Agree with that. Moussa's off the ball runs and movement is superb. Watched the game back and he played well. He has to score the chance he had though. He should have looked at the goal before hitting the rebound. Edited by allthewine, 7 Dec 2016, 12:03 PM.

Needed to have some composure, something that he will hopefully develop over time; if he checks back on to his right foot he leaves the two City defenders sliding after the same bus Senderos is still chasing, and has a tap in. He played fairly well last night, just needs a goal. That sounds mental considering his record, but his last goal that wasn't a penalty? 9 games ago, against Ross County. Not having a go at him at all, I just think he could use a game off to kind of 'reset the meter' while Griffiths needs the opposite. |

His last goal was v Aberdeen in the league cup. He has 4 in his last 10. Let Griff play the next couple of games and release Moussa from the bench. |

He does have 4 in has last 10. He also has 1 in has last 6, or 2 in has last 8 (both penalties). He hasn't scored from open play in 8 games; you can ignore that fact all you want, but the miss last night only highlights it. |

I am not ignoring that at all but why does it matter if the goals were pens? Especially the one in Germany? That was a huge pressure pen that Moussa won with a great piece of play. He already has 17 goals this season and he is contributing a lot to the team. |

Definitely not on his strongest scoring form right now but I think he's actually knitting the top half of the team together right now better than he was at the start of the season in terms of offering himself as a option and making runs which create space for the 3 behind him to exploit. As much as he is an excellent goal scorer on his day, look at the amount of goals coming from the second layer (Rogic, Forrest, Sinclair/Roberts) and use those stats to judge his overall play as well. BR clearly doesn't want to play with a big strong lad up front who stands in the box and shoots all the time. I think this is potentially a tough decision for the manager to make in that, you'd hope, bringing Leigh back in for a run of starts should put more goals into the striker's pocket but may end up being at the detriment of the players behind him. Obviously it's very hard to say because we've not seen Leigh play in this system with the 'new' Rogic, Forrest etc so he may end up being just as useful to them as Moussa. |

The goals are all important, I'm not denying that. My point is he is somewhat snatching at chances right now and IMO, could use a game out. The guy is only 20, we've seen far more experienced players than he crumble as our main striker; I think we sometimes forget how young he is. We are well ahead in the league and the pressure that was once there to not ever change a winning team just isn't there, not that Griffiths coming in would even be likely to result in us losing. Dembele is not playing poorly, not at all, but sometimes a wee breather can do the world of good. With the amount of games we have coming up we should be looking to utilise the squad. |

I agree with you on that. I would like to see Leigh start the next two games. |

I love the big man but there is no doubt he has been off the boil for a while though. a couple of those "shots" today were embarrassing. I've seen harder hit passbacks. I'm certain he will be back on it soon enough. |

He's excellent, but his final ball is lacking a bit. Typical young winger. All the talent in the world though. |

Before his hattrick against the huns he actually snatched at a lot of chances a little bit like Griffiths when he feels he has a point to prove. He might hit a few more sclaffs before he finds his form again. |
