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.
Fine margins, innit.

No-one has a problem with Kai. Not really. If anything it's the backup, the bench; the cavalry, the kitchen sink that's exercising everyone. For awhile now we've played like a side whose superstar striker is a long-term absentee, for whatever reason (one or more of the usual; booze, birds, betting, biryani) and we've held the fort gallantly awaiting his return. Explains why we haven't bought "another" one and also why we sometimes seem to stutter.

All told, we're doing fantastically well.
