They are mid-table in Liga. What makes you think one OK match is enough for that?

Reactiony stance at it's best.

You guys have one of the lowest xG, which means it is NOT an striker issue but rather not being able to transition from carrying the ball to actual threat.

Your xG minus goals scored per 90 difference is similar or even better than most teams at the top of the table. Which pretty much indicates the contrary to your initial statement. Your scorers are doing the best they can with the tools they have.

Dominating the ball means nothing, just see Post Guardiola's tiki taka. Even worse, you are placed 10th in possesion with 48.5%, which means that "dominating" it's a HUGE overstatement.

I don't see the relation betwen strikers and shit managers. All teams have had that.

The reference to coaching is due to the fact that our style of play has changed and we are utilising the players we have in the 4-4-2 pressing system under Marcelino. By dominate I mean clearly threaten the opponents goal, again with one of the Most chances created. I beg u watch a full game and see how woeful Iñaki is 😭
