He doesn't need to fecking work on his finishing. He just needs to regain some form and play a decent run of games. Then the goals will start to flow again. I reckon he's still only at about 80% of what he could be.

But I think the signs are there that he's about to burst into life and score a shit-load of goals. And then all these doubts about his finishing will seem ridiculous.
He really isn't. At best he's an amazing player and good finisher. His finishing has never been top drawer but he's scored as many goals as he has so far because his movement, positioning and the service he receives are all exceptional and his finishing on average is probably just above average.

He's young though, so this doesn't bother me much. Would be nice if his finishing matched the rest of his game sooner rather than later though...
