What we are lacking at the moment is a 'Johnny on the spot'. 12:16 - Jan 18 with 976 viewsWeWereZombies

Brighton had Rutter there for their second goal for instance, we had Sarmiento there against Southampton last season. Chaplin can fulfill this role but he isn't fit at the moment. We need more goals.

Poll: What was in Wes Burns' imaginary cup of tea ?

Chaplin. He does that well, especially on those cut backs.

We need more than no one. Albeit we've got Szmodics too. It's typical of our luck this season that both are missing at the same time.

Agree

Burns cut back on Thursday was right into that space, but no Chaplin and no Szmodics meant it went begging. He created a few in a good performance.

Brighton had one and scored from it

He really should have scored more goals in the PL

Goals from midfield has been lacking really

Alcohol is the answer but I can't remember the question!

Just watching Football Focus (they showed the Brighton goals), I saw Man U bring on some young lad called Diallo who scored a hat trick late in their game. We obviously need a 3rd striker to backup Delap & Hurst for the rest of the season but it would be nice if we had a 4th option coming out of our Academy who could come on for 10 minutes playing with no fear like that.

Jonny on the spot Rutter with 3 goals in 20 games costing 40m...

We need more creativity and ability to keep the ball because we create very very little

Poll: Has our squad been improved this summer?

We have Johnny on the spots. Szmodics is about as good good as it gets in that department alone. Chaplin also good. Broadhead pretty good. Al Hamadi is basically a specialist Johnny on the spot. But the issue is we are in those positions probably about 1/4 of the times vs the level below.

We effectively have to improve in lots of areas before we even get to that point. We will be down on possession, possession in threatening areas, touches in box, crosses, cut back etc etc.

For us it's all about incremental gains. Same for any team coming up and developing a team. What I like is we are building a young group who can get some of those gains as they develop. There is only really CM where we will need to sign players now or in summer as replacements for Morsy and Luongo (long term I mean).
