Desperation mate. Just looking at any change, this shit cant continue.I'm actually not giving him an easy time, he should be doing far better, but come on, as if dropping the only guy who knows what a goal is will help anything.
He’s gone from an all conquering steam train to a lonely garden centre dawdler.
It’s like somebody’s taken the fight out of him and he’s not even arsed about getting it back.
Gets bullied by every centre back he plays against. Big, small, weak, strong - they’re all strong when it comes to him. Lazy fucker. Needs to sort himself out.
Spends 90% of the game with his head down, 9% at the back post and the other 1% walking back from offside positions when the team is trying to attack.

Great striker but still a bit overrated. His workrate, reading of his teammates, reaction time, and off the ball instinct in small spaces are far from elite.

He’s supposed to be one of our most strong players. I don’t understand why he hardly wins duels against most centre backs? Harry fucking maguire and that midget?
If you are a striker playing for a team fighting to be the best in Europe, you cannot expect solely to rely on service.
The very best forwards have the ability to create goals for themselves, especially in the big games.
Sergio took the game by the scuff on many occasions, winning us games out of nothing. Lewandowski can do it, Benzema did it, Zlatan did it and Suarez did it.

Needs to give the team more when he doesn't score, but I don't think it's in his game.
Don't know how to address him but shoe-horning a player of his style into a team that plays the way we like to play is an elephant in the room.

Sell him to Madrid, or sign the players to maximise his potential. His first touch is as bad as Eden. But he's way faster. We need proper quality full backs that actually try to, or are capable of overlapping at pace.
We used to have a style that provided a scoring threat from all over the team. Raheem, FFS, Leroy and Jesus have all gone. Kyle is now older and we have no left back. The defence used to start at the front. The press isn't there a peak Sergio (if fit!), would have had a field day today. If he are serious about keeping Erling then we need fresh legs, legs with speed and quality.
