If Walcott could finish we'd be flying
If I was Silva I'd sit down all our forward players in front of an effin big screen and make them watch 12 hours of back to back videos of City and the RS in and around the box. Their players are all coached to be unselfish and always seem to make the right decision if somebody is in a better position to score. Even scumbags like Sterling and Firmino do it. No way this comes naturally to most players. They'll have it drilled into them. We need to do the same. I've lost count of the number of opportunities wasted just this season from bad decision making.
That's excellent to be fair. Obviously a lot of those come from his set pieces, but I've been more impressed by his chances created from open play so far this season. We saw a glimpse of this in the Southampton game, but this has moved on a level since the Arsenal game. Helps that he has players in front of him making the runs, but he still needs to have the vision and the technique to deliver the pass, and invariably he does. He's currently showing what a top player he is.
The weird thing is that he has 28 chances created and 1 assist. Our finishing must be horrendous.
On the whole yes. But there have been some very good keeping performances against us this season. Plus quite a few of those chances would have been headers from corners, and we haven't taken good advantage of some of the excellent balls being put in the box. Hopefully Mina can change that.
Not sure they've sloped off anywhere mate. Most of them were probably like me and just wanted more out of him. He's our main playmaker and earlier in the season he wasn't giving us enough. I said as much after the West Ham game and that we needed more of what he brought against Southampton. All credit to him for doing just that, and it's fair to say he's probably been our most effective player since then. But I don't feel any need to eat humble pie. What I said at the time was true.
Not digging at him at all. just pointing out he has an octagonal head.lol
