The Donkey

The first was the one that gives me most hope. Knowing he had time and he didn't have to welly it, but took it easy and found the gap. Has he ever even tried that before? That'll be the difference between good and great.
Similar to last year CL against rangers but more central yesterday
 
That’s the most frustrating thing about him - he has the ability and he clearly has the mindset and work ethic to be a world class forward - he’s just inconsistent.

It’s, as someone said, the difference between good and great.

I think he’s up to “Uruguayan Andy Cole” level, for sure - that’s not bad.
 
Chaos Donkey needs to go on a hot scoring streak now - particularly against Chelsea & Arsenal - don’t care if it’s a “world class finish” off his arse - I just want him to bang in 5 or 6 in the next 2 or 3 league games.
 
It probably helps that he has the brain of a goldfish and probably forgets he missed 3 seconds after he did.
Your not very nice towards Darwin are you ?, oh well we all have players we think very low, my own one is Henderson.

Well this is it for me. He got those two against Newcastle and lived off it for ageeees. If he can do better than the 3 goals in 16 league matches between his braces that would win a lot fans over.

How about being the only player in the PL to have 10 goals and 10 assists at just over the halfway stage?

If he gets 17-18 goals and the same in assists that is an excellent return. Esp. since most teams play their same front men game in game out yet we rotate between five of them, all scoring.

It's what the team as an entity score that is most important and we are barely behind City with, most significantly since 'PLs are won by the defence', the best defence in the league, despite the whinging of some on here.

But yeah if he spread those goals out more I'd like it too 😉

To be honest i don’t really care about the other competitions. 7 goals and 6 assists in the league is alright depending on how you look at it. If we think he’s a 9 it’s meh but throw in the assists and it becomes good output for a ‘forward’.

I just want to see less of a pronounced lull in scoring after this double, any improvement on 3 in 16 would be nice.

Wait what? That 10 goals /10 assists stat was in all competitions?
In that case he needs to keep scoring. 7 goals and 6 assist is definitely meh.

Yeah in all comps. The fact he's the first one to do it is wild however

13 G/A in 13 PL starts is more than 'meh'. It only feels 'meh' because he has had enough big chances for it to 27 goals in that time.

It is, feels like someone like Suarez, Mane or Salah should have done it too.
Edit: I misunderstood. Not the first one ever, right?
They're saying he's the first one so far this season?

If it was Steven Fletcher or Clint Dempsey I'd be with you, but we're talking about someone we bought for £80+ mill.
He's scored as many goals as Jota in the Prem in like 500 more minutes.
It's OK, it's not good.

No we didn't. Will you PLEASE stop that BS ! You're as bad as the Mancs on RedCafe. Whatever it may end up being (and that depends on him and us) it's nowhere near that as yet.

Yeah just this season.

Ok I looked it up:
The upfront fee of £64m will rise to £85m should Nunez reach a number of milestones outlined in his agreement, which range from scoring goals to winning the Champions League.

£64 mill is still a lot of dough.

But it's £21m short of £85m ! That is a mighty large 'rounding up' error ! 🤣

Well he’s certainly saving us money by developing his ability to pass in 3 yards to someone else more adept at putting the ball in the back of the net.

If only Benfica had asked for add ons for assists!!!!

A mere 33% rounding error. Unless Modo is admitting that he will hit every goalscoring milestone which, of course would be 'meh'

Henderson has gone! Whilst here, he was the spearhead for reaching finals and getting to 97 and 99 points
 
How come? 🤔
There was a new IT system for post offices in the UK, loads of people were accused of stealing and arrested, some even killed themselves. Later proven to be innocent and an error in the IT system… it was just a joke about the rounding errors that i definitely shouldn’t have made to a Swede

Good reference, not the best target.
Funnily enough, you weren't that far off, I worked as a postman for 5 years, did some package sorting too 😀
