Having A Midfield That Doesn't Score Goals

[supertom]

I'd like to see Delph spanking a few more shots from long distance. It's in his locker. With the 3 man system he became a bit more adventurous in the last few weeks too. A bit of composure and he could get a few goals. I think it's almost a case that he just needs one to go in and his confidence nearer goal will improve. He's scored a couple of good goals for us in previous years (in cups I think, Brighton I recall being decent) and he scored some decent goals for Leeds. It's in his locker.
I think we'll sign another midfielder to compete with the first choice 3. You'd think someone with a few goals in there locker would be useful.

Tonev can provide a few. Belhanda or Popov should too if they joined. Maybe Yac Sylla might. He could be useful making late runs in the box ala Ian Taylor. He's a big lad so might get his nut on a few, especially if defenders are pre-occupied with CB.

If Delph continues where he left off, he'll get the odd goal here and there. Westwood plays deep so won't score many and I've not seen anything from Sylla yet to think he can score a few. That's not to say that won't change though.

I think Sylla really grew in confidence in the last few weeks. His passing and composure got better and better. He looked the mutts nuts in a couple of games. Maybe we'll see a goal or two. I'd doubt it because I think more of the defensive work would be his main forte.

Westy can stick to making goals. 6 assists last season from a pretty deep position is good. I'd expect him to get at least 10 assists next season.

we need a new David Platt    If only.   Mind ,he was from Crewe .  Murphy ?

Im hoping this is a thread that dies this season and is replaced with "Does our midfield score too many goals?"

May I suggest the show reels of Tonev and Bacuna could calm your fears?

And for those dubious of show reels - see what the foreign press are saying about these players (it's called Google Translate).  They are both hot young prospects.

UTV.

From the youtoooob videos, they can't half strike a fucking ball. We've all seen the Tonev one by now, but I suggest you guys watch Bacuna's too. He scores a great couple of screamers.
