I mean the fans didn’t want Almiron or Murphy and then Howe played them into a run of form. There are a lot of fans who like Wood who have to keep their heads down, but pop up in force when he has a good game.
Wood has taken a really long time to get going. However, a team sitting third or fourth in the PL shouldn’t be looking at one miss and blaming that striker against a [omg League One] championship team.
If they’ve only created one good look then that should be the reason for the inquest. Most PL teams pummel the goal in these fixtures. Isak and Wilson have missed shockers in their games too, but seem to have more credit stored up.
Edit: that is quite a miss! Thought there might have been a bobble. But there should have been 5-6 similar chances created in that second half given the disparity between the teams. Often top team strikers will miss those, but pick up two more in a win so the miss is forgotten.
