I could only watch the end of the match, but just checked the highlights and I saw it differently.
Cyborg was still occupying the space between the CBs, still making the same runs in behind like he does every game. The difference in the bigger matches is the service will not be the same going against quality players in well drilled teams.
The Palmer goal I would put that down to the defender getting sucked in ball watching.
He had 22 touches against Burnley and 15 today. He already is barely involved, bigger matches just means he’s going to have to convert with even less opportunities. Other top forwards face the same problems, the ones that normally perform at or around what they normally produce are the ones that are able to get on the ball and help their team in the build up phase through dribbling or passing.
He’ll eventually score in a final though, he’s too good of a finisher not to.
