Same old problem

[Yellowhammer 92]

We can see it but it seems we are the only ones,need for a quality striker has been there for the past few seasons still have not got anyone who can score on a regular basis .

Or when teams come to defend, we need to work the ball to shooting positions outside the box, rather than trying to walk it into the net.

Yes we have. Oliveira is as good as you will get at this level.

I''m not sure what you''ve been drinking Yellowhammer, but I''d give it a miss in future tbh.Oliveira already has 4 in 7, which would leave him on 26 goals by season end if that rate continues.Last season it was 15 in 32, which would have put him over 20 goals if he''d played the full season.Then you''ve got Jerome, with his average of a goal every 2.3 - 2.5 games, which means for the past two seasons he''s hit 16 and 18 (in 40 and 41 games respectively).So, in fact we''ve got TWO strikers who can, and have scored on a regular basis, and that''s still not enough for you?Maybe you think we should have been challenging Man City to sign Sanchez or something....???

Yeah we''re fine up front. Nelson at his current rate should hit 20+ goals.

The issue is that nobody else is really scoring.

Clearly we just don''t move the ball quick enough against teams who come to defend. Can''t remember much pass and move going on last night; but plenty of passing the ball in non-threatening areas.

Whether this was tactical or not, I don''t know, but I think Farke was a little fearful of making changes last night. If Jerome had been on earlier I think we could have stretched their defence much more; their number 4 didn''t look like he had much pace, but was able to cope with Oliveira without many problems.

What the actual Farke are you on about!!? How ''regularly'' do you think our strikers should be scoring?
