This is how I feel. Despite the 433's there hasn't been much pace on balls across and in to him in the box. Of course he's had chances and he should have taken them all a lot better bar his header. I still don't think he's getting the chances he needs to break his duck and kick off again. I'm hoping he does.
I think balls slid into his feet are where he really prospers when he can get a shot away first time but that's a real rarity now whereas in his first few months we played on the front foot and gave him those opportunities all the time.
The chance he had yesterday, when the ball came into him on the 6 yard box and he decided to try and take it down... A year ago, he would have attempted to leather it in. He's got no confidence whatsoever.
I still think he's an average striker. Went through a purple patch when he signed and scored some absolute screamers that he would probably would never score again eg goals vs Chelsea, Swansea and even the Villa one.
