“Those three give the offensive part of the game much more” – Thomas Frank praises progress of forwards

Richarlison heads into Sunday’s clash at Forest with four goals in his last six starts after ending a run of 10 without one while Mo has three goals involvements in his last four having not contributed to a goal since October.

Xavi meanwhile opened his goalscoring account for the Club on Saturday with his fine strike against Brentford. He also set up our opener in that game before following it up with another goal on Tuesday as we defeated Slavia Prague in the Champions League.

“I don’t think we’ve actually taken the handbrake off. Football is so beautifully simple sometimes but also so complicated. I think a lot about the relationships, the team being in sync, players being sharp and in form all at same time helps,” Thomas said.

“Three players I would like to mention of course. Richy is probably in, not in his best form ever maybe, but in a very good place and also physically. Mo Kudus is, after the great start to the season, a little dip and a minor injury, back in full energy, looking sharp. Xavi is performing at a good top level.

“So those three together, just give the offensive part of the game much more.”
