Isegrim 8881 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I never doubted that with match fitness the goals will come. Even if never becoming the 'old' Michael Owen I reckon he is still far from 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 1 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I never doubted that with match fitness the goals will come. Even if never becoming the 'old' Michael Owen I reckon he is still far from 100%. He is still missing too many easy chances IMO. Not that I expect him to get them all, but it is important that he takes most of them, particularly as his pace has gone, and he's in a side that is creating little, although this has improved lately.

Tom 13883 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 4 in 7 games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9022 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I think if we had been picking up points people would have been saying what a good return, 4-in-7 is. However, without the points it doesn't really matter does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen 0 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 If you give him the chances, he'll get you the goals. Been unlucky to be denied by some good goalkeeping the past couple games. Good to see him on the scoresheet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidence and practice (considering the dearth of chances and that really he's still not been back that long considering how long he's been out over the last couple of seasons). Plus he's had more than a few saved by some pretty decent goalkeeping. I still think in a "Keegan side" (which this still is not) he'd be scoring pretty freely.

In all seriousness Patronisokles I know he manages it due to his superior timing of his run/leap compared to the cloggers around him, but still, you'd feel a bit daft if player half a foot shorter than you beat you to a header.

Happy Face 29 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 When Keegan arrived and made him captain I said he'd get 15 if he stayed fit. Looking at the games we've got left to play he'll probably struggle to do that, it should still be his target though. A Hat-trick against the mackems would surely get him a few verses of "Englands number 1". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 70 Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) These are a few months out of date. But his is still around a goal every two games which is what top tier strikers are judged by. He's dropped a few places at the end of 2006 he was 9th. 1 Ronaldo 172 239 0.72 36 72 0.50 62 97 0.64 270 408 0.66 2 Van Nistelrooy 120 187 0.64 53 69 0.77 28 54 0.52 201 310 0.65 3 Trezeguet 147 244 0.60 36 65 0.55 34 69 0.49 217 378 0.57 4 Vieri 160 260 0.62 30 69 0.43 23 49 0.47 213 378 0.56 5 Toni 101 177 0.57 0 0 0.00 12 27 0.44 113 204 0.55 6 Shevchenko 131 238 0.55 58 111 0.52 33 73 0.45 222 422 0.53 7 Adriano 74 159 0.47 19 32 0.59 25 37 0.68 118 228 0.52 8 Drogba 80 171 0.47 23 44 0.52 28 40 0.70 131 255 0.51 9 Pauleta 166 331 0.50 19 37 0.51 47 88 0.53 232 456 0.51 10 Crespo 151 294 0.51 36 77 0.47 32 62 0.52 219 433 0.51 11 Frei 63 132 0.48 8 18 0.44 32 56 0.57 103 206 0.50 12 Henry 197 375 0.53 50 109 0.46 39 92 0.42 286 576 0.50 13 Eto'o 115 225 0.51 18 39 0.46 33 73 0.45 166 337 0.49 14 Owen 138 266 0.52 22 54 0.41 37 82 0.45 197 402 0.49 15 Berbatov 81 187 0.43 21 41 0.51 35 58 0.60 137 286 0.48 16 Villa 72 147 0.49 8 21 0.38 10 21 0.48 90 189 0.48 17 F Inzaghi 27 286 0.09 51 87 0.59 24 55 0.44 202 428 0.47 18 S Arveladze 0 0 0.00 33 65 0.51 26 60 0.43 59 125 0.47 19 Raul 188 446 0.42 56 110 0.51 44 102 0.43 266 565 0.47 20 S John 9 62 0.15 0 0 0.00 67 100 0.67 76 162 0.47 21 Koller 67 170 0.39 25 58 0.43 48 78 0.62 140 306 0.46 22 Nonda 99 219 0.45 7 24 0.29 9 12 0.75 115 255 0.45 23 Montella 139 273 0.51 10 46 0.22 3 20 0.15 152 339 0.45 24 Morientes 135 311 0.43 38 91 0.42 27 47 0.57 200 449 0.45 25 Klose 97 209 0.46 11 44 0.25 33 69 0.48 141 322 0.44 26 Chevanton 54 125 0.43 9 16 0.56 7 21 0.33 70 162 0.43 27 Podolski 26 73 0.36 1 7 0.14 22 38 0.58 49 118 0.42 28 D Cisse 91 197 0.46 10 35 0.29 9 35 0.26 110 267 0.41 29 F Torres 75 174 0.43 0 0 0.00 14 42 0.33 89 216 0.41 30 Tristan 97 225 0.43 21 60 0.35 4 15 0.27 122 300 0.41 31 Kuranyi 65 163 0.40 13 36 0.36 18 40 0.45 96 239 0.40 32 Tamudo 113 283 0.40 5 14 0.36 4 9 0.44 122 306 0.40 33 Del Piero 134 331 0.40 43 106 0.41 26 81 0.32 203 518 0.39 34 Pizarro 100 230 0.43 22 65 0.34 13 50 0.26 135 345 0.39 35 Chiesa 137 378 0.36 24 42 0.57 7 17 0.41 168 437 0.38 36 Di Vaio 93 239 0.39 23 54 0.43 2 14 0.14 118 307 0.38 37 Keane 90 244 0.37 9 18 0.50 29 72 0.40 128 334 0.38 38 Martins 39 121 0.32 17 38 0.45 11 17 0.65 67 176 0.38 39 Suazo 44 108 0.41 0 0 0.00 8 29 0.28 52 137 0.38 40 Gilardino 87 216 0.40 6 34 0.18 9 23 0.39 102 273 0.37 Edited March 23, 2008 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
