Aside from a CB and ST, one of the major problems we have is wingers.
In the last two games we've had Cabella and Gouffran as wingers. Gouffran is a natural striker, and Cabella is a number 10. The only proper wingers we have are Obertan and Aarons. Obertan had a good pre season but he is a poor quality player and Aarons is still very raw. We don't have enough or quality of players who can get down the line, take full backs on and whip in a good cross.
Zaha and Sinclair are what you call proper "wingers" would take them.
Not sure who these wingers would cross the ball to jtoon. And how many crosses did zaha and sinclair make? Its not like we have shearer and ferdinand upfront!
Ok maybe a better example is Aaron Lennon, but what I mean is there's no width whatsoever and we seem too scared to double up on the opp's full backs!
We need a goalscorer desperately though, its a bit worrying the comments that pardew made that its "difficult" to get one now.
Desree too sensible I don't think even Pardew has thought about that
I watched lamella play, the cross he played for the second goal was unbelievable. I know he is 30m worth of player, Cabella imo could add that bit of magic for us when he finds his feet.
And Jaanmaat was our biggest threat in the second half.
If we can get a goalscorer then this team could be multi dimensional. The defence has done ok so far and collo looks to be getting better. Man city destroyed liverpool
