Yesterday no. In general we are creating more than enough. It’s not wrong to say he’s out of form. It is only form, it’s not permanent, but he’s out of it.We're just not supplying him at all. Our attacking play is so slow that we have hardly any supply, any time he does make a run we turn around and pass the ball backwards.
Another outed himselfHe’s got no class that’s the problem. He’s a flat track bully who scores easy on a plate goals or not at all while also doing absolutely nothing else for the team
Or even just start the Argentinian World Cup winning #9 who can score goals out of nowhere from all kinds of ranges and angles as well as brining other players into the game, the focal point.
Kev’s absence is definitely a big factor, but as you say it shouldn’t be the overriding one.I didnt think we'd be going backwards where he is concerned.When he arrived we struggled to adapt from the false nine way of play and so continued to ignore his movement and his positioning,it now seems we have reverted to that issue.
Haaland is clearly not operating in full throttle because of such,he also looks to have gone in to his shell a tad and centre halves are getting the better of him too often.
Pep needs to find a way of finding the cohesion and the fluidity in the final 3rd again,this safe passing,backwards/sideways,shite should be a thing of the past.
Kev's absence is a big factor,but it should not be the overriding one.
If, what you are suggesting is correct, then it's going to be January at the earliest before Kev is fit to return. Pep need to find a solution to get Haaland firing again well before then.He is missing KDB more than anyone, no one else plays those through balls for him
We can’t play to his strengths because most teams sit so deepPlay to his strengths and he'll bag a bucket full, play like we have been doing and you get nothing.
