I really cannot believe the negativity shown by some towards these two after the Ipswich game.
FDB gave them a huge task by not picking a recognised striker, so they were often receiving the ball with their backs to goal which is clearly not playing to their strengths. Only towards the end did a change in formation let them run at defenders. Up until that we were pumping the ball up to them thinking they were Benteke.
I suggest that we should cast our minds back to when Wilf first broke into the team. Many could not see his potential, there were doubts about his physical strength. We were unsure of his best position, second striker or out wide ?
It takes a lot more than one game for the manager and all the other players to understand what their strengths are, how they can fit in to a system, and for them to gain the confidence to fully express their talents
We all moan about nobody breaking through from the academy, so lets not write these guys off too soon.
