Chicharito’s Impact Thus Far

Since I posed the question in one of the posts yesterday, I was curious to determine how much of an impact Chicharito has had in terms of points won so far this season.

For instance, in the game against Stoke on Jan 4th that we won 2-1, he recorded a goal and an assist. I credit him with earning us the 3 points since his goal would have at least earned us a point while his assist got us another goal and thus, all 3 points. Read more..
