Olivera becoming ‘blunt’ is not surprising at all.

He doesn’t fit our system. In another team that plays to his strengths he will probably score goals, although I don’t think he’s anywhere near as prolific a player that some of our fans like to imagine. There’s been far too much romanticism over Olivera based on the back end of last season I think.

He’s a good player, definitely knows where the goal is but just doesn’t fit our style of play. Farke doesn’t seem to be the type to build a system around one player either so wouldn’t surprise me to see him move on in the summer. In fact the only real surprise is that he didn’t leave in January.
