3 good chances to score (scoring 1 of the 3) and should’ve had an assist for Gallagher as well. That’s typically good output for a CF

The first chance was close to “sitter” territory though. In the end not that difficult for the keeper.

He needs to be more ruthless. Always thought he seems to relaxed as a person (prob a very nice guy) needs more of a killer instinct

I give De Zerbi credit for standing by him. I hope we upgrade ASAP and we will need what we can wring from him until then. And it has to be an upgrade, a real one...otherwise we're best waiting.

Whatever anyone thinks of Solanke, as a point of managerial leadership to make him captain I thought was a really interesting thing to see. It’s these little cultural / team building moments that will lay the foundation for what will hopefully be an excellent second half of the season. He’s saying to his striker that I’m behind you, and we’re all behind you, and that’s a nice touch.

I think Solanke is miles better than what he is showing FWIW. I think it’s fitness, not ability that is dictating his output.

I think its age. His body is suddenly behaving like a 40 year old, rather than what you' expect for his 30. We've seen it before with Dembele and Verts when players hit very sudden cliff edges

I think, given the extraordinarily insane injury crisis we had for two seasons straight, I’m willing to see what it’s like when these players actually get up to something resembling a run in the team. If it’s true what was said above that it’s his first completed 90 mins in a couple of years, that’s crazy. Think about our Peak Poch team and how many of those players would finish 90 routinely each week. All in top condition ready to perform.

Solanke has not consistently played for two years. And I think a lot of conclusions are being drawn on him which aren’t fair. He’s clearly not in form, but his ability is way higher than what he is showing right now.
