Good post. I think if we’re going to use him in that way, it needs to be balanced with players that can exert a bit more control on the game then, and he needs to be more clinical.It seems like the consensus is that he is not performing well in his all round game but that he has key attributes (running in behind with pace) that gives us goals at the moment.
We would all like to him to have that pace while also being amazing on the ball, but I don't think that exists outside the elite players of the game.
Looking at the numbers, he has either created or been on the end of our biggest chance in 8 games this season (measured by xG).
He is a huge attacking weapon for us.
Neither of those seem out of the question in time
