Strikers love to score goals. Strikers job is to score goals. But is it everthing ? Or can a complete striker *minus the goal scoring record* be called world class based on his all around game despite not scoring alot of goals ?
I was wondering about that since andy Johnson scored at the other weekend. Im not calling him world class but I rate him highly and I was surprised by the amount of criticism he got for not scoring for too long. He's got more to his game than just scoring and based on the results everton has been getting since last season, he's doing a good job.
Im not talking about the Wayne Rooneys here , Im talking about strikers like Dirk Kuyt and Fernando Torres. Can they make it big / be called world class based on what they add to the team rather than their goal scoring record ?
