Aussies abroad šŸŒšŸ¦˜

Alex Robertson started and played 62 minutes for Cardiff City in their 1-0 League One win over Port Vale before being subbed off. Joe Gauci played the entirety of the match for Port Vale in goal, with the result meaning that Port Vale are relegated from League One and will be playing in League Two next season.
He’ll be out of there as soon as possible. If he plays in League Two then I can’t see him getting a Socceroos cap over Ashley Maynard-Brewer.
 
After seeing the Toure goals this morning it struck me as the first one where he has done a lot of the work with a very good finish. From memory the rest have been more right time, right place opportunities he has taken. So is this sustainable for him?

His career breakdown (FOTMOB)

This start at Norwich so far is a pretty huge outlier.

His strengths remain getting shots off inside the box and getting touches in the box. It seems like the quality of those shots, number of shots and his conversion have increased remarkably. I read on social media Norwich setup in such as way that their centre forward will end up with a lot of opportunities. I don't know if that is actually true but it seems reasonable.

It would be extraordinary if he continued at anything close to this rate. I hope the come down lands him back somewhere above his Randers production, maybe a goal involvement every 180 minutes or so (20 goal per year striker). This would be fantastic for us moving forward for the next decade. I suspect teams will have already started planning for him specifically now and he will need to adjust to this. My preference would be for him to stay at Norwich, if he can maintain a good level of form they will likely challenge to be promoted next year.

Quite a low ranking defensively and in duels surprisingly. Maybe due to the role he is being asked to play?

Chatgpt is fucking useless at making these graphics. Constantly just making up data points. I think I have got them correct now.

To his credit Irankunda according to Watford fans seems to be the only one player trying his best.

Hope the lad isn't getting into arguments with his teammates behind closed doors lmao. Can see him getting very frustrated with them.
Apparently got into an argument with fans after a match a few weeks back.
