Andy Campbell Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) Just thought I'd point something out in 15 games he has scored 5 goals (i know not great) whilst at the same time contributed 11 assists. So for all you yak bashers you need to understand he has been involved in 16 goals this season after just playing 15 games. also 5 of these games have been sub appearances. thanks Edited April 27, 2010 by Andy Campbell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Cahill has been playing deeper for the most part for the past month at least. Being a workhorse is part of Cahill's game, it's what makes him the player he is. But Yak's game is to hold up the ball, bring others into play, and score goals. Why try and change his game when he's effective enough as is he is? We've ruined enough strikers in recent times by trying to change their games, I'd hate the Yak to be another victim of this. He's not a kid that you can still mould into what you want, his game is set and Moyes bought him because his game is quality. I can see what your saying but nobody wants to turn him into another AJ though. I would be perfectly happy if he got back to the way he was playing in his first season for us. That was undoubtedly the hardest he has ever worked and low and behold he was rewarded with his best goals tally! To be fair he is showing a few glimpses of getting back to that form.

Last time i looked Fabregas and Lampard were leading the "Assists league" with 13 each for the whole season. Yakubu was'nt shown at all.

Andy Campbell Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 i'm trying to think of these assists to be honest i remember the one against hull for arteta with the cross and the one for cahill against blackburn after that i'm struggling there was one for Pienaar against Burnley,i cant remember any more :S if he wins a penalty does it count as an assist?

MikeO Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 In the Telegraph Fantasy Football he has a total of 62 points. Five goals@5 = 25. Eight games started@2 = 16. Fourteen subs@1 = 14. One yellow card = -2. 53 total. Assists are worth three so that gives him three...they use OPTA (but I'm not sure about the winning a penalty question). That's league and FA Cup only. He's appeared in another ten, six starts and four as sub, in the league and Europa so I don't know about assists in those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
