Do we lack a play maker in the middle? Is that the reason for the lack of goals? Seems we handle the midfield pretty well but when we move to the forward third we seem to be missing something. Our only consistent attack comes from the wings and while that isn't bad we seem to lack imagination in the middle whether our runs are mistimed or we have no one to create offense to put pressure on the defense. Maybe it's just me but that seems to be a pretty glaring weakness right now. Maybe some time to gel will help but once we get out of this weak part of the schedule we will need to score more.

Our defense seems solid but our competition hasn't been that great so I guess we will see.

What has been your impressions thus far?

I figured that we would need a couple games to really gel due to all the new faces we've brought in. I personally thought we were spoiled w/ Parker bc he did a real good job of setting people up and keeping everything in the middle flowing smoothly.

Use this next game vs Dinamo to really just practice working an attack from the middle for 90 minutes. We need everyone to be clicking when we play the Gooners this Sunday

I definitely think we lack a creative playmaker in through the middle. Wingers can only create so much with crosses and runs to the inside. If we found a solid central playmaker to help play in the final 3rd before the deadline I think that would see the most improvement in our scoring.
