Giving him a new contract was a bad decision.
This is typical Eddie. Selfish and lazy.
In real time I felt he should have passed it
In replays nothing changed my mind
That should be printed on his shirt
The shot was not powerfull enough. Thats the issue. R
That is not a simple square pass.
I dont think many players have that pass in them in the prem.
I do rhink that most strikers get more behind the shot amd score.
Mbueno from brentford probabl buries that.
Work on shot power.
This. I don’t mind my striker being selfish the issue was it was a horrible shot.
Needed both power and curve.
He has Trossard, who is a wizard in the penalty box, making a run, a simple little pass into him. He can pass to Saka early. He can still try the tight pass, put a little pace on it, it’s doable. Really, he should be looking to get the ball to almost anybody else, especially Trossard and Saka who can both dribble, shoot, and pass, and get himself into position to receive a pass or knock in a rebound.
Lets agree to disagree.
I had another look at this vid and another angle.
Leo’s run there is more of a space maker imho. I would preffer the #9 take a shot rather than move the ball out wide.
Despite the commentry there was no square pass.
I think eddie needed a better strike on the ball
Yeah on second watch that’s a really hard pass to make. Could easily get cut out
The issue is how bad the shot was……
He gotta get on that RVP training method.
It’s not a terrible decision but was just an absolute horror shot. No way you’re choosing bottom corner with the keeper positioned like that. Lift it at least
It is a terrible decision.
He does this week in week out and it’s maddening.
Championship level striker
Shambolic…Eddie is NOT him
He does this a lot
You just know, as soon as the ball lands on his feet, all he has in mind is “shoot”
Tunnel vision, selfish, lack of teamwork
That’s Eddie
Granted he’s a striker and sure he has every right to try and score
But that selfishness is what separates him from a decent striker to a good striker
Pass was so on. How many times does Odegaard easily pass this into the bottom corner
Eddie would be the equivalent of Haaland in the EFL Championship. 😬 Not good enough for PL.
Not even a good attempt. If you’re going for the selfish move, at least try to score. He shot weak and to the center. Try to lob it to the corner or something.
Eddie ain’t elite even though he thinks he is. He ain’t a player that’s gonna lead us to the title like Haaland of City would and can do. We really need to get an out and out striker that bangs in goals for fun.
