I don’t think he’s what we need at this moment in time. That’s the crux of the issue for me.
He’s a developing player, and with that come some ups and downs as you’d expect. He’s not ready to be leading the line with regularity though. These last two games were his best of the season in addition to the Man City game. Outside of those his form has not been what we need, albeit I appreciate some of the work he has put in.
If our stated ambitions are still true, we need better at this moment in time.
