Danny Ings

[stringvest]

Expectations around Ings are pretty much non-existent.  The lad hopefully will get a chance to play himself into contention, at least for the bench.  He's worked hard, and I'd like to see him thrive. 

[Jockey]

Firmino is our best striker and yet has 23 goals for the club in 2 and a bit years.

Sturridge has 21 goals in the same period.

Combined, in all comps, our best 2 have 44 goals in 2 and a bit years.

.

Harry Kane has 67, on his own.

I'm just putting this out there - but i'd suggest that Kane has never played in midfield for the majority of that time? Unlike Firmino, who has.

[Lee909]

And yet with all them goals Kane scores we score a similar amount of goals per game as them.

[manwiththestick]

 

If you want to really dig down and consider why we have a problem scoring goals, you need only look at how 3 of our strikers fare when compared other English strikers in the division.

 

I don't think I'm being harsh here when I put them in order.

 

 

• Kane
• Vardy
• Rashford
• Welbeck
• Abraham
• Walcott
• Austin
• Rooney
• Wilson
• Deeney
• Grey
• Carroll
• Gayle
• Defoe
• Rodriguez
• Sturridge
• Calvert-Lewin
• Solanke
• Ings
• Crouch
• Berahino
• Baldock
• Akpom
• Murray
• Wickham

This is like that infamous Greta Steinson post from a few years back.

I'll just stop, you're right. The stats tell the whole story, we'll obviously finish top 2 or 3, stats say so.

 

Henderson has good stats as well. And Mignolet.

Yep, me too. He could be a really handy player if he can stay fit.

Stats don't tell you anything, analysis and interpretation of said stats does that.

 

Listing strikers 1-25 based on your own opinion isn't really saying anything either.

[liverpoolsno9]

I'm happy when we're smashing teams to pieces.

 

Fucking fed up how pathetic we are. Nothing about being a drama queen. Being a realist. Others like you can keep sticking their head in the sand pretending everything is great.

 

Just put me on ignore then instead of hanging on my posts.

You're only a fan when we're smashing teams, when we lose you want to jack it in. You spoilt child.

[liverpoolsno9]

Irony is, you're not happy unless you're having a moan about others moaning.

 

Are you the forum police, like? Only you seem to think it's your place to tell people what they can and cannot post. Fancy coming on here and telling someone to fuck off and leave. You couldn't make it up!

 

Do one you repetitive twat.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

The lad looks to have got fit.

Give him a fucking chance. Yes he has been fucked by injury but both for big long term ones. I'd be far more concerned if he was getting multiple muscle injuries than two freak knee injuries. Give him a go before writing him off.

 

That run he made across the keeper when he tried to get a little flick header was better than we have seen from Sturridge all season.

Agree with your first paragraph, and most likely outcome if he stays fit over time is that we at some stage get some decent money for him.

 

Second paragraph is spot on. TAA put in a similar, but better, cross against Burnley and none of our attackers moved.

Stats never tell the whole story, and we have been inefficient in our last games.

 

But honestly I would think more or less everyone would agree that our defensive weakness is a far bigger issue?

Danny Welbeck 4th - 253 games - 57 goals

Daniel Sturridge 16th - 261 games - 99 goals

[Strontium]

Funnneeeee not so much jumping the shark as somersaulting over Megalodon.

[TheHowieLama]

If you were to do an anagram fo Sturridge Sloanke and Ings - which you wouldn't...

[Strontium]

Sturridge, Solanke and Ings = turds in red, asking one slag

 

 

Cryptic.

[El Dangerous]

Welbeck is the 4th best on that list. Just thought I should point that out.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Welbeck is the 4th best on that list. Just thought I should point that out.

He just hasn't showed it yet.

[Jay86]

Ings is shit, always was and the injuries have done him no favours at all, the only way he features between now and January is to say he’s a decent squad player at Liverpool so he seems like an attractive offer to perspective buyers

[Gym Beglin]

Klopp today:

 

"we don't score often enough, so far, but I think that's a minor problem but of course it's a problem"

[Jockey]

Klopp today:

"so far."

[El Rojo]

In fairness to Klopp and our goalscoring, we're just lacking that wee bit of one of the best attackers in Europe being available due to him booting a goalkeeper in the face in a non-aggressive way.

 

The scoring will sort itself out. I'm not so sure about the conceding, though I'm not arsed once we're winning games.

[Lee909]

Well lets be honest

He is talking utter fucking nonsense. We have scored 17 goals in 9 games(all comps)

The fact we have conceded 16 is the fucking problem. Roughly 2 goals a game is plenty if we did not have a fucking shite defense

[Gym Beglin]

Did you know that Owen scored 70 of his 150 goals away from home?

[Gym Beglin]

Not many big name scorers scored more goals away from home than they did at home, but some include:

 

Giggs - 60 out of 109

Adebayor - 50 out of 97

Kane - 42 out of 80

Bellamy - 41 out of 79

Agbonlahor - 40 out of 73

Beckham - 36 out of 62

Benteke - 34 out of 66

Ekoku - 33 out of 52

Dzeko - 32 out of 50

Yaya - 31 out of 60
