There is no denying Lagossa is the best finisher we have had for a number of years. Give him the ball in the box and he will usually score. I had no doubt that hewas going to put it past Carson last night. In a similar situation I would, for example, expect Wood to miss. He scores when he doesn't have time to think about it. Unfortunately Lasogga does little else. He got his head to the ball times last night than the rest of the games put together but lacks control and his colleagues have little faith it seems as there is none one running on past him as they don't expect anything to happen. Saiz is similar in that he does very little when he doesn't have the ball. It doesn't look as bad because he gets the ball fed to him much more than Lasogga. Having said that when we are down and being urged on by the crowd we start humping ball forward in the vain hope that something will happen. -It won't. Lasogga is not that sort of player. The team have to find a different way of playing that gives Lasagga chances in the box without the usual hold up play that we expect. Wingers have to be stronger and midfield have to be more creative. and we need Saiz on the ball more. If we can't do that Lasogga has no real future in the team. He is a finisher - that's it. Defence is another matter. Leadership is another matter. Difficult to know where to start. At the back is the usual way but we are nearly there in all departments but not there yet in any.

Agree Hess I'm afraid this is a league where if you loose to ball then players need to track back and chip in all the games I have seen so far when we don't have the ball then certain players are not doing there bit and I believe this is are underlining problem, we can attack but defending is left to others. Think Jan window we need to sign players proven in this league, and can someone tell what on earth is going on with Agling who has seemingly lost his mojo .
