You can't go signing new players just because players are out of form though. We have enough creativity in Lanzini, Fornals and Benrahma - then Vlasic to hopefully improve.Pentonville wrote: ↑Tue Jan 18, 2022 8:59 pm I am assuming Metal’s and S-H’s comments about playmakers not being a priority were a come-on, so who are our in form playmakers ? I would normally say Fornals, but for whatever reason that side of his game seems to have fallen by the wayside in recent weeks.
I'd say our creative side of the game would improve if our midfield didn't have to be **** scared of our atrocious defence. They wouldn't need to cover so much and hopefully spend more time getting the ball in better positions. Cresswell will also hopefully be able to use the ball as Coufal, Johnson, Dawson, Fabianski and Diop are suspect in possession.
The output of goals and assists from midfield/attackers is very good.
We just can't defend and have a striker who looks ready for the knackers yard every other game.
