But I’d guess his 5 assists are all corners, yes we do well from corners and someone has to take them, but from open play he and Harrison aren’t creating much. That last 2 great chances DCL has had, have come from danjuma and Onana. We all know we’re in a tricky position as a club, but to improve you need better than Harrison and McNeil and we can’t go and pay 100mil for 2 wide players, so the club has to have a solutions and do better in the market, Brighton do, palace have.
I agree and the same thing applies to every position we don't have a lot of good players and we could improve on most of them but for where we are right now as a club I don't see McNeil and Harrison as not good enough overall like I said they aren't amazing but they are functional and for now I can sort of live with that sad as it is.
ONeillo and Harry could do a decent job in the Champo
Probably worried about getting FFP sanctions
Might be a rare example of FFP working in our favour. We can’t spend either way as we’ve got no money so the fact other clubs can’t spend either due to their FFP position in a weird way levels the playing field.
Or could be the exact thing the Prem wanted to show the actions they have taken actually work.
The problem with stats is, that they can be twisted to suit any argument.

Many would look at those stats and state "Our wingers aren't good enough" but watching the game, the box is often empty or when they do find a player, they miss their chance or even worse, bottle shooting at all.
I've never seen a club (I say club, because it's not just this current team, I've watched it for years and years) struggle to get players into the box and have so many players who can't hit the target.
How often does a player get the ball on the edge of the box and hit it high and wide? I dread half the team having a shot
Yeah, that’s the intent for sure. Just saying that an accidental positive is that we knew we couldn’t strengthen much anyway and so the fact other clubs can’t either is kind of helpful.
They were all great signings yes but they weren't the only type of signings he made and one thing Moyes was very good at was signing players who did a good job in his system and made the team better than it looked on paper and he definitely didn't think 27 was too old for a signing! 20 mil would be well too much for Harrison which is why I said at the right price. In my opinion we need to try and consolidate now even though I don't like it I think we need to stop getting worse before we can get better and the manager is helping us to do that in my opinion.
