Did you? He spent the entire time wrestling the defenders trying to win free kicks, on the occasions he had the ball in a good position rather than giving it to the men in space he tried audacious shots that flew well wide, his teammates were clearly pissed off with his decisions

ALL strikers spend most of the game wrestling with defenders. Trying audacious shots is part and parcel of being a striker.

Hugill's the obvious comparison to Ikpeazu, he does his fair share of wrestling with defenders, but his main aim is to win the ball, control it and bring others into play. Ikpeazu when he came on was backing into defenders to the detriment of actually getting the ball, controlling it and bringing others into the game. His main aim was to win free kicks and the ref quickly saw what he was doing

Taking audacious shots from outside the box when there's far better options on is not part and parcel of a striker's game, it's part and parcel of a poor striker's game.

He was probably told to shoot on the back of his super strike in training this week

Strikers are meant to shoot and they do sometimes miss
