Nice to get the assist but his decision making was yet again atrocious throughout the game. Everyone is being cute in here, but let’s be honest, he’s fecking annoying.
My thoughts exactly. Hopefully its nothing serious, but some rest would do him goodWorked hard, but was probably our worst player today (although still gets high marks for his workrate).
The injury might give him a chance to have a rest, which he really needs.
Cmon guys. When he shoots he gets criticised for being selfish, when he passes he gets criticised for being reluctant to shoot. It's about decision making which he lacks sometimes. But he also often get's it right as for the assist today.Frustrating again today. For a so called striker he sure is reluctant to shoot
I wouldn't mind him not shooting if the alternative wasnt passing directly to a City player.Cmon guys. When he shoots he gets criticised for being selfish, when he passes he gets criticised for being reluctant to shoot. It's about decision making which he lacks sometimes.

His workrate was very, good today. He was a constant threat and the so called current best manager subbed on Walker only because of him. (At least that was my impression)
I’m sure it’ll all come together for him in the next little while. He’s clearly talented but super frustrating with his final decision. I was so surprised when he set Shaw up there. His decision making and work rate this season has been consistently horrible all while he’s been putting up respectable numbers. It makes me think once he’s fully fit and we have some more quality around him I think he’ll come alive again and he could be capable of doing a Salah or a Bale before he left England. If Shaw can become the best LB in the league after a leg break then I must remind myself, even though I always felt Shaw would come good again, that i shouldn’t be so quick to totally write off players after a bad few months or even a bad season. I just want to see work rate and mentality when things aren’t coming off in the meantime!Its like he’s developing but the wiring is all wrong.
Passed when he had to shoot - shoots when there is an easy pass. So infuriating

Some say you can injure yourself doing something you’re not used to doing.After getting so much shit for his (lack of) defensive effort (some of it deserved) it’s worth noting that he injured himself at the end of a 60 yard defensive sprint. Good to see.
I'd really like him to take a pop at goal at times. Why did he ever stop? He's doing a good job getting in positions to curl it in the far corner of the goal but for some reason all he does is pass.
Depending on the operation shoulder surgery could have him out for 6 to 8 weeks. Possibly longer. Not something you can squeeze in over an international break.If Cavani can get fit, this may be the time to just get his shoulder op done, with the international break coming up, and he may have a niggle anyway it could help us to have him back 100% for end of this season, start of next.
Those deficiencies are not recent or new.He's really out of form. Might be general fatigue, might be the injury he's carrying, but something needs to be done because his form has been poor for a while.
Underhit passes ruining promising attacks.
Dribbling into players
Shooting when he's got a crowd of players in front of him
Not shooting when there's a good chance
Ignoring or not seeing teammates in good positions.
Walking around the pitch too often
These have all become staples of his recent performances. We're not doing ourselves any favours by playing him week in and week out, but he needs to be doing better too.
