Ha ! You've said something pretty positive about one of our strikers sir. you're going soft !

He did and thanks for reminding us. Im just trying to provide some context and defend our players against over the top criticism and where appropriate. you said that one of our players would have taken a touch or gone for another pass, ... compared to Traore. Did you see Welbeck's goal last week ?

Well not that clearly . As his impact has been pretty limited / absent this season - fewer goals/assists than Welbeck, Trossard, Gross, Maupay, Dunk, and Solly.

Ha ! fair enough i think its a bit harsh - its more complex/nuanced than than imo - to call our strikers failures and not decent but there you go !

We signed Maupay and Welbeck who have been decent and certainly not failures. Even Connolly is underrated on here and he cost nothing (and might develop into a 20 goal a year Champ striker on loan - he's still v. young) If we'd signed a striker who'd scored 15+ goals then that would be terrific...

That was his 2nd goal of the season. Until his goal against Fulham last month he'd gone 28 games without a goal. (also probably no different to MacAlister's goal / first touch strike to earn the point v Palace (A) - in sense it was a one off. He's not scored since. )

Well the BBC, The Athletic and The Sun must clearly have reporters that don't know either. You said our recruitment of strikers has been a failure - Locadia obviously - but the goals from Murray, Maupay, Welbeck have kept us in the premier league for 4 seasons and almost certainly 5. Is that a...

One of my best moments watching Albion recently was being in the away end watching him secure that win v Arsenal with a superb glancing header.

It was £16m according to BBC Sport https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48975141 and The Sun https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/premierleague/9660109/brighton-confirm-20million-maupay-brentford/, Naylor etc. Welbeck - a failure ? 5 goals (and points secured v Villa, Leeds, Sheff Utd, and...
