Toothless.

Get Tillman on for Lundstram and let Jack play as the pivot.

The link-up from middle to front is not good at all.

Why are we getting out-muscled?! FFS.

I agree with you, there.

Sakala, Kent and a #8 should be occupying the box.

Yilmaz playing as the #10 now with Kent as the wide player. It's a form of positional play, which is common in the elite sides.

He's not 'playing wide'. He's playing as part of a front-two; one of them has to drift when the ball is at their side. When he's really out of position, he's just covering for others, as he should.

A FB should not be behind the CB. Goldson's playing him on.

I think that's Goldson's fault.

We're just giving them a head start to make a game of it...

I, too, am extraordinarily humble.

Just swap out Kent for Tillman: McGregor Tavernier - Goldson - Davies - Barisic Raskin - Jack - Cantwell Tillman Sakala - Colak

Is this partly caused by the events at Hampden? It just seemed like a lot of running away, to me... 🐔

I don't think Piroe is a pure striker, like Toney and Maupey. The Watkins comparison is more apt, I think. But, you're right: we should be signing them before their breakthrough. Saying that, he's only got a year left on his contract...

@der Berliner - You know what to do! Summer Transfer Thread!

I can't find a table of conversion rates to compare, but Piroe has a 9.2% conversion rate with the highest in the league having around 14%. Haaland's conversion rate is 23.3%; Kane is 16.4%. If you look at team conversion rate, Burnley and Middlesbourough (the highest scorers in the league) have an 11.8% conversion rate. Sheff Utd, who are second, have a 9.1% conversion rate. I don't think Piroe's conversion rate is that bad; it's not spectacular. Piroe's xG is 15.2, including 2 penalties, so I'd say he's scoring as many as he should be scoring; He's maybe under-performing a little. He scored 22 goals from an xG of 12.2 last season which is a huge over-performance; perhaps not sustainable. Bare in mind that he has played 10 games as a winger and #10. Here's his comparative stats versus other forwards in his league:

Oh, yes! There was a Blackpool player. I even posted about it...
