Omar Marmoush

Before we can properly judge Marmoush's suitability to the striker role we need to see him getting 5-7 consistent games played there with an actual AM behind him. Then we will know if he can play the role the way we need him to or not.

The lack of an AM has been killing the link between midfield and the attack all season. It's the primary reason even more so than the strikers as to why despite having the lions share of the ball we haven't really created enough clear cut chances.
 
We used to accept that players can take half a season to a full season to adapt to the team and the manager when Poch was in charge, now we get on their backs within months.

a) People have always complained when it’s deeply unclear what value a player brings
b) Especially when they were reasonably pricy, even if £60m isn’t what it used to be
c) If you want to see immediate and furious reaction here to the first performances of a Poch-era signing, have a look for the Sissoko thread
d) There’s a 100 page thread on Blue Moon which says all the same stuff that’s been said here about his lack of a natural position, his deficiencies, and his sole virtue being a powerful shot on goal when favourable circumstances allow. It gets more and more glum over the course of last season.
