There have been plenty of good strikers with these attributes. Jimmy Greaves, Kevin Phillips, Tony Cottee for starters. Supply the ball into the box and watch them perform.
Our problem is lack of overlaps and support in wide areas, which should be provided by full backs who can get up and down. Only Olise looks like a player who is natural to wing play, and a lot of our play goes through the centre. Perhaps Hodgson is harkening back to Alf Ramsey's wingless wonders as a tactical strategy.

It was a good goal and he showed presence of mind. He had one other chance - which he should have got. However, he did nothing basically for the whole match. The reason fans are pissed off with him is exactly that. He's the epitome of a luxury player. But, yes, more useful than Benteke - anyone is.
The other thing he needs to do is look across the line and time his runs. He could have scored a hat full of goals if he wasn't, completely avoidably, offside all season. Again, looks incredibly lazy to the fans.

Red and Blue Army!

With the lack of chances created by our anaemic and defence minded midfield even Haaland would struggle - and he has missed some sitters.

Edouard has talent but until we address the supply problem you can't blame him - perhaps you would prefer Mateta to have a starting place?

Edouard is reported to be in West Ham's sights and if he goes we may see how good (or not) he is.

Is the correct answer.

One more point

His goals are better than his expected goals and being an average premier league striker is bad. Got it.

The man is on course* for about 15 goals in a team without its two main chance creators, he's better for goals V xG than Haaland, Watkins and Isak, among others, this season.

Outside of goalscoring, at which he's rather good, Haaland is fairly average. But I'd still take him :-)

And critically, Edouard's playing in a team that hasn't had its two main creative outlets -- and has played super defensively with a low block -- all season.

Strikers are judged first on goals, and on that simple metric the data you selected say he's above average.

I accept he lacks a bit as an all round player. But he's doing well this season on metric number 1.

I will also accept I misrepresented you a bit, but the thrust of your comments is, for me, wrong.

*I don't say he'll keep up his scoring rate but who knows. Maybe he'll even improve it with Eze and Olise both playing
