Brendan needs to pick a striker and stick with him. Lack of sharpness in them is harming us

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
You're right. He didn't do anything.
Next to nothing. He was poor. :thumbsup:
Both lived off scraps today. I said in the match thread that through no fault of his own Griffiths hadn't a touch 10 minutes after coming on. Dembele had been forced to drop deep earlier just to get a touch and Griffiths was faced with the exact same situation when he came on.

Both were mostly ineffective but the responsibility for that lies primarily with the lack of creativity in midfield and out wide. I had no issue with a Griffiths/Dembele sub but it was always going to have minimal impact while the midfield continued to malfunction.

Actually hoping we sell him if BR gets the money to invest into the rest of the team.

Griffiths and Eduoard are enough up top to get us through the rest of the season.

And from his attitude and the way he sauntered off, I'm guessing that was his last game for us.

You are ok with his selling two of our most important players? Moussa & Sinclair?

If Moussa wants to go then fine. I hope we keep him tbh.

People happy to see talents like Sinclair and Moussa go will be bemoaning those decisions in the future.

He's leaving anyway. We all know this. That's why he came here. Get first team football, CL experience then move on having increased his profile. All I hope is that we do it now so BR has a window to get players in and get them settled ahead of vitally important qualifiers early in the summer. I'd rather that than sell Moussa in the summer and have no time to get replace him.

If we're getting anything like 18-25m for him we could build a real good side if it goes back into the squad.

Its no as if when Griffith's came on things got any better either. Possibly got worse. Ntcham helped us get a foot on the ball but so many desperate performances. Dembele wasn't interested the day, think his minds elsewhere.

Think this was his swan song.
It wasn't a very good one. Hopefully his current form is because a deal has already been done. If not then we will struggle to get too much for him now.
Definetly not the same player as last season. It would make sense if a deal has been agreed, I just don't get why BR would pick him over Leigh.

Said during the game then problem were deeper than where Dembele was. A change of striker means very little when you have a midfield as poor as ours was today.

It will be tough to get a top forward in January. I'd rather we keep, Moussa and get him up to speed.

A couple of big performances in the Europa League increases our chances to go through and Moussa's value.

If however he wants away now and we have a quality replacement lined up then lets sell and reinvest the money.

There is a lack of service, same when Griffiths came on, we are lacking creativity, that being said if he wants to go we should cash in. He is a very good player who has potential to be very good, he has the attributes.

Even at his peak last season he'd have the odd game where he would like completely disinterested, unfortunately was the same today. Can only remember him winning 1 header and holding the ball up a couple of times. Casual far too many times today when the hun defenders were snapping into him. If he wants to go then we shoudl sell him soon, the price will go down with performances like that

Time to cash in before his value tanks any further. This season he has been no more than ordinary. We have enough in Griffiths and edouard.

Dembele gave us an outlet up front. Replacing him with Griffiths showed up the weaknesses in our other attacking players.

Suffers from the same thing as Dimitar Berbatov in that his body language always make him seem surly and operating at half-speed. That’s fine when you’re playing well but folk will use it against you the minute things take a turn for the worse.
