He seems to have lost all composure in front of goal. He talked about learning to have moments of calm in front of goal but he’s gone back to snatching at chances and invariably hitting the goalkeeper. He did it again tonight when Guessand laid it on to him in the first 10 mins after the goalkeeper’s bad pass.

He just looks unhappy on the pitch and has done for a while.

Maybe sulking because he didn’t start against Spurs, the amount of times that he didn’t bother trying to receive the ball.

Yes I’m sure that’s it - he noticeably didn’t work hard when he came on against Spurs….

In my opinion his head is still out the door.  I think he made his mind up he wanted to leave in the close season.  It hasn’t materialised and he’s just not on it.   He has a tendency to be the sulking kind - see rashford ans ascensio situations last season.

What you say makes no sense.  If he goes off the boil he won't get the type of move you think he wants, so it's entirely counterproductive.

He's just not on top form right now.  Nothing deliberate but he's always been a streaky player.  Reading anything more into it than that is just Football Insider levels of speculation.

I like Ollie, he’s off form this season so far and he was shit last night.

Or someone else’s opinion. Also is FI not to be trusted?
