  1. I’m a glass half full kinda guy. We scored 4 v them in the 2nd last time we met (only 3 were allowed) and nearly came away with a point having played 20+ mins with 10 men at Parkhead.

    No reason why we can’t beat them by 2 goals. We’ll then be level on points and goal behind on GD. Beat them by 3 and we’re ahead on GD.

    Lets get into these fuckers from the first whistle.

    So why say 20 when it’s a conversation about the league?  
    and not mention the fact those horrendous misses makes the “goal difference” very important.  
     

    My point is clear. He’s not scored enough league goals and the easy chances he missed means we might lose the league on goal difference. 
     

    it’s not hard to understand.  
     

    (please nobody else quote other players in the league I’m not fucking interested). 

    1.

    Because he's scored 20 goals this season! Never EVER have i heard anyone say 'yes! we've signed '20 goal+ in the league' striker. Its common parlance to refer to a striker by the total goals they score per season and not break it down into competitions. Most folk have enough about them to work that bit out for themselves, as you have just done.

    Its been stated to death on here how much he's scored in the league (which to reiterate yet again is equivalent to 1 goal every game and a half when you account for actual minutes played: and its all minus penalty duties) If Dessers was on penalites and only had a 66% conversion rate he'd be on 30 goals this season with 5 games to go. Would you still be complaining about his contribution?

    2.

    It’s not that clear cut tho’ as you talk about goals scored but it’s not just about goals scored, is it?

    It’s goal difference. Unless of course GD is tied (which I don’t think has ever happened in Scotland and only 4 times in England(last time was 60 years ago)

    If we hadn’t conceded 5 goals v Ross County and Dundee we’d be level on goal difference so it’s all relevant.

    Yes, Dessers could have scored more goals as could Danilo, Lovelace, Sima, Wright, Lammers, Roofe, Lawrence and everyone else bar Tav: every single striker in the world COULD/SHOULD have scored more goals. Just as we COULD/SHOULD have conceded less. Goals scored AND goals conceded. That’s how GD works

    The added bonus, had we not leaked goals against the dross, we wouldn’t even be taking about GD/GS.

    Being honest, I’m not convinced Dessers scoring v Ross County and Dundee would necessarily have altered the course of events given our teams defensive ability to shit a leak when the pressure’s on.

    Those midfield stats are horrendous.

    Yep. Fucking ridiculous that between 6 midfielders they’ve scored 11 goals and 2 of them are from the new guy just in the door!

    Probably because since he hit 20, the narrative has changed from goals to league goals. 20 goals is decent, so harder to greet about. But 14 league goals isn’t so good, so we can go back to our default position, and blame him.

    Dessers, to date, has outscored every celtic player in the SPFL whilst Matt O'Riley has scored 2 more goals than our entire midfield combined in the SPFL this season.

    Cantwell 5, Lundstram 0, Diomande 2, Lawrence 1, Sterling 0, Dowell 2, Jack 1.... O'Riley 13!

    14. He’s scored 14.  Not 20
     

    14 that’s all.  When will people realise this 

     

    Folk do realise this. Pretty much everyone knows he's scored 14 int the SPFL. That's a goal every 140 mins in the league.

    Can't agree that our defence is the main reason we aren't ahead. They've lost three more goals than us. They've scored eight more. Our problem's that we haven't scored enough goals.

    So the fact we've gifted goals (most recently) to celtic, Motherwell, Ross County and Dundee isn't the reason we aren't top of the league then, its just a coincidence, and it's mainly down to our only fit 20* goal centre forward?

    I don't disagree we haven't scored enough goals (and i acknowledge you didn't specifically mention Dessers in your reply) but thats down to the team, and specifically the midfield, not Dessers per se.

    No sense arguing with you because you blindly love the guy, so I’ll go with your summary. One bad miss in a game that we desperately needed a win in and that has fucked our advantage, and a miss nobody was surprised he made 

    don't love him: he's frustrating as fuck and i can see why folk cant stand him. I just tend to view things more objectively. he's won us more games than he's cost us. its our defence that is the main reason we aren't streets ahead. that and a never ending list of injuries. Thats whats fucked us this season not Dessers making a cunt of a couple of opportunities that have come his way.

    County in the first half he had an opportunity to put us 2 up but blazed it over the bar. He also had a chance with only the keeper to beat but I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt as their keeper saved that shot 

    Motherwell at home which we lost he had a couple of decent chances aswell, he had one from point blank range and put it right against their defender 

    Seem to remember games against the likes of Killie at home where we won despite his misses because goals came from elsewhere 

    Hope some of that helps 

    The Motherwell game where Kelly had a stormer in goals for them, Souttar completely fucked it for the first, Tav failed to clear for their 2nd, and Silva missed a gilt edged chance?
    As for point blank, it ricocheted back to Dessers, who was getting back on his feet at the time and had to control and hit the ball on the turn from 1 yard out with the keeper and defender right in front of him. Hardly a glaring miss. 

    So in summary, one bad miss v County, and some other chances that didn’t impact on results?

    All his misses -  especially when we might lose this league on goal difference 

    How many times have you watched a match and said “for fuck sake Dessers” - it’s those ones. 

    Quite often so i I don’t disagree with the statement on bold.

    My post was in relation to another member stating the ‘importance of some’ of the ones he’s missed.
    You could equally argue the importance of the ones he’s scored, without which, GD wouldn’t even be coming into it.

    I agree with you about not enough goals from all the other players but the main issue with Dessers misses is the importance of some of them. 

    Which ‘important’ ones has he missed?

    The old Firm when he was one on one with Hart springs to mind.

    What other important misses have altered results?

    Dessers has scored the only goal or defining goal in 3 league games this season so is directly responsible for 3 wins.

    How many dropped points is he culpable for as a result of his poor finishing?

    This is the difference between a striker taking the majority of his chances and one who fucked up at the crucial time too many times 

     

    OR the difference is ‘having all your wingers and other attacking options injured or shit meaning  you are relying on one guy scoring all the goals (2 guys if you include Tav).’

    incidentally, there isn’t a striker in the world who scores the majority of their chances.

    Tavernier has scored 15 penalties this season and missed 4. Can you imagine Dessers sitting on 35 goals right now considering the sitters he has missed and the fact that there was a spell when Danillo was fit and Dessers wasn't starting? 😂😂😂

    I like him a lot as he never gives up but it is a bit of a mind fuck watching him play as he looks like he's never seen a football on occasions yet is capable of scoring goals nobody seen coming, gives the defenders a hard time and wins a fair amount of duels leaving him bearing in on goal yet can seem pretty weak at times, looks fast as fuck but can also look like he's running in treacle.

    Bottom line he's scored 20 goals so far in his first season amid all the shite that went on with Beale and having had some piss poor service a lot of the time

    Misses some chances, but it's hard to argue with 20 goals and counting. Var has also fucked his tally. We've got far bigger problems than Dessers in the team.

    Not the penalty taker either. 
    Would easily be 25-30 this season if he took the spot kicks.

    Shite tho’ 😜

    I’d still be gutted to see Tav go. He’d be near impossible to replace in terms of output, but… he’s wrong side of 30 and Saudi means £10m + is achievable. Goldson for me had been on the decline for a few years now, also wrong side of 30, so would defo let him go. 
    That said, I don’t believe this ‘story’

    We ain’t getting 10m+ for Tav.
    Not even from the Saudi’s
    Not a chance in hell.

    Fuck knows then. I've looked at both sites and the main descrepancy seems to be the number of shots taken so no idea which one to trust. 

    I work on the principle they are broadly on the right lines. As long as any comparison I make is from the same site I guess it’s reasonably safe to assume they are comparable.

  16. 1 minute ago, KeyserSoze said:

    It’s not- it’s still +2 and if it comes down to goal difference goals against count. 

    Still better scoring 3 and conceding one as it would go  to goals scored if goal difference and head to head  happened to be level.

    Thought I would check out the stats and in the league Dessers has the most shots per 90 minutes and the most shots on target per 90 minutes, the latter being really surprising. His conversion rate is 15% which is identical to Shankland. Miovski has a 12% conversion rate.

    The completely made up donkey player with the 2 in 10 is smashing it up with his 20% conversion rate 😂

    He’s got a 20% conversion rate in the league. Shankland’s is 23.3%
