Sick of watching these reclamation projects fanny about in every part of the pitch apart from where a striker should be. Then when they're finally in the box you get that **** from Havertz last night. We were chasing a goal and Havertz and Jesus were passing it around down the right hand side while we had Saliba and Gabriel in the box. I've had enough.
Think about the poor souls born in the last 15 years. The only strikers they've seen at the club are Aubameyang, Lacazette.
I know Martinelli missed that chance but I'd love to see him given a shot through the middle. Think he's got a lot more to offer than just a winger.Quote:

Some big decisions ahead, chief among them being that our two best central midfielders simply dont fit together. Rice is horribly wasted playing in this left half position, it simply isnt his game. Long term, I dont think he and Partey can play together.
I dont know whether it would work with him through the middle. I do know that he is wasted out there on the left in a side that just doesnt get the ball and support to him at the same time. He always ends up taking possession out on the touchline, as though he is Stanley Matthews. Nobody but opponents within 20 yards of him. We're completely wasting a player of huge value.Quote:
