Strikers...

[tommyg]

Torres has only scored three. Omg what a waste of 20 million quid. We need another striker now, i think we should get in for andy johnson in january.

All fecking scoring. It's incredible.

Torres - 3
Voronin - 3
Kuyt - 2
Crouch - 1

They all seem to grab the chance when they play, and net.

And Voronin has exceeded my expectations by miles.

Rafa's ideology about each striker getting 15 goals...i didnt think it was possible due to a lack of sufficient match time. But maybe it is?

Fecking great to see & reminds me of the scum when they had Yorke, Cole, Sheringham and OGS. They all seemed to score when they got a game too. Only difference is, our quartet is better

Anytime you wanna post what point it is you're trying to make tomas, feel free

Hear hear.

Just need Kuyt to get off the mark in the league now - sharpish, otherwise he'll have to make way. I think he's been playing well enough generally to justify his place in the side, but he needs to start scoring. 3 starts and one sub appearance in the league so far.

Obviously Crouch needs to get off the mark in the league too but for that to happen he needs to play. He's had seven minutes of action in the league this season.

I believe they can all get around 15 each, and I think Torres will get 20+ in all comps.

Biggest difference this year for me in the performances on the pitch is the workrate. All the players are now willing to work harder due to the quality on the bench and in the rest of the squad, just to try and keep their place.
Even when we are coasting, the lads just seem to outwork their opponents.

You are smart fella, I am sure you can make it out.

You dont really have a point though mate, as the two issues are separate.

I really do believe that the amount of goals our 'wingers' Babel, Pennant and Yossi (and Kewell? Ha!) can contribute this season could be the difference between winning and losing the title.

no offence but I can only see babel out of that lot scoring goals

It's a fair shout.

I doubt Dirk will ever score more than 15 goals (in all comps) in a season for us.

If Kuyt is his regular strike partner that does put pressure on Torres, but it's pressure El Nino. looks like he can handle

Dirk definitely needs to sharpen up in front of goal. However, by my reckoning, from 4 starts this season he has 2 goals and 3 assists, if he keeps that ratio up, with someone like Torres around to regularly find the back of the net, I'd be happy enough with him come the end of the season.
