With all the criticism of Evil and us not scoring goals I thought I'd add my opinion on what I think is going wrong. In a nutshell its our midfield, in particular central midfielders.
Evil has come in for a lot of criticism recently and I agree he's not fit but without slagging Mullers off, he hasnt done anything yet this season. BUT In my opinion it isnt both of the strikers fault, they just aren't getting the service. We've always been a team who create lots of chances in games but this season we havent been making them.
As I said before i think the problem is the midfield. Our central midfield is made up of two defensive minded players, with no flair or real attacking threat. That doesn't mean I'm slagging them off, it just means we haven't got that mould of a central midfielder who will provide the link to the strikers, just as Craney did, and score 10 goals a season and create. I think someone like that has to be brought in. The other problem with the midfield is the left hand side. I like Shaun Whalley but, as a sub. Boco isnt a left midfielder and our final ball especially from the left is poor.
Both Mullers and Evil are having to drop too deep as we havent got that link from midfield to attack, in a way they are trying to do too much and its frustrating for them and for us to watch as they are just marked out of the game.
Last season we scored in nearly every single game, we were the second highest scoring team in the league and we made lots and lots of chances. It just seems this season from the three games we aren't creating and making chances for the strikers which then leads to them, well Evil, being criticised.
How much did Swansea want for Craney?
