So they don't have to be at their best to win games.
I think the one they missed most today, the single biggest reason, and I would put it just behind the state of the pitch, would have been Eriksen.
Eriksen, time and time again, comes up with that clever pass, that either-needle pass that splits defences and creates openings.
Yeah, I think they're missing the hardest thing, just goals.
You know, goals, you don't have to be playing well.
If you've got a goal-getter, he'll win you games.
But I think their football's more than good enough.
They create things, but they just haven't got... Charlie Austin's out, top goal scorer with just six.
They've got...
The one, maybe the most important thing in a football team, the boy who puts the ball in the back of the net, they don't really have an outstanding one of them.
And a lot of the football is more than good enough.
I come back to, if you're not scoring goals, you can be playing some wonderful football, but it's a drain on the confidence if you're not winning games because you're not putting your chances away.
You're far better to be playing badly and nicking games because you've got an outstanding goalscorer.
Spend it all on a striker.
As I said, I think a lot of the football is more than good.
All of it?
Well, you know, the inflated prices today.
I mean, it's the hardest thing to find.
Historically, strikers are the most expensive.
They're the hardest ones to get.
