The strikers thread

[carheex]

Does anyone know where to find the statistic for percentage of chances converted.

I read a story a few years back that Owen converted about 50% of his chances

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We missed some clear cut chances tonight, thank God it didn't cost us.

Kuyt isn't a good enough finisher but his overall game makes him a very good striker.

I think he will improve immensly next season. This year if he gets around 15-18 goals then its a successful 1st season.
Disagree about his finishing. His strike against Chavski was cool, calm & collective. His double v Reading were sublime. His instinctive header v the arse in the 1-3 loss was good as well.
In my opinion he has it all & with a better strike partner he will improve more.

Kuyt cant finish.

Bottom line is Kuyt misses far to many chances for more liking. his finishing is no better than Crouch.

Kuyt cant finish.

Crouch is by far the most wasteful finisher. He had the best chance at the end in the game and there's no way from that distance he should have missed the target.

PS Respect to Pennant - I thought he did very well when he came on. Possibly caught out of position for their goal but did a good job of running at their players and gave the defence a bit of respite

Cant agree with that. Kuyt doesnt miss the chances Crouch does. Crouch's poor finishing has cost us at least 4 points this season

I know it's been said a million times in recent days but where would we be with a goalscorer, and I'm talking league here.

Barca said today the Eto'o is staying putt so thats 1 down.

dunno about that Marcus mate
Kuyt is playin' in a new league that is much higher in standards than the Dutch league. He's got 10 goals so far which is not bad. I really believe that he will improve & score more goals next season.

[Parm]

We have not had the money in the past to buy top class attackers.

Now we do so next season if we dominate a game and have a gazzilion attempts on goal, we will score at least two.

I hope.

so do i

[blacky]

I think Kuyts had a terrific first season so far. 10 goals and as many assists and his workrate is phenomenal. He will only improve. However he looks tired at the mo and could do with a rest!!

[Laddsy]

Come again.

No ****ing way. It always hurts the second time
