Well if we are going to take my massively optimistic statement seriously then yes March will need to be back to his peak, likewise Mitoma. In fact we would also need Estupinian to recapture the magic, Baleba to fulfill his potential extremely quickly and everyone else to improve or maintain their levels of brilliance Groß-stylee.
We need Mitoma and Estupiñan on the pitch together - massively missed that partnership this season

You can see he is short of confidence at the moment.
Just needs one to go in off his ass and then I am sure more goals will come.

Would say out current set up on the pitch is not helping. He hets 0 service from the 0 pace we have.
Yet, RDZ still plays him as a target man.

Why does the question assume Evan will score.another goal?

This thread reminds me of the time Chris McPhee vowed he would not cut his hair until he scored his next goal for the Albion.

When RDZ stops sulking and we get back to playing decent attacking football again!
It’s been a combination of things.
With his general play/hold up play (so not goals) Evan appears to have lost his strength this season, run of the mill CB’s who were being run ragged by him last season, are all able to bully him in open play. I’m guessing he’s not fully fit or carrying an injury.
A loss of confidence from that.
There’ve been several home games (I don’t go away) where Ferguson or Welbeck were making great early runs say 40 yards out from goal, on repeat the obvious and doable balls never came. MacA and Gross last season just made them instinctively. Instead, since October 2023 in PL games, overplay and a lack of vision in midfield.

Goal or no goal not that important but needs to be involved when he is playing as it stands I barely see him. But goes a lot for who ever we have up there I dont think Welbeck is involved enough either. Like I said in another thread we barely use our strikers so we could just have another player in midfield instead

It’s ok to say when our players are performing poorly. Dunks not been at his best, most agree.
But I’ve faith in Evan. He’ll come good again. Don’t forget, he’s a human being not a machine. Ups and downs and all that.

Also did anyone listen to the Adam Virgo podcast last week? You never know what’s going on behind closed doors in someone’s personal life, and my god, sometimes it’s no wonder high profile footballers go through fallow periods after you’ve listened to that! Humans are humans, regardless how much they get paid.

Agree with all of that. Its NOT just a lack of quality crosses. At his best he is well capable of stroking the ball home from all angles (Newcastle, Forest) as opposed to relying on someone dropping it on his noggin from out wide.
He'll come good again. We've all seen he has the talent, that doesn't just disappear. He has a top attitude as well. With regular games I'd back him to get 8-10 goals next season.

He will next score on his 17 appearance for Chelsea after a £120m move in the Summer. After that who knows?
Do own goals count?

This.
I've lost count of the times he's given a sign, rolled a defender, but never got 'the ball' or even a pass . . . . . . I don't think he's the problem with 'not scoring' most of the time .
