The forecast has dropped mainly due to our EL run ending (i.e. 5 fewer potential fixtures), but Son's injury is also a factor.

So we need 15 in 10 ffs

Let's hope Son gets back on the pitch quick because Kane isn't getting that on his own and Bale I think isn't going to play much now.

Kane and Son scored 19 in our opening 10 games of the season. Maybe we can put 6 past Man Utd again next month haha!

Also, Bale has a habit of scoring in cup finals, so perhaps he'll make a contribution against Man City. ?

@Shadydan Only one of the three started on Sunday, but "they" still exceeded the 1.5 goals per game needed to stay on track.

Played 50
Scored 57

Current forecast of 67.3 goals - up from 66.2 since my last post.

13 in 9, pretty sure they can do it.

How we haven't seen more of this trio is criminal. If Bale returns to Madrid in the summer then this was a massive wasted opportunity.

He'll probably be thrown on in the 81st minute when we're already 3 nil down.

Like if they'd had a run of four or five games and it clearly wasn't working then fair enough. We've barely seen it though which is incredibly fucking frustrating.

We've not seen the front 3 almost everyone wants and we've not seen the midfield three.

Say, for a moment, the problem was the team. Like there was literally nothing that Mou has done wrong and it's all the fault of the side. No one will fucking believe it because we've never ever given our best side a run of games together.

Kane and Bale were linking so well, Son was off form for a bit but it didn't matter with those 2
It was nice having another player on Kanes mindset while it lasted though

Yeah but then Bale went and singlehanded lost us the derby by punching Doherty in the face every time the poor lamb dared try to defend. In fact, as I remember it Bale actually tried to foul Lamela to stop him scoring the goal that put us ahead, then proceeded to play in Arsenal players at every opportunity till they equaliser. The rest of our side all actually played 10/10s but Bale in his mission to cost us the game ensure that there was only ever going to be one winner, and it wouldn’t be us.

Still can’t get over him charging off the bench after he’d been subbed off and rugby tackling Tierney in the face while in disguise as Lamela’s elbow.

Uniteds defence is just as bad as ours and this front 3 would cause them a lot of problems. Hopefully jose feels the same, doubt it though.

United play in Spain tomorrow, we could definitely score a couple of goals if we have a proper go at them. And hopefully not concede more than 1.
