So frustrating.
On the one hand, he hasn't had nearly the crack of the whip Firmino's had, so am tempted to say what do you expect, he's not been given the chance to reach proper sharpness. He can't feel he has the confidence of the manager, and must feel like every time he goes out, he's trying to prove himself.
On the other hand, he's had chances that I'd expect him to take at least one of, and when not taking chances, he's not contributing as much as the others, his build up play is OK, but he's too easily pushed off the ball, his pace is waning, and he doesn't close down.
If his MO is that he's the best finisher, needs to take some of those chances.
Will cough up one excuse for him today, was very little space out there, and ....
Nah ...
