Nothing has worked for him. Not sharp.
If the captain was sick, he surely won't have been the only one? Do the two of them room together maybe?
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
One header was just wide. One was perfectly on target and headed down low. It was one of those "great saves" where the 'keeper knows f-all about it. That's just bad luck. Big Gabby put a corner wide mid-week which was no better than Kai's first attempt and remember Dec's header from that superb inswinging cross from Young Ethan? {That was the sort of pass B plays all the time. Ethan's also got the swivel and pass in the no.8 role. Just wanna see if he can learn to cut inside and bang it into the far corner when playing RW like B does.}
If the 'keeper doesn't get lucky today making that save with his foot, everyone would have said Kai was great.
I agree. That's the Strikers' Blues. It happens.
The boss said we need our players to provide those special match-winning moments when necessary (rather than needing to buy a special match-winning player).
I suggested Gabriel could do that; yesterday Richy did it. Fairplay.

Agreed. The one he put wide was harder than it looked. He was moving and leaning back, away from the ball and wide of the goal, meaning he needed to get more purchase on the header to send it back. Really difficult. The second was unlucky. Another day it flies in and is termed a 'bullet header'...
Wasn't his best game but the stick he gets is absurd. Like giroud, we seem to constantly focus on what he can't do rather than on the many things he does really well.
14 goals in 31 games, in a side that is misfiring most weeks. Not too shabby.
Agree with all that. And Arseblog said the third header he missed got a tiny deflection of JT and without that he's have probably scored.
Re: our goalscorer. As he's a Ricky C, maybe we should call him Monty?
And Partey might now become Wigwam instead of TP5.
