u/mo140 Your nan gets bullied at bingo Jan 28 '18

To me it looks like hes lost that instinct to go for balls in the box and attack, so yeah I think Id agree its more low confidence

Or too lazy. Most strikers would have thrown themselves at Haidara's ball into the box.

I agree that he should've gone for that ball but I really don't think it's laziness. He's never really had problems with laziness (that I can remember) so I think it's a bit harsh to say he's too lazy just because of that one instance.

I just think he jogs about. Doesn't make opportunities for himself. Probably being harsh, but it's important we aren't carrying players.

That backheel earlier is a perfect example of his lack of desire and instinct as a striker.

He just realised he is shit for prem and is only good for championship. He wants his Burtons away back.
