Seen others mention his pressing, that doesn't bother me as much as how little he creates. If you're not going to score lots of goals as a CF then you at least need to be involved in moves and setting things up for other players. Last season he was fine at that but it's non-existent this term.
Gakpo 23/24 - 18 G/A at one every 130 mins
Salah - 34 G/A at one every 68 mins (mans a fucking freak)
Nunez - 31 G/A at one every 80 mins (mans also a fucking freak)
Jota - 18 G/A at one every 87 mins (...also a fucking freak)
Diaz - 16 G/A at one every 170 mins
Gakpo 22/23 - 10 G/A at one every 186 mins
Just a few others:
Gabriel Jesus - 13 G/A at one every 117 mins
Martinelli - 13 G/A at one every 173 mins
Rashford - 14 G/A at one every 186 mins
Doku - 11 G/A at one every 161 mins
Kulusevski - 9 G/A at one every 268 mins
Garnacho - 11 G/A at one every 238 mins
Sorry, what exactly is it that he was doing last season that he isn't this season? I'd suggest a big part of the problem is that we've got three attackers who are having incredible seasons, Mo and Darwin in particular, and so it looks a bit more stark that he isn't. But he's still scoring and assisting at a good rate, he's still been very important in us getting this far still in contention in another two competitions, he's scored important goals in three. And he's scoring/assisting at a significantly better rate than far more hyped, first choice players elsewhere.
People need to have a serious think about what its actually sensible to expect from a fifth choice striker. Maybe see if Arsenal would swap us Reiss Nelson for him, that lads a machine.
