13 goals in 30 games is a poor return for the main striker at a top club. 9 yellow cards in those 30 games.

I assumed the initial post referred to league goals, hence my error. Doesn't change much though. A goal every two games is respectable for any striker. Bearing in mind the injuries and loss of form, he's scored a decent amount of goals. It's actually 8 from 18 in the league, which is perfectly fine. Drogba has scored 5 from 11 in the league, is he having a crisis? Berbatov is 12 from 27 and we all know how highly he is rated in the caf.
And what the fuck has yellow cards got to do with anything? Are you hoping for the FIFA fair-play trophy?

Whats next - he scored the penalty in that game? The way you are going, does it really matter if its an opposition player or a United player? Rooney can still take the credit.  |
Yup. That's two mistakes in my initial post. D'oh. If it's any excuse I'm monstrously hungover after my stag weeekend but yeah, I'll take that one on the chin
The point about a lack of runs from midfield stands though.
