Don't get the ball to him quickly enough and every team now sits that deep he can't play on the shoulder. They're happy for him to come short because his touch is rather poor. For somebody with his physical attributes he should be much better at holding the ball up.

That said; despite all our possession the ball is very rarely in the box and when it is he's often isolated by himself. He thrives off first time crosses but they've either all been instructed to keep the ball at all costs or none of them back themselves to put a decent ball in. Passing it around the 18 yard box until we misplace a pass and the opposition breaks is one of my biggest bugbears.

We need to find a way to get him in the game. The service to him was shite today. Playing Kovacic really impacted us going forward. We were too easy to defend against.
 
Didn't look any better without Kova.
I thought we did actually. Doku was involved and we started to put a bit of pressure on. Grealish wasn’t involved much though. We didn’t look like conceding without him either but that’s not always been the case this season.
