You talk sense most often...but that is complete drivel.
We don't need to be more clinical, we score 100 a season....we simply need to concentrate or get defenders who can.
The best keepers are in top sides who produce great saves when only facing a couple of shots a game....same with defenders, not the ones throwing themselves in front of everything for 90min.
You are actually saying if we score enough it doesn't matter what we concede....might aswell play 11 cfs then?
Ha.
This is drivel. "We don't need to be more clinical, we score 100 a season".
It doesn't fucking matter if you score 5+ seven times in a season and pump up your total goals if you can't score against Southampton, Spurs, United, Spurs & Wolves when it matters because your forwards miss so many chances.
Almost every game we have lost or dropped points in this season was a result of us conceding after our forwards butchered multiple big chances.
That's what matters, how clinical you are at 0-0 and 1-0. Not how many extra you put past Watford and Villa when they've given up at 4-0.
If you are talking about Benzema he is still better than Kane in terms of what he has achieved individually and in a team. Age means nothing. As for Kane he is the main man in a team that is set up for counter attacking. We aren't set up for that and won't be playing that type of Football as long as Pep is in charge. And he is injury prone and has missed large chunks of last season and is known to have very dodgy ankles.
Kane is far from a counter attacking reliant striker and can score all kinds of goals. His goal record outshines Benzema and more importantly every premier league striker apart from Sergio. Touching 30 pl games in his 2 most injury hit seasons hardly makes him a sick note.

We have to agree to disagree on this. I just don't rate Sir Harry Hotspur.Benzema has achieved a lot more in his career both as an individual and as Team player both at club and International level. On top of that Spurs are built playing to Kane's strengths. Personality wise I give you that.

I'm sure your not...but you sound 14 yrs old.
We need a 30 goal a season striker because we didn't score 5 in a few games lmfao.

I'm sure you're not but you seem illiterate because you obviously can't or won't read my comments.
I never said we need a 30 goal a striker, and I didn't say our problem was we didn't score 5 in some games (literally the opposite in fact).
Try reading the comments through again.
My opinion too. I can't think of many points dropped that weren't because we missed easy chances or couldn't break down packed defences.You can't separate defence and offence into distinct categories like that.
We aren't a side that loses slugging contests where both sides attack and the best wins. We lose games when we concede a goal against a side who then successfully parks the bus, and usually we concede those goals because the attack is not working first, which builds pressure, and we over commit trying to force a goal.
If you bumped up our efficiency in front of goal 10%, we'd concede 10 fewer goals, easily.
Because time after time, we miss buckets of good chances, panic, and then concede a stupid goal on the break because we're desperate to score or else we'll fall behind in the table.
IMO Liverpool won because they had "A grade Defence" + "A grade Attack".
We won the previous season because we had "A grade Defence" + "A+ grade Attack".
Right now we have "B+grade Defence" + "A grade Attack"
We need to improve both in defence and attack if we want to get back to our best.
Just addressing one or the other isn't enough imo.

i agree, I looked at the stats for goals scored for the last 5 seasons and compared them to the dippers and scum
2019/20
Us 102 dippers 85 scum 66
2018/19
us 95 dippers 89 scum 65
2017/18
us 106 dippers 84 scum 68
2016/17
us 80 dippers 78 scum 54
2015/16
us 71 dippers 63 scum 49 (haha)
so we do not generally have a problem scoring, it’s the other end we need to improve. I know stats don’t say it all, wehave missed some big chances in big games this year, but if we stop or cut down on the quality chances we give away then I think we have enough firepower
I'm a complete pessimist, but yes, it does seem very strange to me that no one is all that concerned that our 32 year old striker just had knee surgery. Everyone's injuries are different, but Mendy also had surgery on his meniscus and look how long it took for him to get back.People underestimating how much this injury could affect Aguero, IMO.
As an aside, I think Benzema is one of the most underrated players in recent memory. Ten years and 250 goals at Real is no small feat.We have to agree to disagree on this. I just don't rate Sir Harry Hotspur.Benzema has achieved a lot more in his career both as an individual and as Team player both at club and International level. On top of that Spurs are built playing to Kane's strengths. Personality wise I give you that.

Iv been talking to my friend who just graduated from university in sports science, i was talking to him about injuries just in convo and he said the injury aguero has may change him as a player, at the age he has sustained the meniscus injury it can be incredibly difficult to recover to your best. its an injury that takes 4 to 6 weeks to heal but the after effects are worse. He told me hes seen athletes that lose power in that leg, a rugby player he had to do a study on did his meniscus and he was a kicker, he lost half of his kicking ability because of the meniscus injury, pace takes ages to come back as well, i honestly think thats why we are looking at a stiker. I love Aguero but hand on heart hope it dosent happen but i think this injury may come up a lot next season, the amount of games we play as well. from what my friend says it only takes a knock/collision for that knee to flare up again, then your out for 2 to 3 weeks recovery again.
He’s back?..
I want Mbappe. Watching him now against Atlanta. He is fantastic.

Don't we all mate.
Apparently Dybala is for sale...
Rate him much higher than Felix or Lautaro and he is just about different enough from Aguero and Jesus that I could see them coexisting.
Still only 26...just voted best player in Italy...€80m price tag according to CdS.

I would pay €80m for Dybala in a heartbeat. He's a much safer bet than either Felix or Lautaro, probably cheaper than both at that price, and we ain't getting Haaland next season so there's no point in holding out for that. If I recall when we were linked a few years back he'd be pretty amenable to the idea as well.Apparently Dybala is for sale...

I want Kate Beckinsale alone and with no clothes. Doesn't mean it'll happen, or is even the slightest bit realistic.
Agreed, if there is any chance I would be all over this.Apparently Dybala is for sale...

I really want Felix but Dybala is a class act, vastly underrated player.

By the time the winter transfer window opens there will be another 18 year old generational talent that leaps onto the world's stage

If we were to persuade Wolves to sell Raul Jimenez, we would definitely win the league next season.
