I happily admit when I'm wrong. You should know that by now. I have no desire or need to go 'davek' on any given issue.

However, I very much doubt I am on this one.

Oh, and it's much more than "how well he traps a ball". It's his off the ball movement and ability to intelligently link with supporting players that's badly lacking, which is critical at elite level. Two games against what will be relegation candidates, where he's actually been poor, doesn't change that. Indeed, his performances thus far have just reinforced the obvious for me - let's see what happens as the season progresses.

Interesting. Crap movement and doesn't link with supporting players, yet scores 25 goals a season without penalties. It's especially interesting when you factor in that the forwards he was playing with last season (Deulofeu, Barkley, Mirallas, Bolasie) weren't/aren't very good and he has historically strong assist stats for a young, lone striker.

In the absence of excellent service, satisfactory movement and link-up with supporting players, how do you explain his being the scorer or assister of approaching half our goals every season?
 
If its 0-0 on Thursday away in Croatia, whos goal gets wiped off? Keanes or Gueyes?

Gana's mate, because if he doesn't score we still win 1-0 in the home leg, so his goal makes no difference.

Tell you what mate, I like this new system.

Wonder if some people realise though that goal difference can play a part come the end of the season.

Precision legdrop and excellent selling of the move by the downed opponent.
