I don’t think we will win the league this season without an out and out goalscorer.
Yes we can score goals, but the issue is not scoring goals per se as we get plenty against Norwich and Watford etc. It’s the not putting away chances in tight games we dominate due to not having a natural goalscorer, the type that can turn a dominant performance at 0-0 into a 0-1 defeat when we are caught on the break.
I think there will be a few times this season where we say “if we had Lukaku, Ronaldo or Salah one of those chances would be put away”
I don’t think it’s a case of needing Jesus, Torres, Sterling, Foden etc to score 10-15 goals each, it’s about needing them to score important goals at important moments in the game.
It will be interesting to see how Delap gets on and I would look to develop Torres more in that role.
