Sure, it will help but if the others aren't scoring enough, then we won't get anywhere, certainly not in the league. Literally everyone bar Abraham last season underperformed their xG last season. Never mind the other teams, whenever we were successful in the past, it was because we had a number of players (at least 3-4) contributing a good number of goals. If we want to do something useful next season, we're gonna need those players to at least match their xG or outperform it. Well, if the Arsenal friendly game was any indicator, we are well on course to repeat. The number of glaring misses from great positions was all too familiar from last season. We could've drawn the game too, because of our wastefulness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikkiCFC 8,369 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Another good way to score more goals and most logical is to play players who are more likely to score. Werner/Mount last season played over 8000mins combined and scored 17 non penalty goals. Havertz/Ziyech for example less than 4500mins and scored 15 goals. Difference in minutes played is around 3600mins which is exactly 40 games. So if these players continue their ineffectiveness in front of the goal and TT keeps playing them over others he is basically saying: I don't want to score more goals.

I would rather not sign a new forward than have Lukaku. Lukaku would want to start every game. He's not going to be a squad option. And I can't see how he would fit in this team for every game. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,985 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 It would be completely nuts if we’re willing to go over 100m for Lukaku but not for Haaland unless the latter has made it clear he doesn’t fancy a move now and wants to assess his many options next summer.

milka 3,395 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Bidding £130m for Lukaku(28y) when you can get Haaland(21y) for £150m is a massive nonsense . Blue Armour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 James Rodriguez is available.... 😄 Does not do shit most of the time, and then once in a (very long) while produces a moment of magic. I honestly thought Everton was his level... guess not even that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I could maybe have been strong armed into seeing the positive side of this if he didn't have an ego the size of Russia. I fear at one point it will become painfully clear we are a better team with Havertz at false 9 and we will either keep playing Rom despite the detriment to the team or drop him which will be a nightmare for dressing room morale given his track record of wanting the silver spoon, not sure which would be worse. bigbluewillie and Blue Armour 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
