I wish I could pin our offensive woes on Nedved's absence. But I cannot. This has been a nagging problem since November.
Before then, our bench could score a lot more. Our attack was more threatening. We didn't seem to struggle as much for every single goal we could muster.
Since then, it's been an uphill battle to put anything in the net. Unfortunately, I do not see this improving much even with Nedved's return.
dont get me wrong, i do not believe neddy will solve the solution. As i sed, its a team game, and we jus dont work it well enough. Neddy was bought to make the team more orientated rathe one man Zizou orientated.....we still are one man orientated.
Maybe Pace is lacking, maybe its the killer passing, maybe its quality wing play. But really we lack all of that. They have realised the Z-Neddy combo and are now neutralising it. Throwin Zala on doesnt really mix it up much.......
Imho we have lucky to get were we have been with Z on fire and neddy still giving it his all. Now camo throwing sum stuf in is helping...But thats it. Miccoli and Enzo would have been usefull to crack open Messina.
Mutu better add killer pass's to his forte otherwise we will need find it elswhere.
