In our system with two attacking wide players, how many goals should be the minimum expected during a PL season from those two positions and how many assists should we expect? I could have posted this in the "Goals where are they coming from" thread but there is a specific direction I want to go with this thread so its best suited with its own thread I think. Sterling and Suso/Borini have started most PL games in these two positions this season with 17 out of 18 possible starts between them while Downing is recorded with the last one, so far its resulted in 1 goal and 0 assists from 273 of our front three. I guess we can all agree its not good enough compared to anything really, but still some of the players in these positions have got a lot of credit for their performances so far this season even if they are not really delievering to the standards required at a club like ours. Do we have a mismatch between the standard we demand from the team compared to those we demand from our players or what exactly is going on? Yes we have young players, but should young players not be asked to deliever? If we set a lower standard for them just because they are young are they really ready? And most importantly for this thread, do you think these players will be even close to deliever what you think is a minimum requirement from these positions when it comes to goals and assists?

SHIT STAT ANALYSIS This is a bit tricky as West Ham are currently joint 10th but lets not let that get in the way of the stat all the media love to point out. We are currently on zero if you exclude that West Ham result. But they could be in the Top Ten come May, so you have to to gauge that as well in your vote. I'd appreciate if Code could provide how many of the Top Ten teams we have beaten for each of the last three seasons as well. At the end of the season we will comeback and compare (just to see how shit this stat really is), however it is worth pointing out that we have had victories over West Ham, Fulham, Sunderland and Norwich who are all only a few points from the Top Ten - so at the end of the season we - even if we don't win another game - could finish with beating some of the final Top Ten anyway.
