Snowflake Royal All the more surprising that we started the last game without an actual striker on the pitch and our two top scorers on the bench.

I think a false 9 works when you have goalscorers all over the pitch, I do think it's a role Aluko could play well, he does find pockets of space well and he does look after the ball generally well
However, as discussed in another thread, we simply don't have the goalscorers round the pitch to do that. Therefore, all in all, it probably wasn't the smartest decision and did predictably end in a nil scoreline for us.
Be interested to know what % of our goals have been scored by strikers/players no longer here. Going from memory, I'd hazard a guess it's around 80%. Now whether that's a sign of positive contributions from the strikers or no contribution from the others is another question

they've repeated the claim. I think they posted it before J Low but I trust JL not to just copy and paste from the chron nowadays - he knows better than that.
Is this setting up your standard 'Expect Oliveira not to be seen for the rest of the season' joke?

No I was just asking the question but thanks for your sniping. To be expected these days sadly.
