Guessing they shot up since the draw?

I still feel like people have unrealistic expectations of how many a goalscorer for a club like us should be getting. Last season only 8 players got 15 or higher and only one of those didn't play for the top 6 - and that was Vardy. Expecting us to find someone who can come in and score 10 goals in half a season, as well as be an effective target man? It won't happen. Best we can hope for is someone coming in and popping up with 5 goals but fitting into the system well enough that they can also create space, chances and goals for other players. Fwiw, Adams has the same amount of goals as Son, more than Scamacca, Daka, Watkins, Eze who have all been suggested on here as examples of the types of striker we need, and only one less than Jesus or Nunez who are playing in much better sides and were vastly more expensive. Proper goalscorers are dying out in the modern game. We were spoilt with Ings banging in that 20 goal season and now we think it's what should be expected when in reality what we need is 3 or 4 players who can be relied on to get between 5 and 10 goals, and then the rest chipping in with a couple.

I love that the post match analysis starts listing all the things they'll talk about Saints, and then they just launch straight into talking about City.

Everyone was great but Lyanco was unreal. If he can keep his head and cut out the mental mistakes then he could be a cult hero.

Nuts.

Ermmm?

Fucking come on!!!!!

Lyanco motm without a doubt.

I went to fart as that cross went in to Haaland, it was very nearly a messy disaster.

Foul throw from Cancelo 😂 what an idiot.

City now 40/1 to win if anyone is still worried.

Ridiculous from Lyanco there, did really well to win it back then in a rush of blood punts it to the keeper.

Adams needs to f*cking sort out his timing of runs, he's offside so much.

Holy shit it's gone 70 minutes already...

KWP could really do with taking early shots from time to time. He often receives the ball in the box with a sight at goal but holds it till the angle is closed off.

There's Bazunu, with his great range of passing, blasting it straight out of play.

Only if it fits in with the gameplan.

Elyounoussi with two superb tackles already.

Yep, already getting close to write off territory. Can't plan a side with him in it with the amount of injuries he's having.

Lavia off for Elyounoussi...

10 minutes into the second half is very early to be making that many changes, especially when we've actually been competitive in the second half anyway.

Nothing wrong with our performance even in the second half and he makes drastic changes...

"Totally accidental"??? Listen, djenepo made a meal of that but how obviously biased can you be to try and say grealish didn't deliberately body check him there.

Commentator slating the home fans lack of noise, might have something to do to the entire northam being given to away fans mate...

Even diallo is moving the ball well. Is he the deepest midfielder? Lavia seems to be positioned further forward.
