No it doesnt. You're just making that up lol. Nobody on this forum is saying he's a good player. But people are quite rightly pointing out his goals to game time ratio. You've just posted about oh he gets stoppage time to score aswell. Yeah thats right. He gets thrown on usually with 10/15 minutes left and look at some of his goals.
Newcastle. Came on 85th minute. Scored 96th
Bournemouth. Came on 79th minute. Scored 87th
Fulham. Came on 81st minute. Scored 94th
The evidence is right there poking you in the eye.
He's a crap footballer but id put hard earned money on him scoring more than 5 in a full season if he started every week.

I agree with your general point about him being a more natural goalscorer than DCL, but some players just do suit being a sub and it's possible he falls into that category in this league at least. Maybe being thrown on for 15 minutes and just told to try and get on the end of something allows him to look better than starting and being told to run the channels, hold the ball up etc. Not everybody with a good record as a sub translates it to scoring more when they start.

The guy is not a target man, he doesn't suit the role and can't do the things Dom can, he needs balls played in behind so he can run off the shoulder, he has pace and isn't a bad finisher but play him back to goal and he looks worse than he is.

Is he the answer, definitely not but give the boy a chance and play to his strengths at least.

It's not that easy though is it? Changing the entire style of play in order to get more out of him is clearly harder than asking him to adapt to the style of play.

I dont think he would no. He's a terrible player.
But the original point i replied to was he doesnt score 5 goals over a season if he started every week.
Give me that bet all day long as its getting my money.
