We are 20 goals off top spot (self.reddevils)

kaboom88 が 投稿

I was looking at the league table this morning and it shows that we have the second best defence in the league in terms of conceding goals (31), only Spurs are better (26). Where we fall down and its been an obvious problem throughout the season is scoring. We have scored 43 goals compared to Leicester (64), Spurs (65), Arsenal (59) and Man City (68).

Even looking at the top ten we have only scored more goals then Stoke (38)

Where will these 20 plus goals come from next season to challenge for the title

Will Memphis develop and get more game time, and start scoring goals for us.

Will Martial step up another gear

Is Rashford a 20 goal a season player, he is still very young.

Hopefully we will be buying in a new striker, will they settle quick enough to produce 20 goals in their first season.

Part of it is the striker. But a huge part of it is also the tactics and system limiting our chances. We create so few as it is and have scored less than Bournemouth for one thing.... That's how piss poor our attack really is. For all the possession, we do nothing useful enough with it.

A better striker would help. But it'll eventually hit the ceiling too and stagnate if the system and tactics don't change and allow for more creativity and chances for attackers to take.

Lack of a class creative player is the main problem.

Exactly. You can't expect your striker to score 20+ goals a season if he isn't getting many chances during games. Bring in a creative midfielder and a striker and we could arguably challenge for the title as long as it doesn't affect the balance of the team.

It's also partly due to the striker not making those runs and such which was the case for a lot of times in the season. Many crosses and such were not met by anyone as there were no one in the box or even close to it.

Yes, I agree with that which is why when Rashford has played he's scored a few goals because he's willing to make runs in between the channels. Eg. Against West Ham and Man City.

But what I'm saying is we don't have enough creative players to pick these passes at all times.

Yesterday there was an instance where Martial played the ball in from the left to Rashford who then laid it off to Fellaini. Martial made a run inside the 18 yard box and was clearly through, but due to the lack of ability Fellaini has he failed to see the pass and instead switched play the the other wing. A player like Kroos, James Rodriguez etc would've played the pass.

Our midfielders should be scoring more, as well as our CBs on set pieces and corners. This would make up a portion of those goals, and having a well performing front three and we could easily have 60-70 goals a season.

I think regardless of who the manager is next season, we will see a new striker come in. My top choice would be Benzema. However, only if he is willing to come to United. If it's a Di Maria situation I wouldn't want him. I know Benzema rejected Fergie, but maybe he would be willing to change his mind now. If not Benzema I would like to buy Higuain. My last option and most ideal would be Harry Kane, but that doesn't look like happening now does it.

I agree, if we get somebody in they need to want to join utd and have a real hunger for goal. I think we may need more than just the one striker though to encorage more competition for places

Benzema? Who's a starter for Madrid, arguably one of the, if not the, top destinations of football, where he's loved and has great links with Ronaldo and such?

And he would suddenly just want to join us, a club rebuilding yet again, with maybe no CL or even a shot at the title as of yet, over staying in sunny madrid?
