Quiet game again. He's just not getting the service without Wirtz in the team. Mo and Gakpo are providing nothing for him.
VOTE JOCKY tae fix this fiasco.

No. Him and Ibou and Mo..it must affect them, their energy levels. If we had a bigger injury free squad I might rest him more, rotate more. But needs must. He was quiet, but maybe only needs a moment to score.
Just saying it's a factor.
Master Tactician
He had zero support. Neither wingers did anything, The game absolutely passed Mac by and Szoboslai was asked to play as the deepest midfielder.
It's a combination of a poor tactical set up and players playing so poorly.

When Wirtz is on the pitch Ekitike comes alive. That can't be tactical.

He was played v 3 CBs should have moved him to LFWD & used a false 9 proven method against back 5’s

Hugo has been overly hyped being the one bright spark at times
But it’s a result of Slot’s changes and attempt to play Dutch football in the prem and misplaced belief in Gakpo
We need two wide forwards in the summer he bought 2 No9’s and Wirtz instead of
Wide forwards supported by full backs have always been the key to unlocking low blocks and back 5’s you need top quality in both
Master Tactician
That's true, but if you don't have a certain player available you have to adapt the tactic. Mac was deployed as some sort of sudo-10 last night and it did not work.
We could have played the wingers narrower or Szoboslai in his more natural 10 position.
It's fine playing Big Sam's way when you've got Kevin Davies up top, not so much if you've got Gianfranco Zola.

That’s not always true at all he’s assisted 3
The issue is and it’s a major one we’re no longer creating the tingles between full back midfielder and wide forward to work the space and release one of the 3 or tee the midfielder or full back up to cross from deep having opened the channel
If you watch enough games of other teams this is the most frequent way of getting goals against all comers including low blocks and back fives
