There was a point about March when Dom was one of the most clinical forwards in the Prem when it came to big chances - he was at 55% give or take.
That dropped a fair bit because in those last 10 games he missed a fair few that would be classed as 'big' chances - that Sheff Utd one etc.
I like Ings, I just don't think that's where the money we have should go as a priority is all.
He was on fire the first four months of the season, like something clicked, I’d credit Carlo there and hopefully that sticks, it’s only really Carlo whose got a tune out of him. The second half of the season, coming up to Xmas he looked jaded and gasssed, he clearly needed a break, but we had no credible alternative, he had a period of injuries, loss of form, probably all down to being flogged. Which is why I think we need a credible alternative like zings, option and variance.
Personally I don’t like stats like big chances they are to subjective. My own opinion, I have no prob with the volume of goals he scores, he’s a 15-20 goal man in development, I don’t think he’s naturally clinical, I think he misses a few he shouldn’t, especially ball at feet in between a man bearing down on a keeper, like someone like Salah, Vardy or Kane. But he offers different attributes. Someone like Ings is far more clinical in those scenarios, they would compliment each other well with varying attributes.
Like I say it’s not about who is better, or you can have one or not the other, having both improves us, our choices and variance and I’d wager our goal output, DCL needs support for me!
