I think the main reason for not creating chances is not having enough options to play too, more specifically not enough forward thinking players looking to get beyond the last man. There are plenty of attack minded players in the team but most of it is in front of the defence, Lamela is another of those. I would happily exchange Lamela for a player who looks to get into the box more and provide a ball for the creative players. I particularly enjoyed seeing Dele Alli continue his run into the box for his goal, it's something I felt Paulinho should have done more.Not sure on that one. We haven't exactly created a boatload of chances so far this season, and whilst N'Jie will hopefully provide some help in that area I think there's significant work to be done on the creativity side.
Doesn't preclude a striker though.
