Finding a way to get Sara and Nunez and Cantwell all firing like they did for a bit after coming on today, but with Hayden also playing behind them (obviously he had to come off)...I think Hayden on the pitch and Nunez either doesn't give the ball away there for their goal or we're not as open when he does.
That obviously means not have Sargent as a creative deadzone taking up space on the wing but using him and pukki in rotation (1 subbing on for the other and keeping them both super fresh). We know Pukki at 90% is like a 30% effective Pukki so this could be a brilliant recipe for us.
McLean offers respite for Sara or Nunez, Gibbs for Hayden, Hernandez, Dowell and Ramsey all offer places alongside Cantwell behind the striker.
If we can get it working and set up some proper f**king patters for how we bring it out the back (rather than just playing it to the full back k to get pressed against the touchline), I could see some optimism
