Defenders 'afraid' of 'work in progress' Brobbey
Brian Brobbey needs to believe in himself more, says former Sunderland striker Marco Gabbiadini. The Black Cats forward produced an impressive display in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Arsenal, but needs a stronger "striker's instinct" if he wants to help Sunderland get results.
Former Sunderland striker Marco Gabbiadini believes Brian Brobbey needs to bolster his confidence to become a more effective striker for the Black Cats. During a recent interview on BBC Radio Newcastle, Gabbiadini praised Brobbey's physical presence, noting that defenders are intimidated by his strength. However, Gabbiadini advised the young forward to believe in himself more, as he missed a potential scoring opportunity during the recent 2-0 loss to Arsenal.
Gabbiadini pointed out that Brobbey could have controlled the ball more confidently and shot quickly to secure the goal, rather than leaving it to his teammates. The striker's potential is evident, but he must develop a stronger striker's instinct and self-assurance to maximize his impact in the Premier League.
