It isn't about how many forwards you have on a pitch. 4 or 5 forwards starved of service when the defence is getting overrun doesn't do anything.

It is about achieving the best balance to start keeping possession and creating chances.

You have answered your own Q in the post - his selections are being heavily influenced by the lack of fit available players.

As much as we have struggled to create we have also struggled not to give up chances to the opposition.

So he needed to make us competitive and coherent in a game first and foremost. And stop the self destruction. Brighton are an extremely good team and they played well against us but.we almost beat them. Honestly that brighton performance was the most coherent.90 minutes from the Spurs first team in GHod knows how long....and we now have a win.

All that happened is the players simply worked harder out of respect for a better manager.

Against bottom of the league who have been walloped by West Ham and Leeds we managed and XG of 1.06 which includes 0.63 for the (pretty lucky) goal.

All I’m saying is I think he needs to find a way to get an attacking tune out of what he’s got. We’re not staying up averaging 1.06xg per game.

You can only get so much when you have Maddison, Kulu, Kudus, Odobert out, plus Solanke, Richarlison and Bergvall not fully fit. Plus no fit natural left back and your best passer out from the back Romero out. He has now lost Xavi and Solanke. Hard work will have to be enough. And if it isn't, so be it.

We don't have the players - no manager will turn this rabble in to an attacking force. If we stay up it will be ugly and it will require a lot of luck
