Well just because they have an even lower goals to game ratio, doesn't mean his is great..
I just mean that if you were looking at Norwich, who scored only 49 goals in 42 games last season, sold 27 of those goals leaving them with an attacking midfield 3 who combined for 1 goal last season (Stiepermann), and brought in a player who had managed a goal every 3 games in his career and expected those four to combine for 24 in the first 28 games I'd have said you were mad.
Correction - actually we actually went into this season without the scorers of 34 of the 49 goals - Maddison, Oliveira, Murphy, Pritchard, Jerome, Hoolahan, Wildschut, Reed.
I am sure you understand that I am not knocking Pukki, but rather pointing out how absolutely brilliantly Webber and Farke have done in identifying and bringing in players like Pukki and Buendia, and Farke and his team have done in developing the system and players when you see the improvement on both an individual and overall level since last season. It's not like we are better because we went out and spent 25m on a 30-goals a season international.
