Serious Question For Those who Have Played The Game

He’s a bit one dimensional. A perfectly weighted played through ball is what he’s looking for. But our system of booting it up the field from Pickford and hoping for a favourable bounce doesn’t serve him well either.
 
In the first half, when he was on, we sat far too deep and were under constant pressure. That setup makes it tough to play the kind of balls he thrives on—those in behind for him to chase—especially with two defenders matching him for pace and physicality. You’re asking a lot to expect accurate service in those conditions.

His hold-up play isn’t his strong suit either, which only adds to the challenge. But let’s be honest: for the fee we paid, we weren’t getting a complete forward. He’s got tools, but he’s not the finished article.

That said, there will be games—like the second half today—where we have more control and better possession. In those moments, he’ll come into his own. With space to run into and service that suits his strengths, he can be a real handful.
