He has lost the yard of pace, his overall game has never been good enough. It's like later days Rooney after 11-12 season, hiding poor performance with goal. Now goal has dried up and he is playing like the washed up Rooney but worse.
Its day and night between him receiving the ball on tight space compared to Bruno. Add to that he is stronger and can glide across the turf, He needs better partners in middle 3.
Red flag was there when he went and signed Mount for 55 million after the decent season we had to build upon. He values physicality and work rate above Technical ability which is extremely odd for someone who was a successful Ajax manager. He has been hampered by injury this season but having no...
ETH has basically decided to die on Antony hill. Nothing else explains how he goes from getting 1 minute in last game and being third choice to straight up starting ahead of the guy who was send in when we were trying to rescue the game.
I was just saying those clips of him running at defence and beating players inside out has been more of regular occurrence than anomaly. It needs more than one player to change the way we are playing right now but those quality on the ball will add something that we are missing.
Its not just couple of clips though he has been doing that for weeks game after game. Issue will be work rate which right now is piss poor, instruction or otherwise.
