When he is “off” he truly looks rank,he has attributes,strength,running behind defences,but today was one of his “off” days.
To many off days, I think the problem is he is good at doing one thing and he will get some goals going that thing. But he has no variation to his game at all.

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.
Tommy Chong

He’s horrible at trapping a ball and holding up play.
His positioning ain’t great either.
there always may be the reason that it is what he has been told (ie, stay between the lines of the posts), or it may be because he's a bit gash and reacts rather than being proactive

I rate his attitude and love for the badge. But he’s the best we can afford right now. And that’s why threads like this pop up for us. I doubt threads like this exist on a RS board. Theirs would be who do you like more, this striker or that striker that cost a cool £100M.

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.
