Stunning figures v bottom half. 0.18 goals per game....... just let that sink in.. thats 2 goals in 11 games and one of those we were raging about (burnely game) 2.45 goals per game scored Our performance against the top half teams has improved over last year as well but only in goals conceded stat. 0.72 gpg cmompared to 2 goals conceded per game last year.
Keep Shakira out of the team away from home, we need that extra bod in midfield early in the game and he should be coming on a s a sub only away from home.
IMO he is frankly anonymous, he miscontrols the ball a lot, falls over it and thinks he's better than he is. I wouldn't have him in if keita was anyway near the level needed. I'd contend the guy should only be a sub period.
He was great initially bit he was only getting a few minutes here and there then. He's playing much more now, a touch of complacency?
imo he's just far too far up the pitch to be called a 10. he's just hanging out waiting for others to get him the ball. firmino and salah are often deeper which just ain't right.
