With regards to strikers staying upfront and central he also said something along the lines of he tries to explain to them that he's almost giving them preferential treatment by not asking them to track back or go wide.

He tells them to play right up on the opposition defenders but too many these days think they're Dennis Bergkamp always wanting to drop deep for the ball and that when Shirtliff was playing it was "happy days" if he came up against a striker who kept drifting wide but more difficult against someone who stayed central.

He tells them to just get in the box to get on the end of crosses, not that we're putting enough crosses in yet.

On the 20 a season striker thing he said given a whole season of the team creating as much as he would want a team to create a striker should be getting 20 goals (or something along those lines).
