Our attack - what's off?

[FantasyIreland]

How old his he now

Just entered his prime

I’m not a huge fan of Mendy’s but it’s amazing what a direct wide attacking player does for our attack.

Sane left, sterling right was the perfect combo. Shame....

Fast direct play and getting balls in the box......who'd have thought??

Football is not a difficult game.

Jesus isn’t great at all is he

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Jesus is brilliant isnt he

I actually think we're lacking confidence as a team. Its like they dont believe

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

We don't have enough players with the drive and determination to gamble on attacking the space and meeting a cross from the wide areas.

For all his weaknesses Mendy provided some brilliant crosses that the Aguero of 2018 would have pounced on

Now we're stuck with flaky strikers and peripheral midfielders who never quite do enough.

Feels like a lifetime ago scoring 3/4 per game yet it’s only last season. Now it feels like scoring one is an achievement.

Bring Dzeko back

I wonder if an in-form and confidant Stones as RCB could kickstart the attack a bit. Not as solid as Dias of course, but he plays beautiful balls through the lines.
