No he isn't

When he came in and did a star turn two seasons ago it was when Leitner got injured at Blackburn in December. We still had Onel, Stiepi & Emi as the three behind Pukki.

Stiepi seems a real miss, as his more physical presence up there allowed us to play longer, earlier balls from the back which he could hold up or flick on to link with the others before the defence could get set. None of the players we are playing in the 'three' now have that presence so we are forced to play endless short balls to feet, which means by the time we get near the opposition penalty area we are always facing two banks of four which (especially now Hugill is injured) we struggle to make any impression on as here's no space for our passing.
