Statistics don't tell the whole story do they?
Just like Lukaku, decent numbers under Solskjaer (so ultimately that matters) but dogshit performances. Brief moments of good play are making the numbers but then you add in all the misplaced passes, awful touches, bad runs, clumsy attempts at taking people on, lack of effort on occasion, etc. and it doesn't sit well.
I want to see Sanchez's stats for the Arsenal game in terms of pass completion, number of times tackled, successful take ons, etc because I bet they're shocking.
That's why I said sample size is small. Also Lukaku wasn't performance wasn't bad except vs Reading. Only game he started was Reading and Arsenal, he was poor vs reading and good vs Arsenal. Hard to judge him with limited game time. (there is a huge difference compared to Rashford's performance though, but at least he is contributing).
Anyways it's always good to see attacking scoring and assisting, especially the ones that change the game rather than stat padding.
Lukaku scored 4th goal vs Bournemouth after coming on as a sub
Scored 1st goal after coming as a sub vs Newcastle
Scored second goal vs Reading
Assisted first 2 goals vs Arsenal
So all this goal contributions are important in changing the game except the one vs Bournemouth
Sanchez assisted second goal vs Newcastle, coming on as a sub
Assisted second goal vs Reading
Scored opening goal vs Arsenal
Like Lukaku, his goal contributions were important in changing the game.
Like already mentioned, sample size is small but it's always good to see attackers contributing even coming on as sub.
