Our "striker" Merino spent most of his time covering for players who appointed themselves to the centre forward role, it was a joke. By the end there was no shape, no tactics, nothing. That game last night was like watching a mental breakdown on fast forward. We started off sane and by the end it was a basket case, thanks to undisciplined players like Calafiore, who got subbed I notice.
Yes, I agree, efficient wide play is pointless when nobody is attacking the goal centrally. No arguments there, we're currently shite in the box. January transfer window striker, and so on.
