In contrast to Ameobi who also looks off balance and awkward but can get a shot away.He rarely gets any power behind his shots, very rarely hits a clean strike. He then proceeds to fall over.
I think he always seems off balance before getting his shots off. It’s poor technique.
Like you I don’t doubt his effort, even his link up play is decent. But with the game time he’s had, to not score since 10th December (22 games!) is inexcusable.
He also hasn’t assisted since Blackburn at home in October.
