Can we really judge any striker on their true worth, when all we do is hoof the ball, hopefully to them and pray they can do something with it?
Without some form of creativity in the midfield, a strikers opportunities are severely limited. Rondon is a prime example, look at the way he seems to knock them in for fun when playing nationally and did not do a bad job at Zenit before he joined us where his figures were 28 in 57, a ratio of a goal in 2.04 games. Since joining us he is 11 in 44 or a ratio of a goal every 4 games.
You remember that chant we had for Geoff Horsfield "Feed the horse", it sums it up nicely, you have to feed your strikers for them to score!!!
