Even though he scored 14 goals from out wide last season
I think maybe 2 or 3 wide players (including Mane/Salah) scored more but ok
he played up from for a large portion though

But you cannot just have wingers who score goals and do nothing else. He was poor creatively for a winger (he's been much better at that playing central, funnily enough) and he was genuinely woeful in possession at times.Even though he scored 14 goals from out wide last season

Basically you're arguing for a completely unbalanced formation where we have 2 strikers, a winger who plays like a striker and a normal winger. Plus getting to this point requires us to spend half our budget on another striker because you don't rate Kean. It is ludicrous.

Not really - he played up top on his tod for a few games then Silva kept rotating between him/DCL/Tosun as all 3 struggled.
He is nowhere near clinical enough in a front 2 imo - Lukaku would be slamming goals in alongside DCL's workrate.
We have one of the worlds best young wide players and we are shoehorning him in a central 2 whilst we have the crappest wide players offering us zilch out wide - Iwobi/Bernard/Walcott combined will offer us half of what Richarlison would in terms of goals and assists.

Erm Richarlison can cut in, defend, track back, tackle and is alright at passing.
Apart from that yeah the likes of Walcott and Iwobi offer us loads more out wide...
I believe it was 9 games and 6 goals
you don’t nullify your most influential threat

Then you take DCL out.
Last 3 games we have scored 1 goal and the one before that we missed numerous sitters to get us a draw - we are nowhere near clinical enough and have to bring in a top CF if we really want to push for the top 4/6.
I honestly dont know how that is even up for debate at this point.

Problem is we sit here patting our forwards on the back when we really dont smash teams enough to justfiy it.
You would think we had Suarez, Sterling and Sturrige up top single handely hammering teams 4/5 every week the way our fans gush.

The fact that the second, third and fourth things are defensive is the whole problem. He's our best attacker!

Pickford is our best GK
Gomes is our best CM
Coleman is our best RB
doesnt mean I dont want us to upgrade in those positions.
Weve just played the best defensive team in the league.
Give it a rest will you.

Im on about the last 4 games where we have picked up 2 points out of 12 and scored 3 goals.
4 points behind Palace
Level with Newcastle and 1 ahead of Southampton
I just CBA with the same fans who rave about us who then moan when we dont finish top 6 next season.
We are light years away and still have big room to improve.
I wont win superfan forum award for saying that but its the truth - nowhere near enough goal threat in the current squad.
So you take two strikers out who have scored 20 goals this season
what a marvellous approach
Like I can remember anything before lockdown.

No you move one out wide who will still score 15-20 in place of Theo 1 goal a season Walcott and bring in another CF who scores 15-20 a season.
Chelsea have a good CF in Abraham yet still went out and signed Werner...
