Fuck me, we have one of the best strikers in Europe and no one wants to put a ball into him....
They want to, but are incapable.

You're always going to struggle for goals when you're relying on the full-backs as your main creative outlet.

It's incredibly boring to watch. Urgency. Please. Villa.

Cleverley is fucking shit.

I hope to God we don't sign him. On the other hand Sanchez I do like despite his slow start.

I
Put in anyone half reasonable in this side in place of Cleverley, Zogbia and Weimann and we'd probably look half decent.
I think for starters, bringing on Bacuna and Grealish for 2 of those 3 would see us improve off the bat. We actually looked better when Grealish came on against Swansea as he had a bit of movement and composure in between midfield and attack.

madness Bacuna not playing
Madness is Lambert's speciality.

Took the words off my mouth, totally agree.

We play a formation that requires creative outlets out wide, but we have limited strikers out wide - so we lack that creative outlet and just have workrate and pace there but with little ability/skill/creativeness.

You can get away with one workhorse out wide, if your other one has the ability and skill to be the outlet.

Until we address the fact we don't have the right players for the formation it's gong to continue.

Can we have Karim back?

Never thought I'd ever think that.

Haha. But I know what you mean. I much prefer Karim, to be fair to him

He's looked a little off since coming back from injury. Granted still more effective than Cleverley, but even by Delphy's standards his passing his been woeful.
