Games we've not won - who's trying to step up?
We have failed to win 13/34 of our games so far. 38.2%. We are the leaders in missing clear cut chances in the league and have the worst GD in the top 6. Are we too reliant on Ibrahimovic? He has 12 goals more than 2nd top scorer Mata.
In the 13 games we haven't won (City, Feyenoord, Watford, Stoke, Liverpool, Chelsea, Burnley, Fenerbache, Arsenal, West Ham, Everton, Liverpool, Stoke) -
Ibrahimovic has scored in 4/12. Only 2 affected the result. 2 points.
Mata has scored in 1/12. Affected the result. 1 point
Pogba has scored in 0/13.
Martial has scored in 1/9. Affected the result. 1 point
Rashford has scored in 1/11.
Rooney has scored in 2/10. 1 Affected the result. 1 point.
Lingard has scored in 0/7.
Mkhitaryan has scored in 0/6.
So when it comes to finding an equaliser when losing, not many people step up to it...In fact, when in a losing position, we have only come back to win once (Boro) and have managed to draw 3 times (West Ham, Liverpool, Stoke)
But when taking leads...We have not dropped points if we've scored twice or more. When taking a 1 goal lead we've not been beaten, but have drawn 3 times. (Stoke, Arsenal, Everton)
The lack of influence when we go down in games is clear. Once we're already up in games we're sailing. But if we don't grab that 1st goal then we struggle, only 9 goals scored by our top scorers in games we failed to win, as a result of not being able to fight back or not being able to kill games off.
Simply getting on the scoresheet doesn't seem to be a problem, we've only failed to score 4 times this season. But 1 goal isn't enough for the chances we seem to be creating. Do we need another option up top? I believe we do. If we had RVP from 12/13, a van Nistelrooy, prime Rooney, 2008 Ronaldo, we'd probably be top of the table.
This entire thread is pretty pointless, but like i said, I'm bored.
