Do we need to spread the goals around more?

[blue61]

Rooney and the Ox will both creep into double figures. Added to Roms 35 goals should see us ok.

 

[Kenshin]

Oh for sure, I don't think we're bad this year at all (although I think both Ross and Mirallas have more goals in them), but replacing Kone and Valencia with more quality in the summer would be great.

They are a goal hole so to speak, poor analogy to be honest. Two back up strikers at the club who are going to struggle between them to score 5 in total this season. If one of them added 10 and the other 5 at least then that is 15 potential points winning goals we have as options. I will welcome when neither of them are considered options any more and Lewin and a new signing will be our back up next season.

...I know.

Again Dave, you're criticising yourself not me. You said ''Where would we be without this fella?''

You posed the question not me.

 

[nsno-chris]

There's an Echo piece quoted favourably on here a few days ago that suggests that we dont need Lukaku and his goals. That we'd be in the CL spots if we didn't have him.

I know.

C'mon David, the argument was simply stating that the majority of top teams rely heavily on their goal scorers, and we are no different.

You were trying to indirectly have a pop at the Ronk with those under the table tactics.

Tut tut tut

 

[nsno-chris]

Shame on me for biting.

He caught me in his web and I'm too weak to refuse the bait

Damn you @davek

 

[JonS]

Ross needs to start hitting the back of the net regularly to fulfil his "new gazza" potential

Fair enough if you're backtracking from your position in backing that idiot Echo piece up.

 

[Caolam]

Yes

look out for flanking movements, folks. dave'll have this sewn up in [fill in blank] moves from here...

The only place you'll be able to get the Echo is St. Helena by the time he's done.

Consider that idiotic piece to be someone using your logic but about every club. If every fans forum has one of you, then I'm sure their is a UTD fan asking where they'd be without Ibrahimovic an Arsenal fan asking the same thing about Sanchez. We may have eve got to the point where Hull fans are asking that about Niasse.

we do need to spread goals around, one less against likes of bournmouth, city & west brom and save them for the trip to the pit next month

I did not bother to read that. Thankfully.

Unreal mate.

My underlying concern - given what RL has apparently stated in the last 24 hours - is what the message was behind it.

The Echo are in the club's pocket.

Back to what Brucie was saying though, it'd never hurt for other players to score goals in addition to him.

Said all this myself last week. When I said it though it was "wtf are you attacking Koeman for?!?!"
