He was dead on his feet for the last ten.I think he's been brilliant. He never stops running and pressing.
Did he pick up an injury near the end or was he just exhausted?

He has crazy physic and stamina absolutely and he does the pressing well but that doesnt make him a good footballer and especially for that amount. I see multiple people banging the Solanke drum about him being so so important to the team but i just cant see how.I'm not sure if you're being harsh on him but he is a pressing machine, and allows the rest of the team to get higher up the pitch.
Absolutely thankless task
He isn't a natural striker. He has made himself into a very good player through his work rate, and his application, but he is not top class striker.Working hard but just can’t get involved in the goals
I think a lot of people are in denial here. Yes his work rate is great, but we DO need more from him, we signed him to score goals and he hasnt had a shot in about 4 games. The money we have spent work rate is simply not enough. Mikail Antonio works hard, and you wouldn’t lay out £65m for him.
Antonio wouldn't do the job that Solanke does for our team, not even close.I think a lot of people are in denial here.

Possibly, but I think some of the praise others are giving him is way over the top and is based on the fact he is a shiny new signing and can do no wrong yet.Solanke scored what? 19 goals for Bournemouth? We know he can score a lot golas if given the chances.
I get the impression that the role he’s asked to play slightly hinders him from getting in to scoring position.
It’s just been a coupe of months. He’s in a new team, at a higher level, under a new manager, and he’s already fitting in really well. Let’s have some patience.
How many prolific goal scorers are in the EPL? Or European football in general?but not prolific goalscorers.

when he was injured for example we didnt need his ”importance” to trash Everton 4-0 (yes everton is everton) and where and how was he important against for example Palace or any other matches where he didnt even get a shot?
And also when the wingers have the ball on their flank to cross the ball it seems like Solanke more or less hides behind a defender, he doesnt take the runs infront defenders. He also takes alot of time to shoot when he actually gets a chance.
