Quote from: Smirker on Today at 07:27:00 PMScoring goals is his primary job. He's a striker. That's their job. Especially when he's the lone striker.But that’s where you’re most wrong. I don’t want him scoring 9 more if it means the team scores 10 fewer overall.
Scoring goals is his primary job. He's a striker. That's their job. Especially when he's the lone striker.
It's other people who bring assists and running a lot into it as a defence for his poor return, not me. I'm not ignoring anything. It's a discussion about goalscoring, not his all round game.
Quote from: pauliewalnuts on Today at 07:15:34 PMQuote from: Smirker on Today at 07:14:06 PM"Watkins doesn't score enough goals" - must be trolling. Do you genuinely think 17 goals is a good return for his past 61 games? Not assists, not pre assists, just goals. More or less 1 in 3.Yes, frankly, given the other stuff he does too - and I don't care if you think that doesn't come into it, it should.That's a no.The discussion from here should be, 'do you think his all round game makes up for his poor goal return?'. That is at least a more reasonable discussion to have. It shouldn't be, 'his goal return is good enough because he also has assists and runs around a lot'. The latter doesn't mean the former is good enough.

Not assists, not pre assists, just goals.I think that's where you depart from pretty much everybody else, you seem to think that if a team scores forty and the striker scores twenty, that striker is better than one who scores fifteen in a team that scores fifty. Which is silly.I would think that the one who scored 20 goals has a better goal record than the one who scored 15. Which would be fact?Obviously I can understand the wider point of contribution to the team as a whole but that's not what I'm discussing.
