So frustrating because he works his bollocks off for the team & gets very little service. I thought he had a good game tonight which can't be said for too many.I'd be pretty pissed off if I was him. Had barely anything to work with for the entire game.
Quite possibly although time and again last night he was gesturing for the through ball while he was on the last man's shoulder, only to be missed or for the pass to be a bad oneAnyone else get the suspicion he's been told by MoPo to specifically play with back to goal to bring more into play. Watch some of his goals from last season and he was a lot more dynamic in terms of running at defence, not holding play up

Agreed
Onomah and N'koudou kept making the wrong decisions all game. Feeding off scraps
Was he? He was meant to be back-up to Kane at best, getting a couple of minutes here and there, giving him time to adapt, but with Kane out he had to take responsibility a lot earlier than was anticipated.I like him, but at this level he's simply not been good enough yet and harsh as it sounds he was bought to pay at this level NOW.
Yeah, I was getting increasingly angry at the refusal of midfielders to even attempt throughballs or balls into space for him to attack. Literally every time the opportunity presented itself, our midfielders always chose a safe pass sideways or out wide instead, to be followed by either a poor cross, or a backwards pass.Quite possibly although time and again last night he was gesturing for the through ball while he was on the last man's shoulder, only to be missed or for the pass to be a bad one
Agree. And there were a whole number of situations where we was in a great position and he wasn't being played in. Could see him getting more and more frustrated as the game went on.I'd be pretty pissed off if I was him. Had barely anything to work with for the entire game.
Which ones? The man had 3 shots last night. And his best chance came from a loose ball as no one tried to pass it to him. His other two shots were a poor cross from a set piece and the penalty Given an average player converts maybe 10% of their shots, if he's only getting 3 shot per game, it's going to take him up to 3-4 full games to score anything. Claims he needs to create more himself are trite if no one will pass the ball to him to let him work with it.He's getting chances and missing them why cant people admit that?
