He hasnt had that many chances to play, and hes on a team thats looking more and more like relegation material to me. Hes doing his part, but theres very little creative talent on that team, and strikers really cant do that much on their own. Still, hes not the best finisher, and really needs to work on consistency in his goal attempts as he develops.

That video was awesome, put a smile on my face. The teacher’s enthusiasm was sick, good to see

Rather, I just thought that it was unfortunate that he is a goal-scoring drought.

However, I don’t think his touch is where it needs to be for him to play that role for any length of time during the World Cup.
