Hernandez up front.

so apparently Bilic wanted Hernandez last season as well. so this means that this is a striker he has been looking to work with for a good while now. so I'm no football mastermind but surely if this is the case he has to have thought about how to utililize him as best as possible? i looked back at some leverkusen line ups and chichirito was up front in a 2 with a player sitting just behind him at times. at man u when he came on usually from the bench he went up front in a two or three to rescue the game. it just makes no sense to me playing him as a lone striker. in the first half v southampton he was practically not in the game as there was no service to him, when he did get the ball he was too deep. now harry for example would see him as a kitson, cottee or similar and play hartson or dowie etc alongside him. the big man to get his head to the ball, bully defenders around and basically hold it up for the small man to get onto. if you play one up front it means the lone striker has the full attention of the back 2 or 3. if you put someone alongside him then the very least that player takes one defender away giving him more space. now i know modern football is all about being boring and smothering the midfield but why can't bilic see that in the two rubbish games we've played so far hernandez came to life when he desperately changed it to a more attacking line up? even with sakho alongside him it looked far better, or antonio up there. you can't play 4-4-2 i know, its a dinosaur of a formation they say, its been killed off by 4-2-3-1, but teams in germany are still using it to good effect. just imagine if carroll is fit and we have him and chichirito up front. carroll would take 2 defenders off him for a start, leaving a gaping hole in the defence. or is the gaping hole in Bilic brain?
