Burnley are 11 points ahead of us, if we had a proper PL CF we could easily have 10 more points on the board and fighting for that place. Burnley (h and a), Swansea (h), Everton (h), Leicester (h), Brighton (h and a), Bournemouth (h and a) - all games where a better CF in the team would have seen us have a higher points total.

We had 17 shots in the Brighton away game, compared to their 7. We had plenty of chances to get something. Swansea we should have won, we missed plenty of decent chances. Burnley I’ll concede, but you could just replace that for Southampton away where we could have won if we had took one of our decent chances. Even 8-9 points more would have us fighting for 7th place - that’s turning 3 draws into wins and Everton or Leicester (h) around. Easily doable if we had a PL striker on our books.

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 It's not just the quality striker that's been missing, most of who Rafa has tried behind the striker haven't been good enough either and before Kenedy arrived all winger options were average at best imo. In fairness Ritchie has stepped up since then but before that he and the others weren't good enough, it meant that those behind them kept the team afloat while the front 4 repeatedly under performed. I'm sure most teams in the bottom half probably think if they added 4 players they'd be looking at Europe too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC Newcastle, who had won their past three league matches, had chances, but Mikel Merino's volley was pushed wide by Mat Ryan, Joselu twice missed when well placed, and substitute Jonjo Shelvey hit a post direct from a corner. Chronicle The Magpies stumbled down the Premier League table and ended their winning run but it could have been different had they taken their chances. Would look for more, but cant be arsed Anyway, I think we agree in the main. With a few points difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Yeah and you're deluded if you think one player makes that much difference and also ignoring the fact the entire front 4 has been shit most of the season not just the striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cisse (one player) pretty much single handedly kept us up with his goals once. Replace him with Gayle/Joselu and we’d have gone down that season. Remy the season before that too. Of course one quality player (particularly an attacking player) can be the difference of 8-10 points over the course of a season man, get away. Wonder if Everton would have 8-10 more points if they still had Lukaku. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
