Burnwinter If I had to make a wager I'd say a superb back half of 23–24 might have reduced the urgency around signing forwards last summer.
Fully agree with this, we had an exceptional back end to the season which is not normal and allowed us to fall into the trap of maybe we don't need to address the attacking side of our game as urgently because look at the goals we got.
Can’t take my eyes off this goal
Claudius didn't realize in real-time how much of a blatant penalty that was. 
QuincyAbeyie glad he stayed on his feet because without VAR who knows what transpires
Great that Jesus got the advantage but that is a suicidal tackle by the defender totally brainless should have just stayed on his feet and presented an obstacle. I did not understand why he went for a slide really but Jesus got the rub with that and took his chance which you need sometimes. His 3rd was a bit like that because if I remember correctly Henderson did an early dive rather then just stay big another thing I didn't understand why
. But he needed some luck to break.
But absolutely if he manages to string a run together we have to use it to get him moved on whatever happens now he isn't what we need.
Chalógach basically gifted us 3 goals. Jesus took them superbly but it's rare to see defenders give us such chances. I think players are just less switched on in league cup games
Pepe LeFrits Chalógach
Quite a good nickname for Jesus. 
How the fuck does Jesus finish like that but look absolutely shite in front of goal the majority of the time?
Lukazan Tbh his first touch wouldn't have beaten any decent defender. And his chip was also mishit. I'll take it, but I'm not counting on him making a habit of stuff like this.
I was more impressed with the other two goals. Those were quite nicely hit, no dilly-dallying, just smash it into the bottom corner.
Hopefully that was the boost he needed, usually a confidence player so we'll see how he performs today as a starter.
We might have to repurpose Martinelli into a RW. His head down running down the byline and looking to cross move is far more effective when he's doing it on his stronger foot.
daredevil think he played well and being able to cross on his right is certainly favourable rather than on his weaker foot. However his overall performance, not just the goal or the assist, but the amount of times he's getting on the ball and having the fullback and Odegaard combining with him just gives you more confidence.
He is no Saka, but that not a stick to beat him with because no player in the PL is. But one thing going for players on the right side of our team, is that each one has another 2 top quality players around them to play triang;es with. The left side is sorely missing that though with MLS and Cala this may be getting resolved. The issue with the left 8 is still one we are having.
If we are to bring in some forwards (LOL) we should definitely be keeping Martinelli as our solid rotation option on either wing and moving Trossard/Jesus on.
