It's hard not to feel vindicated and gloat when so many dissed Eddie for so long. Those of us who looked at the stats were always sure there was a player there. His goals-per-minute figure and record when he started matches for Arsenal were always elite - people were just ignoring the evidence and concentrating too much on sub appearances and misses. Eddie's game has never been so much as being super clinical and finishing off the single chance that comes to him. It's been about movement being in the right place so getting several quality chances and finishing some -and how many goals do you need in a game to make a difference? So the misses were never as bad as they seemed. All strikers miss chances, even Haaland and Kane too.
Ironically since his dramatic debut in the Carabao cup (when he got two goals against Norwich) Eddie has never seemed to shine from the bench and that is one thing he needs to get better at. Perhaps now he is better integrated with the first team he can be seamlessly rotated with Jesus. Or there can be other attacking combinations with him Martinelli, Trossard Saka And ESR. Promising times ahead.
