....the Spark appears to have gone and he looks flat.

That's what the wife said when her sister asked how I was!

...never mind, Zebra, but there is an Oldies Thread that might help.

Take him out the team and play the XI that played against Burnley for a few games I say. Might give him the hunger back.

How long before hes not good enough, ridiculous fee etc?

Something is a miss with this one. I just can't put my finger on it. I did notice in another game he and Bernard not being friendly with each other. Then the persistent wobbly legs we all fall down lately.

He’s not a happy man on the pitch. Body language is not great. Seems frustrated. Try being a fan!

The Burnley performance was an average showing masked by two Digne screamers

Looked slow and predictable today. Always done the same thing slowed it down done some weird drag back and lost the ball

Needs to stop going down like a fanny as well

An amazing talent but his petulance is becoming annoying now. Enough of the rolling about and just get on with it.

He's not playing well.

But for me he needs to be central - he needs to be central to our team and we are a better team, at the moment, with him in a striker role.

Let him get involved closer to goal. He's useless just falling over out on the wing.

Think it might help to play him off someone like Tosun, someone who'll hold the ball up for the likes of him and Bernard

There are ways of playing without having the striker hold the ball up. We should explore trying these as we don't have a striker who can both hold it up and score goals and the scoring goals part is more important.
