Babel has scored more than 10 in his debut season but nani has only 2! simply too less. just imagine if ronaldo wasnt in such great form this season we'd be out of all competitions by now. and yea i am more than happy with rooneys and tevezs contribution so far. agree to what redd75 says. its the midfield who have to score more! this season it has been a draught as far as giggs, scholes, carrick, anderson (has he ever scored a goal in his life???), nani and OH.

This is a team game, after all. Goals don't come about just because we stick a good striker there. They come because a team defends well, keeps possession, creates chances and goals usually come as the end-result. Likewise, Rooney and Tevez's contribution shouldn't just be measured by goals alone, but rather their contribution to the overall attack. Both Rooney and Tevez have scored 19 goals in the EPL, plus 15 assists, which means contribution to a total of 34 goals out of 58 - almost 60%! If that's not good enough then I don't know what is. The problem I believe is more the fact that our other midfielders, apart from Ronaldo, are not scoring enough. I would actually like to see Scholes, Anderson, Carrick, Hargreaves, Giggs, Fletcher and Park chip in with more goals and give us a more varied attacking threat, rather than relying on Rooney, Tevez and Ronaldo alone to produce the goods.
