Son has also scored a load of goals and created a bunch of assists playing up front.
It’s just not clicking atm
New projects usually require struggle like this at different times
I think it took Klopp three seasons, and Fergie possibly one more to win silverware.
I can't figure out why Ange keeps saying the players are on a learning curve?
The goals we are conceding are about poor defending that has little if anything to do with his system.
I can't think of any player that he will bring in during the Summer that would make leaving Micky by himself on the halfway line safe and secure from a counter attack?
Next season will tell, bit with the club looking for investment I can only see player purchases matching out sales.
Gallagher would be an ideal signing for us.
Chelsea have to sell a plyer or two of some value this Summer.
I Agree with you, Sonny has had some great games but generally as a striker, he struggles with the physical side.
Onwards and upwards

He’s bang average so he’ll fit right in here. They won’t sell to us either thankfully because I wouldn’t take him for free.
I don't think Boehly would give a fuck as long as the cheque was pucka.
50m quid pure profit to them would be a much needed boost in the summer.
Dreadful use of money from our perspective though.
But you would.
We don't have a DM worthy of the name.
Chelsea will have to sell this Summer that much is obvious, and Boely doesn't give a toss about rivalries.
Gallagher has played every game this season with three goals and six assists, and is a great box to box DM/AM.
Who do you think that we currently have that can rival that?
How can you be a box to box DM/AM? Is he 3 players in one? He’s not a DM that’s for sure and those are average numbers for an AM. Truth is he’s all and nothing. A jack of all trades who excels at none.
He’s very ordinary and won’t improve us and the chavs will want decent money for him. But if you are happy with that, crack on.
One thing I noticed at the time but haven't heard it mentioned anywhere regarding the first goal.
Maddison should have put Werner through and not Son (who had his back to goal)
Still the midfield didn't react quick enough, then Udogie got out muscled and Van der Ben went ice skating.

lol as his happy to finish anywhere below 4th if he sees progress like being thrashed 4-0 by a depleted toon team v our best 11/14 players.
Exactly what analysis are they going? A 5 yr old could tell them what is wrong. To boot mason and the Aussie guy exactly what real quality do they bring in their roles? One is an Aussie mate who Ange bought in I think and the other is mason who has just hung around the club being an ex player. Would ledders be a better defence coach than either of these two?
The main problem is the inverted wingers are caught in no man’s land when teams Break bcos they are virtually next to the CF. I am sure if we played with a traditional back 4 setup we could bring the ball out better and defend better.
This all comes down to coaching and team structure which we have the likes of Mason doing. No wonder it’s fucked.
If CG is the saviour that Ange thinks he can be then we are doomed. It’s the same with Timo and BJ they some good moments mainly v bottom half teams but are no where near good enough for a top 4 team or team challenging for the title next season. Ange is on the funny stuff if he truly believes that!
I don't really want him but he actually has more assists than all our central midfield combined in the league and all comps
He has more goals than our entire midfield in all comps.
*Not inc james maddison of course whose an am
Leads me to think we maybe overrate our midfield somewhat
You do know what a "box to box" player is?
He's played as many minutes this season in a DM role as in an AM role.
We have a midfield full of "jack of all trades" in Ange's system or haven't you seen a single game this season?
FFS for an "ordinary" player he sure gest a lot of playing time, in fact more than any midfielder that we have.
Google is your friend by the way.
So you'd rate Pierre and Skipp over CG?
No one is talking about CG being our "saviour" but he's an injury free player (played every game this season) is a box to box player something Ange looks for, adds goals and assists, and a tenacious midfielder something we haven's really had since Dembele, Wanyama were at their best.
That Chelsea need to sell and none of the current top four or five teams need this type of midfielder then if he becomes available then I think Ange will go for him.
Forget rivalry, Boely will sell to us and likely has little choice unless CG goes to Europe where hardly any team could afford his transfer fee.
Thanks for your guidance, but he’s still bang average. That’s why he gets a lot of playing time for a team that is currently worse than ours. I don’t need google to tell me that.
We have a midfield of "bang average". That's why we can't break down Luton, Forest and the like.
Have to agree to disagree, but he's an upgrade on most of what we have in that role.
