Fridrihsbergs Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Just looking for some advice her really.... I have a young (21 years old) striker with classic Striker stats; finishing, pace, heading, creativity etc. all very high. I'm Arsenal and in the cup he has scored 10 goals in 7, in continental football he's got 6 in 5 but in the league he's only got 6 goals in 16. This trend has been going on for the last few seasons that he has been in the first team (despite playing 20+ games per season his highest goal tally in the league is 8). I don't change my tactics between league and cup games and (except in the early stages obvioulsy) they aren't really easier games so I can't think of a reason that his otherwise excellent form deserts him in the league. Any ideas or suggestion on how to jelp him would be much appreciated. (pwease) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I suspect he'll either be a "Big Match" player (check the coach report) or the quality of opposition is higher in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridrihsbergs Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 a "Big Match" player Yeah the international report says he favours the big matches so I suppose the do or die cup games. hows his fitness................might be week in week out is too big an ask Like I say he's only 21 so I'm not playing him week in week out yet anyway. He gets rested in cup games as much as in league games though so I@m not sure how much impact it would have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
