Start of season with full squad to pick from he had us playing front foot football, with Gray, Doucoure and Calvert-Lewin looking fantastic.
Injuries set in, the usual cowards downed tools and we are where we are.
You have no evidence whatsoever for what you're saying; he is simply playing the hand he's dealt with. He can't go gegenpressing with the shower of tossers he has at his disposal.
Bit of a stretch.
He had one goalscoring chance in open play other than the one he scored v Southampton, and that was the one-v-one he missed v Leeds. Other than that the pens were what he had. He was injured and hardly looked 'fantastic'.
The team all played well v Brighton, it was a good performance. I'm not buying this we played fantastic stuff, front foot etc footy though. That first half v S'ton was as bad as we'd seen, it was awful. The Huddersfield game was horrific and we should have lost it and would have done if not for a dodgy lino call. The Leeds game, while we played pretty well, Benitez failed to change it with subs and allowed them to pressurise our goal and we conceded a sloppy goal from a cross into the box - an Achilles heel of ours all season that hasn't been addressed.
