oafc1955 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Another one he chased for ages and spent money on and now seems down the pecking order. I still maintain under any other manager he wouldn’t get a game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlemoor Lad Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Always said it, Striker's aren't on the pitch to defend and shouldn't be considered as such. Their whole game is about being an out ball for the defence when the opposition are pressing too high and ultimately putting away any opportunity that comes their way. Any striker worth his salt will always be right on the last defender, ready to pounce.

Most of Norwood's career goals have been inside the penalty area, yet here we see him foraging near the halfway line, no wonder he looks a forlorn figure.

The two are not incompatible. Score when he’s in the box, if the ball falls to him there. Doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be pressing further back when the game demands it. It’s not binary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Alexander Arnold played behind Liverpool's centre mids and was probably their most creative influence against Villa. Matty Palmer played that sort of deep lying role for Notts County and didn't do too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which of our strikers would be able to keep that up for 90 minutes and still have enough left in the tank?

Watch Man City and you'll see Erling Haaland defending corners 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
