I can't stand a striker up top on his own.... I just think it's utter shite to watch the "goal scorer" getting marked out the game. Not just talking about Bolton.
If you look back at your fav time watching football when was it??? I've spoken to loads of my mates and they all say 96-06/07....
We all have different reasons as to why, but common theme was it was end to end 4-4-2 vs 4-4-2 a lot of the time. Big Target Man and a small pacey lad up top nicking goals with 2 wingers crossing and 2 full backs overlapping.
Was end to end
But now it looks like damage limitation, short passing it up from the back... It's absolute dross to watch, I stopped watching premier league the year after Leicester won... I used to watch a lot of league of Ireland too but same happening, very diffensive tip tapping it around between the CBs FBs and the goalie.
Yorke/Cole united
Flo/Zola Chelsea
Henry/Berkamp arsenal
Quinn/Phillips Sunderland
Owen/Heskey Liverpool....
Shearer/Owen england
Quinn/Keane Ireland
Im of the belief that a striker needs a fellow striker
to work with
Maybe I'm just a dinosaur, but I think 4-4-2 is the way forward to get bums on seats in stadiums, and decent results... The only knack is you've got to be solid in defense which we clearly aren't but I don't think we are far off.... We've been much worse
