So our most productive goalscoring partnership by far is part of the problem? Go on. Please enlighten me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant see why we couldn't try for him on loan in January. Are you implying that our goalscoring problems are down the lack of ability in our current strikers?

Mid Wicket Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 IMO we dont need Rhodes, money would be far better spent on a quick wide player who will take people on and create, although is'nt that what Buckley was brought in for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes to a certain degree. Our goal to chance ratio isn't up to scratch and the strikers have to take responsibility. I don't accept we are creating enough or the service isn't good enough. Carlos himself has said we aren't converting our chances enough. Rhodes is lights out at this level. He's done it for 4 or 5 seasons now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to get him in that box! Hooper took too long to get fit and his goal rate has declined so far this season. When he's on form he's the business at this level, but we can't wait 6-8 games for him to get up to speed. Rhodes looks after himself better and is more likely to hit the ground running.

There was a recent thread which shows that Hooper scores more regularly than Rhodes at this level if you strip out penalties. But hey, Hooper or Rhodes? I'm being picky. Still got to make chances though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In truth, we have on occasions been a little unlucky, but you can't blame luck when it's been over such a sizeable chunk of the season. Carlos might like to think it's simply a case of us missing chances, but he's probably trying to justify his tactics. I don't believe the likes of Forestieri, Hooper and Fletcher, have forgotten where the goal is, and I would put the lack of goals down to the way we play. There can be no argument that Rhodes wouldn't get goals in this division, his track record proves it. He might however, not be as prolific, if a large percentage of his time was spent defending from the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groundhopping Owl Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Ings is out injured again. If and when he comes back, Klopp may give him a shot as he's a player who sort of fits the mould, but even if he didn't a lower end PL club would probably take a punt on him.

rivelinowls Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Aeroswfc, Agree with most of yours but would take Mancienne too. Seen him live several times and has always impressed. Plus , his contract ends next June so will be relatively cheap January, then fits in with DC' sstrategy. Bruce said on Radio 5 Monday that they have 8 strikers and he only plays 1 upfront so some have to go January. Clears way for us on Jordan Rhodes. A cheeky big also for Andre Gray? Seems Burnley don't think he's Premiership stuff. And Judge won't be flying until Easter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
