The stats are from starts.

Some of our players got goals from the subs bench, however Ronaldo got quite a few for United, so it doesn't really alter the stats.

Now you could argue that our midfield players need a target to aim for. A top striker could put the opposition on the back foot and give space for others.

I personally feel that our strikers did their job last season. Sure if we get a Torres or an Owen then hopefully they will score a few more. But a new finishers is not going to score that many more than Kuyt or Crouch did. However a player such as Tevez could offer creation in tight games and be a match winner, be it a free kick, a touch of brilliance or through determination (just like his goal at Old Trafford). I feel our team lacks match winners, be it strikers or midfielders. United have Rooney, Ronaldo, Giggs and Scholes who can win a match with some brilliance. If you look at our team, we only have Gerrard and Garcia, in my opinion.
