Can’t be too disheartened with that performance today but can’t help but feel the front two that started today won’t start too many more together. Robinson especially has done very little in the 3 games we’ve played. He was skipping past league 2 defenders for fun in pre season but I’m not sure he’s beaten his man much at all in the league. Because of his lack of physicality it falls to Didsy to be the focal point and hold the ball up which isn’t his strong suit. In games where we domainate the ball a bit more didsy and Robinson may work but feel as a pair they lack the physicality to press the opposing centre halves back and as such get us up the pitch. It was there to see how much Leicester retreated once McBurnie came on. Freeman does a great job of taking men out the game and going past players so I’d sooner see McBurnie and Didsy up top at Chelsea to give us that slightly more direct option when we are under the cosh. Still it’s early days and we’ve made a very solid start and been in all 3 games we’ve played.
