Anyone else really miss Super Frank ?

Was just thinking what an incredible player he was. Record club top scorer from CM is ridiculous. That achievement alone never gets the recognition it truly deserves.

If there was one player we could keep young forever it would surely be him.

NPE I only saw your comment after I'd written mine. Looks like I'm not the only one then

Having a prolific scorer in a non forward position is worth its weight in gold

Looks like I might beat Obers this week. If Sarah has a bad game then it’s an easy W.

This is another issue with the 3-5-2. We only have two viable goal threats.

I'd say this is more of an issue with our squad in general. We lack goalscorers throughout.

Compare our squad to City or Liverpool and we have a dearth of reliable goalscorers. Neither Willian or Pedro really fit into that bracket sadly.

That’s why I call it negative CSTP. However aggressively or defensively you plays as a team it’s still 5 defenders playing. Meaning you are sacrificing a forward or attacking mid for an extra defender. Negative.

For teams like Spurs where nobody in the defence scores goals it puts way too much pressure on the attackers.

Charlie Austin back from the dead

great opportunity for Solanke today

How expensive is Austin on FF? Just transferred in Mounie but Austin fit with no competition looks a good buy

To counter that Edin, i would argue that with an extra attacking midfielder our attacking players would have to take on additional defensive responsibilities. Certailny the wide attacking players

If Liverpool win today with that level of rotation one will have to applaud Klopp

Giroud to the rescue again

I don’t disagree but asking your best goal scorers to defend is less negative than taking off a goal scorer.

We need Salah not to perform just for the sake of me beating obers at FF

I don't think we have any more goal scorers in our squad tbh

You’d rather Pedro was on the end of a chance than Christiansen though ultimately

That Everton team is awful

Alonso, AC, Fabregas (has scored 15 league goals in a season, once upon a time) will chip-in with goals at some points. Hopefully It won't be when we're out of competitions.

Not sure Bakayoko knows how to score.
