JH Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Huge pressure on him now to suddenly start tucking away the kind of chances he's been missing all season. Playing in the middle will get him more opportunities, but it won't magically turn around his form without major improvement from the player himself. I certainly think he can do it, but it might take some time. I just hope we don't waste too many opportunities to pick up points whilst this is ongoing. This, but basically we're fucked if he doesn't start putting them away sharpish IMO. Even though half joking, nearly everyone is expecting him to score tonight. If he doesn't, the pressure will build from the crowd - can he handle it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 You really know how to put a positive spin on things, Jack. That is the current situation though It's pointless looking to the future when it's massively uncertain for a number of reasons. His current situation is the same as any other starting striker in world football, though. If he doesn't score the team will fail. I'm pretty certain he's a good enough player to not find himself permanently stuck in horrendous form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty certain he's a good enough player to not find himself permanently stuck in horrendous form. The key difference is other teams have a few players who can score. We currently only have Cisse who can regularly score and after that it's Ben Arfa who is out for another month. xx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I don't think his chances:goals ratio has been that bad recently. There's only that turn and shot over the bar against Citeh i can recall recently where he probably should have done better. The goal at Manu was 'classic' Cisse. Sniffed the chance, retreated deep into the perfect position, no doubts about the finish. I also think he's been playing very well recently (Arsenal aside where he should not have stayed on the wing). Not worried at all, fancy sticking a few quid on a brace tonight actually.

Rich posted some statistics a few days ago. His chance conversion this season stands at about 16% if I remember correctly, compared to almost 60% last season. Here's hoping he refinds that form in front of goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think we will struggle to score if we persist with the system and style of play we have used in recent weeks. Problem for most of the season has been the style and system has been so rigid so very few got into goalscoring positions and now they are....
