So was Harrison who for me should be dropped.
He will deliver one or maybe two if you are lucky decent crosses and should have scored.
Bamfords conversion rate for a striker is poor to say the least.
Is Clark still with us?
If so he should get at least 45 minutes.
I would like to see two upfront especially at home but like you say Bielsa won`t go for it.
When Hernandez is back who gets dropped?

Harrison is another who works hard but no end product. Its crystal clear why we dont score enough

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Wed Oct 23, 2019 5:18 pm  

yet he has created goals in the last 4 games. a dilemma

That`s a good point Tad and I was thinking the same when I typed it.
However he might make the odd cross that results in a goal but how many does he mess up?
And how many goals does he score?
It`s similar to Bamford who tries his bits off and will net you a goal (although not that often lately).
But he misses so many it`s becoming a liability.The other concern if he is dropped it might knock his confidence even more.
I wouldn`t be surprised to see Bielsa play Roberts upfront instead of Eddie if Bamford was dropped.

Bamford has lost his touch infront of goal. Confidence has gone

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Oct 27, 2019 9:35 am  

Sorry to say but Bamford needs to make way for Eddie next game.
And i would give Clark the nod over Harrison at least for 45 minutes.
Alioski for all his efforts isnt doing it for me.
Shackleton and Douglas should be ahead of him.
I see WBA who have without doubt the best attack in the league not only signed Charlie Austin but now want to bring in Dwight Gayle a player we should be busting a gut for.
A swap with Bamford would work!

Games are tight in this division, you may only get one or two chances to get a breakthrough in a game and we dont have anyone who is clinical enough to put them away. The longer this goes on, the more we are going to struggle come the end of the season.

Crowing over 60%+ possession is a moot point if you are constantly drawing games you should be winning.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Oct 27, 2019 12:48 pm  

We were better with Bamford on than yesterday. We're really lacking in the centre at the moment, our strikers are having to come 40 yards from goal to support the midfield. We're missing Forshaw/Shackleton badly, more so than Pablo IMO.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sun Oct 27, 2019 12:56 pm  

Our midfielders need to do much better. Deffo missing Shackleton and Pablo. Rest of em need to step up. Nketiah needs a few 90mins under his belt he cant be expected to score in the second half all the time.

FFP is biting us harder as the owner wont put anymore of his own money in to give us breathing space. We should be busting a gut for Gayle imo in Jan.
