How can we have spent so much money and not have a proper striker and not made any attempt to get one. How do we lack a number 8 and are trying to shoe horn players we didn’t need to buy in the first place like Vieira and Havertz in there.
Saturday showed what’s likely to happen when we come up against a better side than Forest. It wasn’t a case of players performing badly (although a lot of them did) it was about insistence on playing a system that leaves us vulnerable to conceding without having the right players to score at the other end.
In fact it just confirmed what I feared before the season started. It was nice to think I could be wrong and that Havertz could perform out of position, that Martinelli wasn’t going to be isolated, that Odegaard wasn’t going to revert to type that our defence wouldn’t be caught cold by a single headed ball but all those things did happen.
These kind of things are acceptable when you don’t have the money to address the issue, but as I say we’ve spent 600 million and largely quite poorly
