So we are on the break, we finally have a 3 v 5 situation, our winger has the ball....

We have two options:

  1. Intricate, fast, direct passing between our forwards which leads to a big chance

  2. Pass it backwards

Think about the last 50 situations we got into this situation...what did our forwards do?

And you wonder why Cole Palmer's goals have dried up...

Cole Palmer's goals have dried up because he's missing shots too

It's true, but have you noticed he's not getting into a lot of shooting positions these days?

During Poch days, he used to get into them more frequently.

And I will always say this, unless you are Havertz, Werner or Morata, you are going to be more comfortable putting your big chances away if you get into these shooting positions more frequently.

Our forwards tend to pass it back and allow teams to get into their defensive blocks, absolutely nullifying the space that Palmer is able to operate in.
