Trent ahead on most except for win backs in the opposition half, however, as we play means the channel between LB and LCB is almost always closed for Trent so he doesn't get the same amount of opportunities to score or get in positions to as Robbo, there are quite a few games in which Robbo has at least 1 and often 2 good opportunities because on his side the channel between RB and RCB is usually open and opportunities he could create himself with a great touch out of feet and sudden burst of acceleration to get himself in those positions also. When he's in these positions he needs to assume the role of a forward and start burying it, he mostly looks a little like he doesn't know what to do, when he's incredibly decisive everywhere else on the pitch and then belatedly looks for someone to square the ball to, but those lines are normally always blocked.
A certain amount of football is down to percentages, when he finds himself in those positions a low drive absolutely smashed for the bottom right hand corner will almost certainly bring us more goals, Robbo will either beat the keeper, or the keeper will save and it will fall for Salah or Bobby to fire home, especially if Robbo shapes as though he's going near post bottom or top corner and adjusts his technique at the last split second to smash it low into the far bottom right corner.
