First headed goal since January 2016

... and it wasn’t even a real header. Austin at Old Trafford? Someone tell the club this appalling stat.

I believe around a third of goals scored are headers. Surely this is a huge reason as to why we don’t score enough goals?

It’s got to be crap service.

All our attacking players are 1.82m or shorter with the exception of Austin (1.88m) who doesn't play. We have no physical presence up front.

didn't VVD score a header against Spurs back in Dec 2016, and also Long scored a header vs Villa in April 2016?

Anyhow, dunno why this comes across as a shock- we are a short team and lost all aerial presence after our 2015-16 season (Fonte, Wanyama, Pelle, Long (when he could jump))

Long scored a header from a corner against WBA on 31 December 2016 - almost a year later than the commentator suggested.

Why was it not a real header?

What about Gabbiadini's 1st at Sunderland.

I got the impression from several posters on here that the problem was the manager fault by not using his head enough.

I, and those posters stand corrected then as It's really because its the players not using their heads enough.
