I just can’t understand it. Hudson Odoi one of the better ones and fortunately got one today. But honestly when we were clean through I never expected a goal, not to mention the 50 other shots we’ve had in the last 3 matches.
Anderson and mgw, for all there hype, cannot hit it cleanly on a consistent basis. Hutchinson looks like a rabbit in the headlights when given a chance. Jesus can finish and has shown he can finish in europe but struggles for chances in the premier league. I feel he is a tweener striker - probably be too good for the championship but not good enough for the prem. That leaves Hudson odoi who we know can hit a sweet shot but is often too predictable and wood who has shown he can finish.
But this is not new. We were overly reliant on wood last season and when he stopped scoring then that was when the rot started. Not enough of our other players chipped in with goals regularly enough and that has persisted this season
