Steven Naismith though.

Probably his best quality, to be fair.

That said, I think he may be crowding out Lukaku upfront and that also places a question mark over how solid we're set up when attacks break down, given he usually gambles on getting in the box for a goal and leaves a big space for a counter.

He's a forward with no pace and with no real aptitude for the athletic and creative part of the game you'd expect from an advanced midfielder. I'd say he needs to continually get on the scoresheet to prove his worth.

You're wrong here Day Vek.

Who played the through ball for Lukaku's shot which was saved and fell for Naismith's sitter?

I rate Naismith's link up play, but to be fair, Lukaku fashioned that chance for himself with good footwork.

To be fair - who played him in?

I just hope it's not a purple patch and he's just finally getting in to his groove here.

If you want Naismith to score the goals why spend £28 mil on lukaku mate? Serious question? If you want both firing fine but let Naismith do it off the bench/rotating with Rom.

I want them both to score goals and as Roms fitness improves he'll start to score more. He's been a doubt for every game do far. Barkley is a good player and hopefully he's going to be a great one but he isn't exactly an assist a minute either is he?!

Naismith is definitely worth his place at the moment, it's weird that people are blaming him for Lukaku only scoring 1 so far. Between them they have 4 in 4 that is the stat that matters!

Wouldn't surprise me if Man City offered us Toure, Kompany, Dzeko, Aguero and an Oasis concert.


I'd still turn it down.

@davek

I'm keeping score Dave

I am a little off the pace (haha) have we lost a game Naismith has scored in?

Scored against Chelsea, didn't he?

 

[AussieToffee]

He's our next Cahill type cult hero.

We used to joke about it but we're no longer laughing!

It's happened.

I'm expecting 15 - 20 goals from him this season.

In his first season we didn't win a league game he scored in

He gets better in that position every game he plays.
