The last two games produced different tactics for us to overcome.
Newcastle defended in numbers and depth which we found difficult to breakdown and got caught on the break. Watford pressed and competed and we still couldn't find the space and creativity to break them down.
Siggy was poor in both matches which puts a strain on Gana and Gomes when facing the oppositions four man midfield and makes it a lot easier to hit us on the break.
Against Watford Bernard put in a shift and showed some brilliant one touch balls to release his team mates down the left. A better substitution would have been to take Siggy off, switch Bernard into the AM, move Ricky to the LW and bring on DCL as the central striker.
Also, Walcott despite the occasional cameo is not worth his place.
Finally, a word of support for DCL and Lookman, there is a player in both youngsters but if anyone thinks the odd game or last fifteen minutes is sufficient for them to deliver to the level expected is deluded.
Like in any sport confidence is a major factor and unfortunately you don't gain confidence by having limited opportunities to impress, it just increases the pressure to perform.
Both need a six game unbroken run to do themselves justice and with Walcott and recently Siggy failing to really contribute the downside risk is minimal to overall performance and could very well improve the team.
Without doubt it would prove if both players have what it takes.

Good post Fancy, I personally think we went wrong bringing on all three attackers, I would have swapped Walcott for Lookman, if taking Bernard off then switched Richarlison to the left, stuck Calvert Lewin as the main striker and swapped The injured Gaye for Tom Davies.

For me too many forwards clumped together who were not getting the quality ball from either flank or behind being played to them due to lack of personnel in midfield being over run and closed down, once that was cut out we had no supply to the strikers.

As the saying goes, too many chiefs in attack Andy not enough behind them.

Lookman not good enough.

Not yet GB I agree. Still young though. that's why he has not been picked. Not lack of ability. lack of maturity.

He is certainly good enough GB. He needs a run of games as Fancy says. Managers tend to persist with players us fans think lost form for various reasons not least because they have their favourites that is human nature. Likewise that makes it difficult for those coming through.
