Is there a player in the league who has a bigger gap in quality between home and away performances?

WTF was that spinning move he did to beat 2 players!?! I had a good view of it from where we’re sat and I’m still not sure what he did!

I can think of a whole squad full. At least since mid March

I think it's about time he had far more protection from refs. assaulted again today badly don't want anything special just fair treatment.The grabbing round the neck should have been a sending off.
Thought he had a brilliant game today both attacking and defending and that touch of skill right in front of us class

He’s a good player. At home we get it to him more which is the problem only difference. His delivery is the best in the squad

I think the gap in output home and away is a consequence of how much support MVE gets from his centre backs which allows him to provide an overlapping run or a short pass to Sakamoto. Tatsu does his best work over 5-10 yards with either a quick interchange, pass, or by moving defenders left and right to create space and without MVE there so much he loses some of that.
I do think though that in recent games Rudoni has drifted out to that side a lot more and is creating triangles with Tatsu and MVE which creates lots of attacking potential. I wonder if that part is in turn a consequence of Sheaf being back in the team and his positional play being superior (IMO) to that of Allen.
The thing I love most about Tatsu is his attitude, he never moans or sulks, works his arse off, is not selfish, just a proper team player willing to run himself into the ground even when he’s getting little for it.

Sakamoto’s defensive work was impressive today. It’s a really smart tactical tweak from the management to have Sakamoto defend really narrowly to support the CMs. Credit to MVE and Sakamoto today, they covered a lot of ground between them.

I think it was a massive factor in why we never conceded.

Sakamoto (and/or Sheaf) is probably the best player in the squad in winning the ball/tackling when joining a tackle as a second man.
It’s one of those niche roles that managers are increasingly doing where they deliberately leave a player or two to effectively mark two players simultaneously.
Smart from Lamapard and his team!

At home Saka is receiving the ball 15+ yards inside the opposition half. Away from home he’s getting it on the halfway line.

Isn’t he a LW? I’m sure that where he’s come on in his cameos.

Saka's footwork to create the cross for Rudi's first is genuinely world class.
It's not just a case of flapping back and forth and hoping the defender stumbles - there is so much intention there to create that yard that allowed him to deliver.

Sakamoto’s final ball is the difference. It’s regularly better than other deliverers such as Wright, MVE or EMC. Rudoni is good as well but is also needed on the other end of them.
