I feel for Brewster, (Not too much as he's earning some good money compared to me!)
Little over 12months ago and he was being touted as a future England striker about to break into Liverpool side.
His performances in the few Liverpool appearances he had inc friendlies and at Swansea suggested this was a young player with potential. I still think this is the case actually, perhaps not as promising as he was sold to us though....
What's transpired is he came to us, and we were a bit broken. For a start we weren't creating enough generally and he was trying to get used to the system we played.
The longer a drought goes on too the more it effects your confidence too, shame his effort that hit the post for instance vs Newcastle didn't go in etc. (Might not have changed the season much but might have done him some good)
By all accounts he has a lethal and powerful finish on him. So why isn't he scoring?
Positioning and runs....
All strikers miss chances, but a good striker will get themselves chances upon chances. When we knock say Sharp for missing one, invariably he gets another and scores either during the match or the next game. This is part and parcel of being a good striker.
I do think Brewster can improve on this though, and getting a goal or two would probably see this happen too. But at the min, he's still so short on confidence and probably overthinks/does too much running at times. Sometimes you need to stay still and peel off the defender, keep it simple. You don't often score when your on the corner of the box etc. which is where he's found himself too much when he's played. Be good to see him subbed on for Sharp sometimes too instead of for Ndiaye etc and playing wider.
I think he's a central type of striker.
