I'd even say their finishing is on par, Bent misses sitters too. Bent just has that brilliant ability to get in that space more often so gets more chances to score. Owen was like this, he scored lots of goals but also missed a lot too.Most top forwards miss more because they are there more. Gabby is always behind the defender. He is a decent target man, but never a top 4-6 player. The MO of a centre forward is to score goals and that is what they are measured on.Gabby is more important to us than Bent ever will be.

can't watch this. might go for a walk
I think our players are mentally weak. They are all capable enough but crumble under the slightest pressure.
