Who should play centreforward ?

Post by clockender1 »

So RvP's off then....

Which begs the question - how should the forward line look ? - we splashed out on Giroud and Podolski, so you have to think they will be involved somehow, along with the highly talented Ox.

Cheers

I'd like to see Walcott pushed up there with Giroud and revert back to a 4-4-2.

we could be back to playing with two of them - maybe podolski and giroud?

we went for the 4-3-3 because it allowed cesc more space, and also because RvP always worked best on his own up front, he's made for the role.

so why stick with it now? maybe it's time to think the team from scratch again

Also make him captain, that'll ensure he'll fuck off next season (hopefully before)

Giroud.
He has cost a fortune so he hopefully will be the business.

Suppose our second choice is Afobe.

Reckon Podolski will play wide unless there is an injury crisis, but at a push maybe he could play the Bergkamp role in a 4-4-2 if we switch to that formation late in game where we are chasing the lead?

Chamakh, Park do not count.

Bendtner will leave.

Never seen Wacott play 90 minutes as a striker, so really hard to comment.

With Campbell going to Spain, I now want another striker bought.

As I previously said, we should play a diamond 442 with 4 centre mids. Poldi and Giroud up front now.

that works well when you have pirlo instead of song mate :lol: :wink:

now with all honesty, and this has no more knowledge into it than football manager thinking and a few beers: since we have a fantastic wing back in andre santos, why not play three centrebacks, sagna and santos wide, three central midfielders like we do, and giroud/podolski up front?

since we're shit we could at least play in a shit formation like 3-5-2 as well :lol: :wink:

We dont play with a center forward ,where have you been for the last 7 years ?
If we did Bendtner fits the bill and Giroud would now !

:high5: Same as that - in fact if we could line up walnut, diaby and song and use one bullet to shoot them all then I would be a happy man 8) :barscarf:

On a more serious note I would support bg's 3-5-2 formation - if we need 3 in centre of midfield cos of the ineptness of song and the lack of physicality of all of them then so be it but at least put 2 up front to suggest we want to win games :roll:
