00:00He's not only judged on the goals he scores, he's also judged on the team performance,

00:05and he adds something to the team performance as well with his work rate

00:09and how much he does for us winning the ball back high up on the pitch.

00:13So, yes, I said it before, ideally he has scored a few goals more,

00:19but maybe in a few weeks you will ask me,

00:22yeah, Mo is not scoring any more and Darwin is scoring one goal after another.

00:25It is the life of a No. 9, sometimes you score, sometimes you don't,

00:30but what should be always there is work rate, and I think that's what he had.

00:36Apart from two games, the first one against Las Palmas, I said to him yesterday,

00:40and the last half-hour against Girona wasn't of the standards he should have,

00:45and that had a lot to do with him being disappointed after missing a few chances.
