@tim-stillman.bsky.social Hi Tim, I'm also a subscriber to the theory about teams with strikers that get the bulk of the goals. Gary Lineker's 42-goal season at Everton was when they finished second in the league and the cup, winning the league the seasons either side

Figo against England at Euro 2000 a prime example - some people went so far as to suggest he played for the deflection
I am militant about deflections - you simply cannot consider a deflected strike a 'great goal'. And therefore I am amazed how much praise Hutchinson is getting for that goal yesterday. I think there's almost no chance - OK let's say 10% - that's going in until the defender nods it in.
