We desperately, desperately need to buy a striker in the summer or we ain't going nowhere.
I don't think we have a hope in hell of signing Haaland so who else is out there?
I'm throwing in a leftfield (and cheap) option into the mix: I have been so impressed with Ivan Toney at Brentford every time that I've him play - a natural goalscorer and a great leader of the line.

I normally go and see Brentford once a season but obviously not this year.
Is he a Premiership player MDW?

I don't believe our main problem is our center forward.
We don't create high quality chances and that's been the case since TT took over and we probably had the same problems before as well.
I have said it lots of times: transition from defence to offence is slow and poor.
A brand new striker won't make things better when there is no service.
HZ and Pulisic were truely awful today.

We all see games differently Ashk.
For me Havertz made some good intelligent runs but should have taken at least one chance. He was generally ok.
Pusilic had a strange game. Good in bursts and worked a lot harder than he has in his latest cameos. I think he was unlucky to be hooked but maybe he still isn’t 100% fit.

There’s no one in midfield like a Cesc looking for a killer pass. Jorginho and Kovacic just pass it between them and Kante isn’t that player. We need identities there again. A proper holding midfielder and a creative one I. e Fabregas and Matic.

Sorry Ashk, I thought HZ stood for Havertz.
Ziyech looks to me as if he should spend a month or two in the gym.

Definitely that is the case MadMontana. I have nothing against Kova and Jorgi, but these guys won't win you big games and trophies like CL and PL.
Kante is just lovely to have and his job is not creating chances.
Yeah Tom I thought Havertz was good as well, but I don't think he is a proper no.9.
