Can someone explain to me why can't bentnar produces his international display to club level?
Who knows, hes an enigma thats for sure
First year at Arsenal 7 starts, 5 goals 3 assists in the league, champs league 4 starts, 3 goals, 1 assist. FA cup, 2 starts, 1 goal.
Second year 17 starts, 9 goals, 2 assists, UCL 4 starts 1 goal, FA cup 3 starts, 2 goals, 1 assist, Carling cup, 2 starts, 2 goals 1 assist.
Third year, 13 starts, 6 goals, 5 assists, UCL 5 starts, 5 goals 1 assist, CC 1 start 1 goal.
4th year, 3 starts 2 goals, 1 assist, UCL 2 starts, nadda, CC 4 starts, 3 goals, FA cup 5 starts 3 goals, 4 assists.
Last year at a **** sunderland team, 25 starts, 8 goals, 5 assists.
Can someone point out the **** season he's had... His lack of goals comes from nothing less than lack of games. He spent probably 10 games total at Arsenal playing his prefered position of withdrawn striker. Yet he's got goals, crucial goals, frequently winning goals, and winning assists, and scored and set up goals against Barca.
Here's a hint, he's not a lone striker just because he's big, he's not a winger, yet played as both he's still provided goals and assists. he's a lump, he looks clumsy, he's strong and surprisingly fast. He's rarely played consistent games together and yet still has one of the best scoring records at Arsenal, he has always scored more and played better when given a run of games.
He's not the worlds best player, he is a very good player, he's a very effective player, and he works damn hard which is a lot more than can be said for other Arsenal players.
His best season was the 5 goals 5 UCL games year, RVP was injured and he got to play half from Feb till end of April basically first team the one and only proper run at Arsenal. He scored a hattrick against Porto, an assist and a goal against Barca. 9 goals, 5 assists in 15 games which he played in a row(while only being a sub in 2 of them). After which he was all but entirely dropped for the next season with only 3 starts.
