    Was all that 27 games in the first half of the season?

    Clearly not!
    How do you want to define the first half?
    After 19 games wfc played or after half of his appearances?

    Just checked and there is only 1 game difference however you want to define the middle of the season.
    In wfc's first 19 games in PL King played in 17, scoring in 3. I do not see how this can be described as good for a center forward.

    Yeah, he isn't clinical in front of goal, but he does try to create chances for others to score and has good movement that sometimes help free up some chances for Dennis to score. And above all, his hold up play was important to our pattern of play.
    I only got disappointed with him in the second half of the season not because he wasn't scoring goals, but because like Pedro became selfish and was making all the wrong decisions in the box like trying to shoot from a difficult position rather than pass to someone else who is in a better position to score. It so annoying especially when it kept on happening in those games where we are already a goal up and needed more goals to secure points.

    Don't forget, in that period he also gradually decided to carry out his own Troy Deeney tribute act by stopping bothering to make runs/carry out movement, even when we were attacking, at points, and could often be seen lazily not really bothering to get back and help our already shambolic defence at all. Might seem a redundant statement at this point in the game's evolution, but what he said after that Everton game and hat-trick was, in the end, rather revealing. He is a player entirely out for his own aggrandisement (on the pitch) and if he's not managing that, it's all a bit pointless to him.

    It’s almost as if agreeing with a player that he can walk away for free if we’re relegated diminishes his motivation come the end of the season when we’re right in the s***. More great business there.

    Nope:

    "But when units of time are expressed in a countable way, use fewer:
    • It would be nice to spend fewer minutes cleaning and more reading.
    • Fewer hours working and more having fun sounds great.
    • I’ll be gone for fewer days than last time."

    This is a football forum. Using right grammer is fewer important than the quality of the actual points being maid.

    No definitely gone. Nobody should translate Norsk directly to English because it comes across very harsh.

    I remember Haaland got a bit of attention for his very short and to the point manner in interviews during lockdown, so I have no doubt that Norwegian is a very 'blunt' language! Still, I have no enthusiasm for Josh King after the season he's just had...

    Many congratulations to Josh. Reasons abound why he is a true champion who deserves a great career - modesty, honesty, dedication and the true pleasure and honour, for all of us who love sport, of sharing time with this talented and worthy player.

    Blessings.
