I'm not being bitter here, I admit, he's a phenom, he is genuinely scary, but some of the goalkeeping and defending against him has been relatively poor. Take the goal against Wolves for e.g.
(a) He doesn't even strike the ball cleanly (b) a Wolves defender blocks the keeper's line of sight.
Little things like that. And it's not just that incident above. Not all his goals, of course; some have been world-class. But I think defenders are standing in awe of him at the moment. Or he just leaves them standing
I'm hoping this is a purple patch because if it isn't, I'm off to see if I have any ancestors born in the Newcastle area.
