Our best player again, always gets the ball and thinks about going forward. A decent manager could take him to another level.
Seen nothing but "we'll get em next time" and "one of the best players on the pitch" from most of us on here Officer. Unlucky.People are only noting every trip and slip because they've got raging stiffies for certain others and don't like the fact that ESR is going to be our centerpiece for years and years to come, whether he's great, sh!t or average this week or the next, while their favs always have uncertainty surrounding them
Some on here think that we should have bought another over 80 million winger, sell Pepe for 20, and not give ESR & Saka all these minutes.People are only noting every trip and slip because they've got raging stiffies for certain others and don't like the fact that ESR is going to be our centerpiece for years and years to come, whether he's great, sh!t or average this week or the next, while their favs always have uncertainty surrounding them
That pass would have been a bit risky too with Saka having press from behind. He salvaged the situation with his movement and strong good shot which went straight towards the keeper, but could have gone in if a bit better.Made some good passes but missed a key chance that could have won us the game. Same story since he started to play for the main team other than last week.
A better finisher would have scored that with a blindfold. You can't have attackers with this type of weaknesses in a league this big. If we are only about cuddling the youth we will end up being Southampton.That pass would have been a bit risky too with Saka having press from behind.

Not the best of decisions, but not the worst either with what he did.
'play the kids'... 'don't play the kids'... etcSome on here think that we should have bought another over 80 million winger, sell Pepe for 20, and not give ESR & Saka all these minutes.
All the while not buying much other strenghtening to our team, because all the money would be gone.
That was a strong good shot, with a good movement before it to trick the defender. "A better finisher" could easily shoot worse on a given Saturday.A better finisher would have scored that with a blindfold. You can't have attackers with this type of weaknesses in a league this big.

You can definitely improve it. Not all of them do, but you look at players like Sterling, Cristiano, Lampard etc. They were all bad at finishing until something clicked and then their numbers rocketed. I see some encouraging signs with ESR & Saka this season. In numbers terms our attack is awful but it feels like it's on the cusp of a big improvement. Maybe blind optimism but they are definitely starting to shoot more nowESR is a great talent but always seems to scuff his finishes…I think a player with a cleaner strike would have stuck his chance away on the break yesterday. Need power to beat the keeper from that angle.
Not sure it’s something you can improve (or maybe you can… Lampard apparently did but put the work in on the training field).
He can strike the ball, it's just not as accurate as it should be atm but that can be improved.You can definitely improve it.
