Kiko this pre season, didn't look dangerous then he's presented with two chances and takes them and it pushes him on, gives him confidence. Diouf is under pressure, there is no question - though all the strikers are. I think we can't expect miracles from everyone

I don't think we've really dominated the games the way we can. Once we have a midfield that presses up the play then Diouf will become a threat but what he needs is a goal and to get himself fit - like everyone. If he scores a goal next game, things change again

For all the great play Berbatovs got two goals -one pen, Welbeck one goal, Kiko two in a game. Yesterdays game was tough and the celtic one was the first game of pre seasn. He might have come on as sub in other games but there's no continuity.

Maybe if Diouf plays against mls all stars he gets a goal or two. Maybe. The luck sometimes you need is to play in good performances and strong displays
