Spot on Chazwe don't seem to put ourselves about in the opposition box anymore from set pieces

I also note that Reda scored more that 'Banjo' Antonioand he was injured just as much
Although to be fair to MA, he was often the provider for the goals, by far the player with the most assists for us.
Since we have been back in SBC, Antonio has the most assists of any player in the league. He is also the scorer of the most goals for any player not designated as a striker.
We all know that our goals dried up the day Antonio walked out. A lot of people still won't admit it but the number of attempts on goal from inside the penalty area have reduced by 75% this season & that is due to Antonio & the perceived threat of Antonio. Opposition teams couldn't push for fear of Antonio's pace so we got the ball far more in the opposition box, unlike now.
SG's biggest mistake was bringing in May but selling our main provider to get him. Little surprise he doesn't score many.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
