but JR saying many great goals are like that. When a striker rifles it in to the top corner, he's not aiming exactly for the top corner, he's just trying to hammer it roughly in that direction. It's basically luck whether it goes in, hits the bar or just goes a bit lower and is tipped over by the keeper.

Bit of a shock to hear him talking sense. He also likes Olly, as I do, which is unusual in the English media. Most love to slag him off as a way of getting at AW for not having bought a top drawer striker.

As JR says, having Alexis as the main striker with Olly as the no.2 who can play as cover and come off the bench to get us the winner is probably the best solutions we could have hoped for.

Anyway, great start to the new year.
