“Shows where our problem lies”- Some Blades fans left stunned by this statistic
Lots of Blades fans have been reacting to some rather remarkable statistics when it comes to the current side.
The club released a graphic yesterday showing our list of top scorers this season, with John Fleck and Lys Mousset holding the distinction of being top of the pile with five goals each.
On one hand, it’s pretty impressive that we’ve managed to get as high in the table as we are right now despite not having that big main 20 goal a season striker on our books. On the other hand, just think where we could be if we did have such a man playing for us. Turning some of those draws into wins, and losses into draws, we’d be challenging Liverpool at this rate.
Is John Fleck our most important player?
Alright maybe not that far, but you get the point.
However, it has provided the Bramall Lane faithful with a little bit of debate to be had whilst they wait for football to return, whenever that may be.
Start taking more chances and we’ll be unplayable👍

There I am! Hope to bag a few more after football starts again. ⚽️😍

It’s good we’re not reliant on too few, but a couple more each from these guys at the right time and we’d be seriously flying. Didzy might have been on the list too, and var hasn’t helped. Billy been great value. Hope moose finds it again. UTB!!

Couple of new strikers we would be even better

You even had a Manchester City fan chiming in with how impressed they were over the statistic
Incredible how they’re challenging for top 4 with stats like this, Wilder manager of the season https://t.co/N6bT3QAKmW

And this kind of touches on my point about David McGoldrick & his goal record this season.
