Bollocks. We were taking too many touches and making too many passes, it’s as simple as that. Players have lost all confidence, they are hesitant to shoot when given the chance.
We need to buy an experienced striker in January who knows where the goal is. Ideally one that isn’t prone to injury too. I have said this so many times that I sound like a broken record but we still haven’t done it!
Our season so far…
10th place, 26 points from 18 matches
2 points behind Manchester City
3 points behind fifth-place Newcastle United, likely a Champions League spot
3 points ahead of Tottenham
4 points ahead of Manchester United
We are having a bad spell, all teams have bad spells even...
Pedro plays too deep, why is he dropping back into midfield positions? I don’t understand. He is meant to be the striker of the team, the frontline, yet I never see him in the box. He was terrible today!
Time, time and time again we cannot score. We don’t have a clinical striker without Welbeck, no one has the confidence in front of goal. Buy an experienced striker in January urgently!
Lacking the confidence to score a goal at the moment. The fact that Brentford are the only team to have put the ball in the net speaks volumes about our lack of attacking threat.
He is trying too hard to score a goal. It seems like he is wanting to prove a point whilst he has this rare opportunity but it isn’t working him out for him at the moment.
Agreed. Injuries have really affected us, Ferguson, Enciso, Lamptey… they were never the same after their injuries. I worry that March will also fall in the same category.
I miss Undav. He was the perfect backup option for Welbeck, was a proper striker and could score a few goals.
We should’ve kept him and loaned out Ferguson at the time in my opinion. Pedro is a great player but not really a 9 I think, more like a 10 or a 9.5 (9/10). Same goes for Georginio...
