I will say that Dowman ball to Gyokeres does make me wonder why we arnt just playing more through balls and balls over the top to him.
Yes, I agree. I know he's been getting a lot of criticism of late, but what's he supposed to do when he's feeding off scraps and is getting virtually no service?
Well this is the thing. If you have seen Gyokeres play you can see thats the kind of play he thrives on, get the ball to him early so he has one man to beat and the keeper. He will most likely bulldoze the defender then has a shot on goal, slowing the game right down, giving the defence time to get into shape is not the way. Also consider Martinelli's last 2 goals, through balls, something we seemed set against in recent seasons.
