This may have gone under the radar because I haven't seen many people talk about it but has anyone noticed we are seriously bad at the act of putting the ball in the back of the opponent's net this season? No? Just me then.
Let's not get into reminiscing about the Lukaku glory days or talk about what could have been if Giroud's wife didn't ruin our transfer window.
Instead, let's discuss who and how we can play to start doing these 'goal' things.
Do we keep 1 up front or start with 2? Do we play with a quick support forward with a slower/stronger one? Do we start with 1 and end with 2 or vice versa? Can we even risk playing with 2 up front with our defence?
Personally, I think Rooney is the best striker of the ball out of the lot of them but that's really all he has going for him. He ends up far too deep a lot of the time. At times he's alongside Jags at the halfway line.
DCL has been getting the nod a lot and although he does try, he doesn't quite have the ability to make something happen often enough. He did score against Chelsea and Sunderland in the League Cup but not in the Prem this season. He does however have 3 assists in the Prem.
Mirallas has a good mix of pace and ability and could be played more central, supporting a striker. Same with Vlasic and Lookman. Though they all would be better suited to staying in their natural wider positions. Just a thought, like.
Niasse is another who does put in effort with a decent shot but is limited ability-wise. He's also not the quickest.
Sandro Ramirez has really struggled but I think there's a quality player in there whose confidence is at rock bottom. He is young (22) and I would like to see him come good for us.
