so we won against burnley not a great game by all accounts but the 3 points were needed so we will take it...now not having been to the game I only saw highlights and burnley seemed to have more than enough chances to level the score....heard we controlled the game but with one upfront we are finding it hard to score....maybe asking a lot of slav but please lets start with two upfront against hull get the goals and then revert to one up and pack the middle of the park...easier to defend a two/three goal lead than a single goal...we managed it yesterday just but we know it wont always be the story.
Yes... or Carroll up front
Yes... or Carroll up front with Antonio just behind to get the knock-downs, Ayew and Payet on the wing, Obiang and Noble in the centre of midfield and then a back four of Cress, Kouyate, Reid/Ogbonna, Arbeloa and of course Randolph/Adrian in goal.
Imo carroll on his own up front
Just doesnt work,unless you pepper the box with crosses,which im afraid we are not doing much of late...
Either play him with another striker,ie antonio or fletcher,or i personally would like to see ,payet,lanzini & ayew linking up together...
We just dont seem to be able
We just dont seem to be able to get men into the box ,theres no penetration at all
Fletcher
Fletcher would be perfect upfront with Carroll. He has the pace to get on the end of the flick-ons. The others unfortunately don't.
Antonio surely does??
Antonio surely does??
He does.
He does. You're right. But I'm assuming he's on the wing
