I haven't discounted them.I have praised them .I merely highlighted the aforementioned centre midfield players who other than Edwards and Tex with his early 2 and Saville have not provided any which you need when your decent scorers don't manage to.But you can't not count Cav and Costa because it doesn't suit your argument, they are midfielders who play with freedom because of the donkey work done by Price, and previously Coady/Saville and more recently Edwards as he has dropped deeper. Hopefully they will pop up with a few goals still but the burden of goal scoring doesn't and shouldn't lie with them.
Edwards was smashing goals in weekly until has played in a deeper role but him dropping deeper has benefited the play of the whole team making us look a lot more resolute.
A few goals from our Centre Halves wouldn't go a miss granted, but I would hazard a guess that the return of goals from our strikers is the lowest in the league if not all the football leagues, surely that is where the problem now lies?
Yes our output from the main strikers is pathetic beyond belief.
