The interesting thing is that if you look at top scorers, he obviously hasn't scored the most PL goals this season, but this season, and regularly, season after season, in terms of fewest number of minutes on pitch to highest number of goals, he's literally miles ahead of anyone else. No-one else can touch him. Certainly not Vardy, certainly not Aubameyang, this season. And he actually misses quite a few. This tells you a) that he's in a team where he's getting superb service b) when he's on the pitch, there is danger at all moments. Both of these we knew, but they're confirmed by the stats. As I remember it, there was a period about four or five seasons back when he was picking up quite a few injuries — out for four weeks here, out for two months there. It's wonderful that he seems to have come through that and come out the other side. I don't see any reason why he shouldn't continue at the very top level for two or three more seasons.
Gabi is going to have to wait to become top dog up front. By the way, I love them playing together. Over and again, they've proved that that can function.
