So a striker can’t play well unless he scores? What a strange way to view football.
Struggling to communicate or understand (champagne may be to blame), but if a taxi driver doesn't take you from A to B, if a brain surgeon doesn't fix your head, if the cleaner doesn't clean anything, then they haven't done their job. Can allow for intermittent off days, but if they regularly don't do their job, then get someone else who will. Simples!

That would only translate if a strikers sole job was to score goals and didn’t include the many other facets of helping to win a match.

Of course! Just had a road to Damascus revalation that you were right all the time! Obviously, the plumber should fix the electrics and ignore water and other liquids, the electrician should take over reception, and the caretaker should do the MD's job. How could I possibly have been so blind????

Off to watch Uncle Buck now, so won't be in a position to be overwhelmed by further devastating insights.

Think you need to chill on the alcohol.
 

Its hilarious seeing people go on like he's Lukaku MRK II based on a few games.

Soon as he has a stinker game the usual flip flappers will be out in force slating him again.

He just doesnt impress me - runs around alot and occasionally slots - lads another Shane Long.
Funny init, they just wanna act like super bloos and tell everyone on the internet they always backed him
Happy New Year you miserable meffs.
 
I see that you liked this post @Glasshalffull. I am agreeing with @Nymzee here though. Just cause he scored goals doesn't mean he helped us win. He was shockingly bad sometimes and would poach a meaningless goal after a terrible performance that did nothing to help us win.
Yes. Er, no.

Trying to watch Uncle Buck as I type, so apologies for any typos. I fully appreciate that there are various aspects to a front man's job, rather than just scoring now and again and imitating a statue the rest of the time. I also accept that if the striker does the statue thing, then regularly scores our goal in a 1-3 defeat, he isn't helping us win.

None of this is rocket science, nor does it excuse a striker from not scoring. A taxi driver has to maintain good customer relations, liaise effectively with control, and not mow down pedestrians. No matter how good he/she is at this, failure to regularly get people from A to B is undeniably failure.

Arguments that DCL's service has been terrible hitherto are debatable, but very thin in my opinion. Nor do I remember Lukaku being as idle and useless outside the area as many claim, but that's another debate.

That's it. Uncle Buck and bed. Happy New Year.!
