Our attack - what's off?

How many times do our highly paid professionals kick the ball ankle high into a defender a few yards in front of them. Time and time again. Its pathetic technique and alarmingly repetitive. A Kids school team would figure out how to launch the ball better than this bunch.
 
I do feel a bit sorry for Jesus, he’s having to come deep, play wide etc just to get involved - and then sees the best chances fall to others. I don’t know the answer but he needs to be in the end of those crosses not Sterling or Gundogan.
 
He meant the midfield
Good...at least he knows what the issue is then

But its partly due to his selection....

Keep picking two out of the 3 of Rodri Ferna and Gundogan and we will keep seeing the same issues.

I think he has been scared byt eh game where he took ferna off when we wre drawing and we ended up losing (was it leeds?)

The issue are:

Rodri on his own isnt mobile enough and we are vulnerable to counters - same with Gundogan......

Ferna is he only one out of the 3 that can play that role on his own (or use to be able to) -Pep clearly thinks he cannt anymore. Therefore pep plays two and we lose an attacking option.
 
Maybe they dont pass to Jesus because they dont trust him. I know Jesus is isolated a lot but that excuse cannot go on forever or are we happy to play him as number one striker and having a return of 5 goals in like 30 games from him? Can we afford that? If top6 is the target then maybe yes.

He is so far away from a 20-25 goal striker in PL as he can be.
