I think he has put on a quite a lot of weight after he got that injury in preseason and hasn't quite looked up to snuff. I think once he has got better fitness we will see him more regularly.
Also the Norwich game they had 17 shots with like 6 or 7 on target. But aside from their goal I can't think of any truly clear cut chances. We have also been reasonably unlucky with deflections with mings potentially causing us to concede 2 from range wilson and ndombele. 1 could have missed Heaton may have saved the other
All 3 games in which we were the better team by far until he went off. This is not necessarily causation but he clearly provides an outlet because he is so dangerous.
Whilst yes the 2 best teams had the best attackers but much more importantly they had by far the best midfields. Xavi iniesta and busquets were all the best midfielders in the world same with madrids Midfield trio as well.
I personally think we should offer him a final 1 year contract after this one is up. This is to show that we will take care of you if you put your body on the line for team success. What player would risk playing through injury if we treated Chester poorly.
