I don't see a player who isn't bothered. I see a player who has completely lost all belief that he can beat two men and get a goal in open play. He needs to get back that belief if he is to fulfill his potential here.

That's an interesting perspective mate, I didn't consider that. You might have a point. He's playing like a man who's over thinking things.

Do you recon the onus of the notion that he's supposed to be shouldering the rat's responsibility is making him 2nd guess himself?

Right back at ya - it could be that Isak leaving has impacted his game and thus his self-confidence. Maybe the partnership with Wolte/Wissa just isn't up and running yet.

I think he needs to score a goal or two from an inside forward position or something. It's the only cure!

[Marat18]

Was he the only one who spoke publicly after b&w #14 downgrade to red #9? Something like supporting him and wishing him well

It was said that it split the camp, so it might be that he kinda feels on his own

I'll be interested to see to see how he plays tonight, CL instead of Prem

[OwdBillCook]

Especially starting with Barnes, Gordon, Wissa against PSV
Should be a good game, I reckon.
Could suit Gordon very well........
And a real chance for Wissa to shine

[PhoneymcRingRing]

Had he got too much power in the group, he bullied his way to be our penalty taker and Howe let him. e may getting a bigger move but I don?t think his as good as he thinks he is.

[OwdBillCook]

Aye, I think that as well.
Mind, although I was surprised at him taking pens, he does seem pretty good at it!
At least so far..

[toptoon]

Yes - Wissa needs game time. I?m glad hes starting. I hope Elanga can get on at some time for similar reasons (he looked slightly improved v Wolves?)

[MidsMagpie]

Shame he is starting yet again was hoping Elanga would get a start for a change.
