He wins 42.7% of his aerial duals which doesn't seem a lot but puts him in the top 30% of strikers in the division. As @ForeverAddickted says, our players need to get better at anticipating where his headers are going

But when Aneke is on we seem to keep the ball off a lot more of his flick ons? So I’d suggest it’s an Ahadme problem rather than a problem with the runners anticipation 

Is that because Aneke brings the ball down to feet a bit more? - e.g. that lovely control against Rotherham for example

He's also got the strength to hold off most opponents

Yes I think it’s both of those, but that’s just because Aneke is better than Ahadme. He can’t receive with his back to a defender like Aneke can and isn’t as strong (is anyone?) 

So my point is that the runners are in the right positions, it’s just Ahadme isn’t always good enough to find them

Here are our average positions for the match according to sofascore.com. Interesting how close Berry & Coventry are and that Doc is pulling much wider

Has Berry spent time as the RCM and LCM? That would explain his position averaging out to the middle.

Nope, he's only played LCM and this is isolated to that one game. He has been wider for others.
