    I wonder if Boufal would have tried to stay up there, if he had (rightly) already been on a yellow.

    We don't get bodies onto the box when we attack the commentators say it every game and they are spot on the midfield doesn't commit - that has to be puel and his conservative approach

    You'd never find a good British player of fine stock doing that. Someone like Ward-Prowse.

    Oh....

    He's been very good just recently. Hopefully Puel will start him a bit more now.

    No, it's having no forward thinking centre mids.

    He is. Someone needs to have a word. He's good enough that he doesn't need that in his game.

    Maybe. I'm sure Davis used to get forward more though.

    Rodriguez needed to help him there instead of running 30yds up the pitch.

    PEH aside, I don't think we're playing badly at all. It's just as the commentators are saying (and as we all know), there's next to no options in and around the box.

    I sort of agree and I am always banging on about needing new players but it is ALSO the managers approach a more attack minded manager can train midfielders to get into the box though his tactics

    A little, but we have had this problem for a few seasons now.

    At least he's working hard and giving it a go. It just isn't clicking for him today. Reed had a dodgy start to the game. They're both young and need time.
