Mateta

[sprites]

That seems to be an assumption made because he does not contribute much in other respects, However as I pointed out in another thread
"Since Nketiah joined, he has scored 5 goals from an xG of 7.6 in the league. Over the same time period, Mateta has 21 from 23.7"
pretty unimpressive

Nah not for me...just from what I observe. But it's definitely more to do with the dearth of better options than it is a credit to Eddie. Saying he's the best we've got doesn't require him to be a great finisher, because his competition is pretty woeful. Sarr probably the closest. Good strikers don't miss the absolute sitters that JP's missed with such consistency.

Put it this way...if you delivered 10 balls out in front of JP and Eddie from 10 different angles against a keeper, who would score the most?

19 goals/ 116 games for arsenal.
3/17 in the championship for Leeds.
5/39 for us.
That’s not a £25 million striker.
Over priced/hyped because he was at arsenal and done well in England youth set up.
I have no confidence when he’s through on goal, would rather Sarr get an opportunity than him.

Neither, really. But more than Mateta. That's my point. I think we're agreeing more than we're disagreeing tbh.

Yeah, I’m not disagreeing or looking for a row.
Just gutted that our options are poor atm need the mateta of 6 months ago or similar. Think nketia outlay/wages will end up being similar to Benteke, minus the 15 goal season.

Would love prime Murray/AJ right now

Tell me about it mate! Murray would score a hat full in this team.
