We will continue to disagree.
You feel the players are the problem and I think the system is the bigger problem.
We can have xG wars all we like, Bruno was actually very prolific, a few season ago, along with Rashford. So you feel they have forgotten to finish.
We dont create enough chances for our players on a consistent basis. I think with a better coached system, we score alot more goals, I know you disagree with this but that is my opinion.
The players are clearly part of the problem. Rashford's best goal return is 17 goals, which isn't really that impressive. The rest of our attackers have never even hit double figures. Fernandes' numbers have always been boosted by penalties. Scoring 18 goals four seasons ago is neither here nor there for me. Charlie Austin once scored 18 for a QPR side that finished bottom of the table.
None of this to say that I don't also think a better system will help, because obviously it will, but based on what we've seen so far from the players at our disposal, a better system is only going to get us so far without the players also stepping up.
Again, I also literally just pointed out that bottom half teams do have players capable of scoring 10+ goals.
