Dula doesn’t see it.

The team needs him to add end product but I'm pretty sure it will come, he gets into good areas too often for it not to. Reckon he'll end up getting Bobby Pires type numbers.

That is the dream.

His touch should improve as well as his shot. If they improve, he will get double figure goals in the future,

Gunner89

Pires was a 1 in 3 man and one of the most prolific wide players at a time when teams played with 2 forwards.

I'm all for bigging up ESR's display against Spurs but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

I actually don't care about his end product as long as he keeps strutting his stuffs and being the best foil for our 2 wide man. Yesterday there were countless of times he has ridiculously great touches to start attacks or keep play going fast.

it does matter imo. if odegaard, saka and esr are the creative 3, they all need to step up their goal scoring by at least 20%. we can't have 3 assist-first guys, the goals will dry up quickly. that's why nico will probably still get quite a bit of time, he's not as polished as the 3 above but he has more goalscoring edge. the dream is if ode, saka and esr add goals, because then you pretty much have the total package of interplay and cutting edge

Saka and Smith Rowe will be double figures a season players, perhaps even this season.

I think with Ødegaard, it depends whether he plays an 8 next to Partey, which I can see happening most weeks. Then it all gets a bit Stevie Me to start caring too much about his goal output.

Not sure if I see Saka and ESR as double figures players already. Saka might, ESR still needs a full season without injury interruption under his belt first.

Agree about Odegaard. A good CM chips in with a goal or two but it's nothing you should rely on for 10+ a season. Play him deeper, give Pepe a sustained run in the team and work on set pieces so our defenders start to add some goals from the back line, we haven't gotten a good return from there since Vermaelen in 09

You'd have to think we'll be a much bigger threat on set pieces with Gabriel and Tomi in the team. Gabriels always pretty good at attacking corners, Tomi is a big guy who's good in the air. Add in White, Partey and Auba who are all pretty tall and decent in the air too and we should be good for a few goals from corners.

Ricky1985

White has already gotten his head to 4 or 5 corners in the 4 games he's played. Great sign.

Qwiss

We need to stop dicking around with overly cute corner routines and just swing them in for our players to win.

goon

To be fair we've been keeping it simpler this year. I also thought the back post deliveries worked a treat against Spurs.

Tomi is absolutely fantastic in attacking corners. He will score a few this season.

Our corner kick taker is Pepe. And he’s as inconsistent with them as he is with everything else.

Coombs

And when Pepe doesn't play, we just give the ball to the opposition for a goal kick.

Southgate says ESR was very close to making the latest England squad. Should make it the next time I reckon, providing he continues his current form.

mentalvortex

Picked up for the U21 squad along with Balogun and John-Jules.

Qwiss

We should pull him out of the U21 bullshit.

Sicario

Will be in next England squad imo.

Highest ceiling player in our club.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

ESR is our most talented player. Saka needs to keep up.

goon

Double the league goals and assists as Grealish. ARE YOU READING THIS QUINCY!?

QuincyAbeyie

Hey, I'm just eagerly waiting for him to challenge Mbappe for the Ballon d'Or in a few years like you promised!
