Paul Onuachu Keeps Falling Short of His Former Form

In Week 11 of the Trendyol Süper Lig, Trabzonspor beat Alanyaspor 2-0 away from home, with the goals coming from Pina and Salah. The team's main striker, Paul Onuachu, failed to make the most of his chances and continued to fall short of his former form.

The Nigerian player scored 7 goals and provided 1 assist in the first 9 matches of the 2023-2024 season, when he wore the shirt on loan. He produced the same level of performance at Trabzonspor last season, after arriving on a permanent transfer, with 7 goals and 1 assist. This season, however, he has not scored in matches against Kasımpaşa, Başakşehir, Amed SK, Konyaspor, Galatasaray, Samsunspor, Gaziantep FK and Alanyaspor. In the 9 matches he has played for the club this season, his 2 goals came in the match against Gençlerbirliği. When the first 9 matches of the two seasons are compared, the drop in goals stands out.

After the international break in the Trendyol Süper Lig, Onuachu is expected to lift his performance at Trabzonspor. The experienced forward wants to end his goal drought and contribute to the team's scoring in the rest of the league. The coaching staff and fans hope his identity as a goalscorer will come to the fore again.
