I was bored and had a lot of time on my hands so thought I'd analyse the stats of our attacking partnerships/formations as accurately as I could in terms of goals scored, including matches where VDV has been played behind a striker.
I have added up the number of goals we've scored as a whole team in all matches this season under different strike partnerships/formations, excluding those partnerships/formations that were never played for more than 90 minutes. Although this is never going to paint the full picture of how effective each attacking option is as it doesn't take into account the opposition or which players were playing behind the strikers, it makes for fairly interesting, if not too unpredictable, reading.
Leading the way is the Pav + Crouch partnership, with 16 goals being scored in 415 minutes of them playing together. That equates to 1 goal every 25.94 minutes.
Next is Defoe + Pav with 10 goals in 360 minutes. 1 goal every 36 minutes.
The rest are as follows:
Keane + Pav = 2 goals in 100 mins. 1 goal every 50 mins.
Defoe + Crouch = 10 goals in 509 mins. 1 goal every 50.9 mins.
Crouch alone(without VDV, Pav, Defoe and Keane) = 5 goals in 283 mins. 1 goal every 56.6 mins.
Pav + VDV = 6 goals in 396 mins. 1 goal every 66 mins.
Crouch + VDV = 7 goals in 561 mins. 1 goal every 80.14 mins.
Defoe + VDV = 2 goals in 191 mins. 1 goal every 95.5 mins.
And finally the partnership which has looked the least effective so far is Crouch + Keane which has created no goals in 161 minutes.
So there we have it, the 3 most effective partnerships all have Pav in them. Pav is also looking to be the best striker to play with VDV on the team too.
Any objections to not playing Pav and Crouch up front against Bolton? Let's hope not from Harry.
