I’ll say this again. Ole has got to do better with balancing the profiles of our attackers, even when he mixes things up to rest players. It’s always part of the reasons why we can’t sustain attackers and create little quality chances
You need to balance the profiles between players who look for goal, and players who look to play make and create chances for others
The front 4 we used yesterday:
3 players who are “score first” type players (Bruno, Rash, Mason) 1 player who is a “create first” type (pretends to be).
It’s not balanced. It’s too gung-ho, the team will never find rhythm with possession in the final third

You have those 3 players who will, more than likely, give the ball away in the final third because they constantly try to make things happen. It’s just their nature, but that puts so much pressure on the rest of the team to win the ball back and get it to them.
NOT SUSTAINABLE!
NOT SUSTAINABLE!
Then in the second half, we took off Mason to bring in Cavani. Now we added a player with less play making tendency than the player he replaced.
It’s no surprise we didn’t create any chance of note since that substitution
