Exactly - weāve now scored in 20 out of our last 25 PL games (and 2 of those were 0-0 draws) . We score goals. Looks like Undav hasnāt worked out or RDZ doesnāt fancy him but club are still clearly looking - yet with Welbeck, Ferguson, Enciso, Sarmiento, Trossard, Mitoma - RDZ has not been left short of options has he ?

It's basically a list of footballers who all play better with a focal point striker along side them...
...and Danny unWelbeck.

A slow steady increase in minutes will probably be the way, heās clearly our number 2 striker now (assuming Welbeck is fit) and looks like Undav is off.
I would expect a full 45 at least vs Everton, I consider him ready
Mitrovic is Serbian first (judging by his Covid curfew breaking with fellow London-based Serbs) and a footballer second. That may lead to trouble although he seems well liked by his team mates.
Toney is a god-botherer and (ironically) a naughty gambler (allegedly) otherwise apparently well liked by his team mates.
Not sure how disruptive any of that might be. I suspect the main barrier to going after them was we probably felt unprepared to pay the going rate at the time plus, of course, neither of them would have deigned to join little old Brighton anyway.

Itās a good joke but like the trope that āAlbion donāt scoreā - a tired one given that Welbeck has missed just 3 games in a year due to injury going back to Boxing Day 2021.
And in the last two he missed we scored 5 goals.

There are enough goals in the team but every time Mitoma crosses into an empty penalty area I think "if only..." Maybe I'm asking for too much but a fit CF would be nice.

Looking at Ferguson yesterday, he looks the real deal.
maybe we have actually found a diamond without spending stupid money?

Look forward to a rehash at the end of this month of the āwe need more goals from midfieldā argument even though we will still be playing the same midfielders who havenāt scored and invest heavily in the Einstein definition of madness.
Doing the same thing multiple times and expecting different results.
Agreed. He's a sturdy lad, and looks to be tall enough to be able to head a cross as well as kick. Fingers crossed he gets eased in without going all Connolly.

In the three season since signing heās managed the same number of goals in total that Murray managed in his last full season with us. Heās good but never in the same league goals wise as Murray.
I still think Maupay was fine. Yes, he missed a shed load of sitters but at least he was there to miss them. For what he cost and for what we pay, he was very good value. Welbeck, don't rate him at all. Never have. But I think Solly March is one of our better players so what do I know.

Thought we looked better when March went off last night, he has a habit of crossing into empty spaces just look up for a second canāt be that difficult
