Lookman could potentially be that LW. He can play a hybrid inside forward or true winger depending on where Digne is and they can combine to get crosses in while also linking up inside. I don't know that he can do it but I'm pretty sure after this season that Bernard cannot unless he significantly improves around the box.
It's possible that we could have a good run despite one player not being all that good is it not? And most of that was built on clean sheets not great goal outputs iirc.
Hopefully Ziyech so I never have to mention Bernard or Lookman ever again
They have different styles but saying Martial and Rashford are better than Bernard didn't feel controversial to me.
It's not just about stats though is it mate. Yes he needs to improve on assists and goals but it was his first season in a new league and never even had a proper pre season. Yet you want Lookman in who has done nothing and has been here longer. Don't really get your logic.
My point wasn't to say the results weren't good enough. I was trying to say that winning doesn't mean we can't improve still and I felt like defensive solidity was the key and we can still create a more consistent and prolific attack.
Been here longer but played far less
Exactly what does that tell you. We have had more than one manager in that time as well. Walcott is getting off the bench before him as well. I want Lookman to succeed but for me something ain't right.
If he was 25 not 21 I would think he's crap. But given how managers in this country treat younger players I still believe he has a lot to offer if he were ever given a serious chance to show it. I haven't given up on him because the level of natural ability is so high.
