Haaland 18:30 - Dec 13 with 1028 viewsChris_ITFC

up front for us today would’ve made very little difference. Sometimes, maybe - but not today.

No support
No service
No midfield creativity
No through balls
No balls in behind
No runners in behind
No one-twos
No dangerous crosses
No one in the vicinity
No plan

Sure, maybe he has limitations, but:
- he never has any team mates anywhere near him
- they constantly turn down opportunities to cross
- if he somehow predicts when they will, he’s completely outnumbered in the box, as the opposite winger has no interest in heading it
- and if you think the crossing is bad, wait till you see the creativity from the midfield.

I do think his energy and enthusiasm drive us on though, almost as though his youth and passion spur (shame?) the rest of the team into action, or at least reminds them what they’re supposed to be doing.

This all happens far too often, not just today. Even against Coventry and Stoke we just looked plain ordinary for long periods of those games. We need a couple of players with steel and drive in the team. We simply haven’t got that drive.

Not really. Neither of us mentioned him.

Indeed - but that says far more about the rest of the team than it does the #9, a la my OP.

We need a more creative central midfielder imho Matusiwa is protecting and provides some simple passes, but so is Taylor. Cajuste was the man but for whatever reason looks way off it.

Someone who can play and receive under high pressure, beat a man. We don’t have that centrally.
Someone like Enciso in the 10 would help as well.

The only Muff in Town.

Yes you did - his new nickname ‘Haaland’ was mentioned on here two days ago.

It's a comparative reference to Hirst.

What came first, the chicken or the egg? His hold up play has been honking virtually all season and been a factor in us struggling to link play and look fluent in the final third.

This.

As poor as Azon was in the first half against Stoke, in the second half we looked much better precisely because he started linking play up when the ball came into him.

I was born underwater, I dried out in the sun. I started humping volcanoes baby, when I was too young.

He did. He was looking much more mobile laterally, playing off the CBs shoulders rather than just standing in front of him.

I can’t even find it now!

Anyway, I still think we missed Egeli due to his qualities that I listed above.
