Main men strikers dont score 3 times in 25 games.

When the dust settles on this season his form will be top of the pile in explaining why we didn't get top 5. Obviously he wants to do well and score, but it just hasn't happened. The first thing we need to do in analysing why it didn't happen for him is to stop making excuses for him. The Fellaini 'crowding out' theory (I'll hold my hands up to supporting a while back) just wont do it as an explanation. This feller has looked like he doesn't know what a ball looks like all season. It comes to him and he looks like an ale house player. It's embarrassing. He is so out of his depth (yeah, his good 'movement' yada yada yada) it's not even funny.

IMO, if Moyes is staying we'd be mad not to sell him on this summer if a reasonable offer came in (from abroad probably).

For me he's still our main striker though. Victors done really well. He's improved ten fold. But he's not a natural goalscorer and the last 2 away performances have proved if we're looking to be in and around the top 4 Anichebe isn't good enough.

Jelavic, although hasn't scored leads the line well and for me has the upper hand on Anichebe. His movement IS better. It's his finishing this season that has been way way off. I still maintain we should bring him back in.
 
We're not a club who can afford to wait around to see if a player hits form.

He's been bang average all season and it's time to let him go.
 
This whole "give him a summer without an International competition and he'll start firing again" is a load of rubbish too.

He's been sitting on his arse for the past two months and he still doesn't look like he's gonna score, amazing that this constant push for Europe is trying to be achieved with absolutely nothing up front, a good centre forward is f*cking Everton cryptonite these days.
 
He is a "fox in the box" type player. He doesn't offer much else outside the box. If he's not slotting he's really not much use.
I don't believe last season's goals were a fluke or just a good bit of form, he was scoring really good goals, in the right place at the right time!

He's well out of form and confidence...
 
It's all my fault, i got his name on the back of my shirt. Sorry guys.

You my friend should be ashamed of yourself.

Personally I think the lack of Oxygen that got to his brain when he was stuck in that box for the Christmas advert is what did the damage.
