Why must any player, if we buy one for the No.9 position be a big lump. Yes I know that's supposed to be the way we play but if it's not working why carry on with the same old.
Time to mix it up I feel. Whilst I know we are not Arsenal they have players like Jesus a "Fox in the box" player.
Also we seem to be persisting in playing Egeli as a winger, when he clearly isn't.
Is it really the case that he's too young to play alongside someone in the middle. He doesn't have to be a battering ram. For a long time we have played one up front as with Delap and now Hirst or Azon, but it's stuttering along and even with Delap who I suggest is far better than Hirst really struggled the second half of last season although the whole team did. |  | | |  |

Worth noting that Arsenal rely very heavily on set pieces... | |

Because, I think, the McKenna game plan is usually to get the number nine to mix things up and distract the opposition defence so that our wings can have more time and space to approach the goal. If that puts the winger (or full back) in a good position to shoot then that is what they should do...and the number nine is still forward ready to pick up rebounds and occupying defenders who don't know if a pass is incoming. |  |
