Probably more impressive than Glenn Murray's recent record.

At the start of the season when folk were previously discussing his Man U transfer on these pages I stated his Prem goals would not get into double figures this season. I still stand by this. This is also part of the reason why he should not go to the world cup.

Isn't though, is it? I can think of 3/4 shots from the last 3/4 games immediately. Still, nice to see yet another WW attempt at being contraversial for the sake of it has totally failed.

not on current prem form
How can someone has Minus 4 shots on goal?
I dont really care who goes to the World Cup Owen, Zamora or Bent the chances of 2 of the following Rooney, Defoe, Crouch or Heskey getting injured at the World cup are quite slim and them 4 players will get picked over Owen anyday.

Seriously? If this was a sarcastic remark I'm sorry, but it is not the first time it was mentioned in the thread, so I'll explain
- 4 is not the same as -4. That space is all important. It isn't a minus it's a dash. It links the preceding category with the folowing number.
........Dash to link them

Shots - 4

That looks better than a dash
Personally I prefer:
Appearances in the league this season: 14 (10 as sub)
Shots on target: 4
Goals: 2
50%, not that bad.
Not to mention -
UEFA Champions League
Appearances: 6 (3 as sub)
Shots on target: 7
Goals: 4
English Carling Cup
Appearances: 2
Shots on target: 1
Goals: 1
We all know he's not a 90 minute, every game striker. He's very much a last 10 minutes, need a goal striker.
Why are people seriously suggesting Zamora will go to the World Cup!?
Get a f***ing grip he's had like 5 good games in the last 5 years.

On soccerbase, they don't count shots that resulted in a goal. i.e. those 4 shots would not include the two that led to a goal, so he's had 6 shots, making it 33.33%
Still good rate I guess. But, 6 shots on target in 14 appearances isn't good.

Which is probably more than Owen in the last 3 years.

and his competition is.......? You have to take Rooney and Crouch, surely, but the other spots are sooo up for grabs. Bobby Z is making a belated possible case, plus what about Agbonglahor's pace and overall goalsneekingness?
Suffice to say I'm more excited about the Socceroos potential rollercoatser stouch with Serbia to get out of Germany's really copmpetitive group as doubtless England will go out on penalties somewhere in the knockout stage, we all know it's going to happen....
