So potentially 7 more goals or in other words the same number as Harry Kane who is a 100m plus player.

Not sure why we have to criticise someone for being offside when playing up front in a two with someone like Barnes. We have done better this season going forward than any other year in the prem so we should start moaning about offsides....really!

If anything needs moaning about this season it should be defensively where I suspect the number of blocks etc is far reduced from last season and where we have digressed. We certainly haven’t digressed up front. We have scored 9 more goals and conceded 29 more....

Fat lot of good this is once VAR exists in the PL. Either be onside or dont bother...

Incredibly, he is 55th in the entire PL history- over 20 years worth. And Dyche hasn't been telling him to sit just beyond the shoulder for all his career has he...

It is a good ploy, to get defenders thinking at set pieces. However, you do have to get back onside!

Going for crosses, Darting runs, no issue - strikers have to anticipate.
