It’s almost as if we didn’t have Mitoma or Pedro in attack.
Still had Lamptey and Adingra on the flanks.

Anyway, regardless of injuries and selections, the issue is the usual - for the most part, still slowing it down to walking pace in the final 3rd and trying to walk it in. Until we retrieve those swift positive one-touch transitions, we will remain a piece of piss to defend against, and will end up getting picked off. That Welbeck goal at Anfield last month is the only one we've scored in the PL that actually came from a BHA move, as opposed to some clown college f*ck-up from the opposition, since Dunks header v Everton back in Feb.

In terms of attacking impetus, we are now shocking.

Yep. Just 5 goals in the last 10 games since Sheff Utd and 2 of them were own goals! Shocking.

Difficult to disagree with this unfortunately.
If Potter was our manager, he'd be getting pelters for how we've played over the last couple of months. In fairness to RDZ however the injury situation hasn't really helped.

If you look at certain sections of social media, RDZ IS getting pelters. Agreed though that Potter would be getting quite a lot more in the same situation.

It's unfair on RDZ, and indeed also on Potter. They're just following the same path - arrive abd change to a more exciting style, get g some great early results but start conceding a lot on the break, and after a while find the rest of the league have worked you out. It takes time to adapt to this during which period the style becomes staid and results frustrating. Eventually Potter came out the other side with results matching performances and a lot fewer goals conceded. I hope, given time, RDZ will do the same.
