Darwin Núñez

[John Barnes]

He's unpredictable and starting to deliver goals and or assists, and while hes doing that he's great

[Irishnev]

We are more effective with him in the team - he misses some chances but he is contributing and we are winning games

[Paul12]

Alot will be made of this and statistically it's correct, but the first 2 were from shots on target that were pushed onto the bar/post by the keeper.....

...amd the other two were sitters.

We expect too much from him. We are expecting him to score every game, if he only comes close he is a failure. Personally I think he is great and integral to the way this team plays now. As long as he is creating chaos for defenders, creating space for others, setting up goals and chipping in with a few goals along the way, he can hit the post as much as he likes.

...amd the other two were sitters.

That’s why I didn’t qualify those ones.

He hit the post twice (the pen and the header). The other two were pushed onto the post by the keeper making a save, so not quite the same thing.

Exactly, that’s what I was saying

The one that was supposedly tipped on to the top of the bar and won us a corner (1st one) wasn’t actually touched by the keeper imo, if I was it was so light as to make no difference to the trajectory.

anyway, here they all are.

Yeah seeing it again, not sure now if the first one was diverted by the keeper.

You can't say he hides from the match!

[BigChief]

I was cursing him at half time for that penalty miss. But boy am I glad he's back for Arsenal. Need his work rate and pace. Goals would be a bonus.

Those are some amazing stats - 9 shots in total. When was the last time any single player had 9 shots in a game?

Apparently his xG alone Chelsea was 1.61 (including the penalty of course)

[Venton]

He's definitely playing better, all round pressing is excellent. More of his shots are on target as well. My main criticism at the moment is that he can be a bit heads down and just leather it straight at the keeper. Direction of travel is good though. First two strikers on the list for me are Salah and Jota, followed by rotation of the rest.

I think he’s gotten a lot better at this (well, not doing this) this season. Last season he used constantly smash it straight at the keeper, this season he seems to side foot it every now and then- like his goals against Bournemouth for example.

I think the penalty was very frustrating- we were already 2-0 up and in complete control of the game, not like it was a pressure boiler moment, so any professional footballer should be able to hit that on target. In general I think he’s been unlucky this season that he hasn’t scored double what he has. I reckon he gets a hat trick in some game before the end of the season, where things just click.
