The comparisons to last season are plentiful, very similar start but then HBA bailed him out against Fulham. Also in last season's home game against Palace HBA came off the bench and again bailed him out providing the assist for Cisse's goal.
The point I'm making is the way we are playing now we get the ball wide a lot. Cabella is being doubled up on already because there is no point in marking Dummett, and if Gouffran's over that side then again, you may aswell just let him cut inside and hit it off you as that is what always happens. Alternatively, Janmaat gets forward and either crosses to one person or cuts inside and shoots due to lack of alternatives. HBA would really be the ideal man to be playing wide right in this formation, we've had plenty of the ball and could do with his magic in lieu of a goalscoring striker. Unfortunately, we're managed by a fuckwit, so I'm looking forward to Saturday's 0-0.
The team is desperate for HBA. Sadly we're going to get more Gouff and Obertan...
What's sad is that we all know what the best team is, but our manager refuses to play the one person that would make that squad happen.
