But don't tell us all week he's not a striker then play him as a striker whilst leaving the strikers out and then not winning. Which other strikers?????? I guess what he is saying is that his options are so bad that he is having to play the player he doesn't consider to be a striker as a striker because the rest offer less. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Fair enough, not seen his performances...looked quality at the start so hopefully just a blip. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
