What do you expect when you keep playing a no.9 as CM? You kill off his confidience, hence that painful miss early on.
I think Bamford get’s way too much credit here and he has had a dreadful start to the season. Going forward MB should rotate between Rodrigo and Bamford at the top.
It’s unfair if you give Bamford 38 starts, of course any decent striker will score in every other match. If you had given Rodrigo so many starts at top he would have collected 20+ goals.
