He’s got slightly better numbers. ‘3 or 4’ goals is not literal anyway. If he ended up with 5, which he is on now, so what? He had a great game yesterday, the type I haven’t really seen before, and got himself two goals. He was also allowed to get himself another goal by some fecking stupidity by David De Gea, when in reality his scuffed shot was more in keeping with the sort of player I believe him to be.
If he has turned some sort of corner and kicked on, brilliant for him and my assessment was wrong. I don’t think it’s the time to say so though. Yesterday’s game was rare. He is gifted but typically lacks composure or sense in the final phase. He scuffed another absolute sitter at Anfield earlier this season too, in a game Watford should have won.
