I fear we’re getting too carried away on the back of that Elche performance. Yes, Raphinha was excellent through the middle. Yes, we have options. But Elche defend higher and give you more space than the vast majority of La Liga sides. Their set-up fundamentally played right into our hands. What happens when you face a low block? If Hamza isn’t ready, not signing a striker at all is still a very big risk - even if I somewhat understand it. Reality is, we’re a very potent counter-attacking side. But without a reliable box threat, the solutions against low blocks could become extremely tricky.
