put that in context I think STC best return for over a season was 12- we've almost got that from the position already - Mofros on for 15+, while I fancy a sneaky score on Naismith getting 10+. Either or both would be an amazing improvement and return.

Wise words there mate. Have to agree, in all fairness as well 15+ this season would be good for Jela. He needs a full season in the premier league to really get to grips with it and know how to handle not scoring in it, gives him vital experience really.
Look at Suarez at them lot, came in January and was outstanding for them. Last season he was still good, but not as good because it was his first full season. And look at him now, unfortunately, he's just unstoppable and will score 20+ without doubt.

It's not the corners we need to worry about. It's the freekicks free 40 yards away.
I think it's a combination of factors mate, he's played more or less non stop since he signed so I think fatigue is a factor, I think he's also playing a foil role more, with Mofro and Belg Kev in the team, while the variance we have in terms of our style of play and attacking options now means not everything is going through him now the way it did when he first signed!
Teams are also showing us huge respect, they are playing deep lines to try and absorb our attacking four meaning he's getting in behind with his movement less, alot of our goals are scored from deep or secondary play.
