Yes, the goalscoring form of Gross, Trossard and Macca is really taking the pressure of Danny.
We've scored 9 goals in our last 2 games so as long as they continue to notch and hopefully some of the others, like Solly start to contribute, then it really doesn't matter much if Danny isn't...
It's a tricky one.
Very very good outside the box, not so good in it.
The way I see it, as long as the team are scoring and he's contributing to the build up play he's doing his job for us.
But most can see that results are fine because Danny offers more outside the box than Neal did. Hence why Neal fell down the pecking order and was shipped out.
Or he'll be dropped? Or replaced by an expensive new forward signing? Hmm I don't think so.
What is different this season is that the midfield are scoring. As long as that continues it sort of doesn't matter whether Danny is scoring or not as long as he leads the line like he does
This goalscoring thing. I do find it a bit odd that he's not really getting many chances, given that we do create a lot.
Not knocking btw, I'm just curious whether it is a by product of the way we play or he's just a much better player out of the box than in it.
