Mateta to AC Milan?

[Teddy Eagle]

We need all our strikers firing , Larsen has shown he can score , Johnson if Herbie can get him believing in himself , would give us more options , but most of all we need midfield getting at least 15 goals between them this season , if they had got 10 last season we would have finished top half

Midfield is a real challenge. Tyrick Mitchell has outscored the combined efforts of Doucoure, Hughes, Kamada, Lerma and Wharton and Devenny has equalled their total.

Agreed and part of the problem as I see it is effectiveness from set pieces.

Who are our main free kick takers? What returns do they get? I think this is an area we can improve on massively.

Given the goals he's provided & the supposed wage he's on he's been underpaid for some time

Not when he was floundering for the first couple of years he was with us

He suffered from Hodgsonitis. As much as I respect Roy for the way he kept us above the dreaded drop zone, he stifled our strikers through the way he set up and his failure to give players such as Mateta and Sorloth sufficient runs in the team as starters. Even Benteke caught Hodgsonitis after his initial goal spurt and Roy's arrival. owing to a combination the ultra defensive set-up and Benteke#s own laziness.
