The real problem up front is not the strikers but the feed. Ever since "we" decided to go with the inverted wingers the feed has dried up for the strikers. Start with the wingers in their (correct) positions and see if that works for a few games and if it doesn't then go back to the inverted wingers again. If it's working then the inverted wingers can switch during the game. Didn’t bolasie and wilf swap sides during a game. Teams set up for wilf left and olise right. Swap it over in game and try getting the ball in early. Not hard to try it. Nothing else changes on the pitch.

I don’t disagree but doubt we’ll see e.g Olise on the left and Zaha on the right . Think, How often do you see a winger going down the line and hitting an outswinging deep cross to the far post these days? Originally posted by cryrst

Nothing else changes on the pitch. I've thought this for a while. They should be natural enough actual wingers, rather than inside forwards and there's no particular reason they couldn't swap during games. Except stubbornly sticking to tactics that aren't working at all. Or playing players where they want to play, which I bet doesn't wash with you or me. They can play where they're told to play and do a job or get dropped.

Apart from City with Haarland, none of the teams you mentioned really have a proper CF. Now not saying that JPM is a proper forward, but if you put in 5/10 crosses a game, I'd fancy him to get on the end of a couple. As much as it pains me to say it, its what killed Benteke. He was great in the first season, but we stopped crossing.

I am not suggesting that if Wilf goes left wing during the game he is pulled off just that if we use a CF then the inverted winger is used as a shock tactic. We have 3 CFs (including Ayew) why??
Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course). |

Most teams below us have games in hand. Look at the table - I didn't realise how bad it was until yesterday. Leicester have a game in hand and two points behind. West Ham have two games in hand. A win is needed.

I hadn't been looking and it came up on Sky yesterday. I didn't know it was that dire. A loss is going to be unacceptable, as you point out. Leicester at least, but likely a few teams will leapfrog us.

I'd imagine in the run towards the end of season there will be a fair bit of leapfrogging with about 4 points separating 9 teams now, I think, can't be bothered to look. The less involved we are in that the happier I will be.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |
