We are lacking stardust. A quality technician as a squad option would have been useful. Iwobi is much improved but to rely on him over the course of the season to be your creative hub is a big ask. I do acknowledge the risk though of bringing in a bad character into the ranks
Agree with that although I think it probably just is the way it is at the moment. Think Lampard will probably be looking to train Gray and Gordon to be less selfish, especially once we start playing with a striker. I don't think we'll have an out and out creative genius in the squad but I think Gray, Gordon, McNeil and hopefully the new forward should be aiming for 5+ goals and 5+ assists each at least. If we can spread goals around like that it negates the need for individual brilliance which we'll lack.
If I were at the club I'd be challenging every single player aside from the keepers to get 3 goals and 3 assists or just more simply put 6 goal involvements, that's how we succeed in my opinion and I fully believe everyone is capable of it, maybe some are capable of just that but most will be capable of more and it'll all balance out. Spreading goals around like that also makes the team look more dangerous so it doesn't just become a case of the oppostion simply doubling up and marking one player out of a game which would effectively nullify us. Obviously I could be talking out of my arse but this is how I would plan our success.
