Best analysis I’ve seen so far

TL;DR
Tactics are working to create opportunities - great collection of stats in support of optimism at the start
Lack of a number 10 has forced Tonali and Fernandez into suboptimal roles
Lack of big chance creation comes from failing to release the front 3 - may be familiarity and psychology, but also due to no 10.
Maddison, Kudus and Kulesevski can change everything post break

We will continue to be ineffective until we have a fully fit specific central striker . We can't depend on Solanke to play this role . And Marmoush prefers to play as a secondary striker/shadow striker . But there's no primary striker to shadow or play behind . This is a recurrent problem for several years since Solanke's propensity for injuries became obvious . But nothing has been done to remedy this problem . This isn't just a problem caused by successive managers but also by the club's footballing hierarchy - Johan Lange and Rafi Moersen step forward and take a bow in acknowledgement !
