Che Adams doesn’t need me or anyone else telling him he should score more goals in the Premier League.
But while it’s easy for us to criticize from the sidelines, he has to deal with it mentally, knowing that an entire fan base, his teammates, the media and a city are screaming, “How did you not score at Wolves?” or similar.
He has to dust himself off and then, often as a lone striker, put in a new shift, which he does tirelessly game after game.
Conversely, how many people would commend him for his key role in James Ward-Prowse’s two goals at Everton last Saturday? The stats don’t always tell the story of the shift he puts in for the team.
I’ve seen him grow over a few years as a young man and his demeanor now has a quiet confidence which I attribute to his achievements for Scotland since his call-up. He’s a good, honest boy who gives his all in every game.
It was great talking to him about dealing with misses, the desperate desire to score at home against Aston Villa (he will always be a ‘blue nose’ to their fans) and what happened in the dressing room to turn things around after the Saints hit rock bottom against Forest.
