No idea how Brewster keeps his place, apart from a goal from a very good free kick, he has looked fairly hopeless upfront, missing more than a few sitters.

He is frustrating, I think he is a decent striker I'm good form for Liverpool however I much prefer Loader. Much better all round player, stronger and I just can't see him missing the same amount of chances Brewster has. Loader is also a good finisher.

I think he has been hampered by playing CM and 10 for Reading. The coaches don't see him as a natural striker similar with CHO.

Brewster's touch from TOB pass was so poor

he does not seem to have peripheral vision (a major ingredient in the great players), has the ego the size of our new stadium (as opposed to our Harry)

I don't agree with the first point as much. He used to infuriate me as an u16 but has become a lot less selfish qnd creates a lot of goals. While it is dependent on the finisher and not always reflect the truth just look at his assists for both tournaments. Your view reads as if you're talking about start of last season.

Additionally and to go with the 2nd pic t confidence or ego isn't a bad thing. Having the belief you cab beat anybody isn't bad as long as it isn't to the detriment of the team and you can't say Sancho isn't hugeky effective. Just look at the Kane thread there are still people calling Kane slightly selfish and he should look to pass. It's the sign of a good player you try the difficult stuff. If you're good enough and it comes off you're quality, if you don't selfish or lack vision. 8m fee could be a steal no better winger than him at his age ATM. Again re the ego however you determine that. He turned down the largest contract offered to someone of his age to love abroad to get game time. Shows he wants the best for his career

Why he take ToB off again when McEachran been dross
I think you could have taken either off. TOB was equally poor.doesnt do enough.happy to just stand behond his man too much.needs to want the ball more.kirby did more in 10mins than tob in 70.
