Yes and no. Obviously lack of chances is a factor, but that is largely his own fault for not getting into good positions.

It isn't though...... Our creative play is shit. It has been for 18 months.

So, so often we see him at the edge of the box when he should be in position to finish a cross.

If he's on the edge of the box it's cos he's holding off in anticipation of the cut back (which is 90% of our attacking strategy).

I actually quite like him as a player, but he's not doing what we need at the moment.

Tactically or decision making; this has gone off-piste....... I originally responded to the claim that he's a poor finisher.

I repeat; he's not fluffing chances.
 

We had 22 shots, 2.14 XG, 45 touches in their box, they cleared one of the line. I don't know how many crosses we put in.
They could have easily shanked at least two clearances into their own net.

They got lucky. There were plenty of positives to take from that game.

I abuse the team and manager on here when they don't put any effort in and play absymally (which has been a lot this season) But I can also see when we play well and take the positives.

Certain agenda driven people on here are so blinded by the agenda they don't see anything else.
 
Another disappointment of a game. We had our chances, but Forest defend with everything they possess, whereas we're like a wet paper bag.
At halftime, the guy behind me said we're playing like school kids, I replied that it was an insult to school kids. Then lo and behold - at half time, they brought out the under-17 coach and keeper with the League Cup!
Yes we had our chances, but that's not what counts when it comes to getting points.
I'm not going to watch any football next weekend, I'm not that much of a masochist!
 
I dunno - if we sneak into the final, I can see the team putting full effort in from minute one. As long as we’re not playing Bilbao, I can see Utd shit themselves and I back is to win chaos ball over 90 minutes.
If we get bilbao I just think Williams will roast porro. United we will get stage fright despite beating them 3 times this season. That my honest opinion. Have to beat Bod first. Even then we might fuck it up in norway. Why do I support this club ffs.
 
It looked like 11 players playing for the first time together.

No shape in attack. No shape in defence.

Only good part was like 10 minutes in first half when Tel and Odobert looked very lively on the wings.

Its pure chaos ball. And once opponent rebuilt their shape in defence, we just pass slowly ball to the wings and cross the ball. There is absolutely no danger generated through the middle.
So when did those front 3 play together before. I cannot recall it happening. It has been a problem all season, being ineffective scoring goals and giving away goals because of defensive mistakes and not the high line or inverted FB’s.
 
But those targets aren't realistic under Levy. Are we going to go out and spend £100 million on Declan Rice to take us to the next level? You know the answer.

Our ceiling is winning a Europa which also gets us CL football next season. Can't believe some of our fans are turning their noses up at that as if it isn't good enough just to get rid of a manager and bring in a bloke that will have the same ceiling in place.

Its self sabotage
I don't have the mentality that we are West Spam I suppose and this is a level we should be content with
