Rather than Nunez, ie as a 9. Looked more comfortable and got the goal he clearly needs. Pleased for him and hoping to see more of him in what looks like his proper role.
Also interesting to see Sindre briefly moved inside to the 10 role at the end when Johnson came on for Nunez. |  | | |  |

It’s one of the least surprising things. I’ve been quite surprised with KM playing him in a role that hasn’t been suiting him, which is then compounded by neither Hirst or Azon really getting going. I can’t fathom how KM’s had a blind spot there. |  |

Great for Akpom and he’s better at the tops of the pitch |  |

Just don’t understand why KM waited so long to make that positional change for Akpom🤷♀️ |  |

It really is a ploy from KM to have this hybrid 10/striker thing. But maybe he is conceding that it does not work so well. He has tried it successively with the Chaplin/Broady combo, which was successful (maybe as they operated as a pair and individually had more nous for the role) now with more overt strikers like Sammy and Akpom and it clearly hasn't worked. What we need is the magic formula that made Akpom And Sammy each have such a successful single season. For whatever reason we cannot get them to repeat it. |  | | |

Would be more tinkering but in the non low block kind of games I’d like to try Akpom up top and Szmodics behind when he’s back and Nunez drop to the 8, it could work.
I think Sammy might have more joy running off Akpom who has more of a frame to hold up and release it in behind.
Szmodics thrived from off the shoulder runs at Blackburn. |  |
