It's all about goals

None of us are qualified to say Bielsa's team choices are wrong – what do we know about football compared to the great man? – but the facts are there to be seen. Unless Nketiah is on the field, we haven't got a proven goalscorer. In his press conference, Bielsa addressed this and it sounded like he ruled it out on the grounds it would mean him dropping a player such as Klich. This game is all about goals – first and foremost we have to be putting the ball in the net, even if it means leaving ourselves a little more exposed: however many they score, we score more. We already have a level of possession and quality of build-play to make this possible. Ok the final ball is one of our achilles heels but with both Bamford and Nketiah up front, surely no-one could live with us.
