Even the title I have put at the top of this post could be seen as a bit on the harsh side on the 28 - year old, as he scored 19
goals for the Gunners
last season, at a
ratio of just better than one every other
game, and he already has three for the new season so far, despite being well down the pecking order of forward players available
to the boss.
We go
to town on OG but we have 2 wide / second strikers in TH14 and AS17 who have league
goal /
game ratios of 0.41 and 0.44 respectively over the
last 3 seasons.
Whilst we like
to beat up on OG his
goals /
game ratio in PL over the
last 3 years is pretty similar
to Benzeman — who plays in a team that creates far more chances against arguably weaker opposition week in week out.
«Olivier has been very good for us in the
last few months and he has a very high
ratio in terms the amount of
games played
to goals.
Last season those numbers did drop
to 14 and 19 but because of injury he played a lot fewer
games and his
goals per
game ratio actually went up.
Having said that, if he can maintain his 0.99
goals per
game PL
ratio for
last season we might have
to review the situation.
If he wanted
to be fair
to DB he could have mentioned that RvP had a league
goal /
game ratio almost identical
to DB at his age (and as Gooners we have
to remember the first 7 years not the
last one) and WR wasn't pulling up trees at that age with a 0.33
ratio.
Its a little like talking about how RM need a new striker
to compete because of Benzema's poor league return in the
last 3 seasons (at about the same
goal /
game ratio as Giroud) and failing
to mention Ronaldo's
goal contribution.
His career has been played entirely in Spain and over the
last few years he has established his credentials with an impressive
goals -
to -
games ratio.
That is one of the aspects of his
game that attracted Allardyce, who said: «Joey has been among the goalscorers for Manchester City over the
last two years and I felt this was the biggest area where Newcastle needed
to improve having looked at the
goal - scoring
ratio of midfield players
last season.
