Strikers lack of choice

[sfx412]

We lack proven options, but you can't prove yourself without the chance.  Given our current crop of injuries/suspensions/lack of form I'd have though last night was the ideal chance to give somebody like Delfouneso the chance.  Perhaps 4-4-2 with him and Heskey might have seen us wrap the game up in normal time.

Why put him in if he's not up to the job, Mon's run off now that sort of thing shouldn't happen again.

When the old manager left players out for no reason he was rightly criticised, when the new manager does it is because of the players perceived bad attitude, sounds a bit like the emperors new clothes.

Still hurts I see

Perhaps you are right, methinks its more to do with when the old manager of several seasons who had built the squad wasting a fortune, did it, he needed criticism.
When the bloke who stepped into the shit does it after only a few games I think its more a sensible approach to see the strength of the side.
But then I don't have a Mon love in axe to grind, do I.

True.

But the MON hate brigade axe does get in the way now and again.

While I would welcome a good striker signing, it is unfortunate that three strikers are out at the same time.

It is one area we need to address is a proven striker Heskey's playing well, Gabbys injured, Carew just dont want it and the Fonz well who know's what going on there.  Come january we must buy a striker but that time of year the options are limited so we will have to go with what we have got and get the best out of them.

Good players still move in January. Im sure G-Hou will find us a striker.

How do we know he's not up to the job.  He barely gets a look in but those who watch the reserves have always raved about him.  You put players like that in to prove themselves.  I'd have thought Houllier might have wanted to test all the squad at an early stage.  Still, I'm not watching them all on a daily basis.

As we speak...

Top flight striker too

[Bad English]

He's going to look at both wings when he has a moment.

Great in the air but a dirty little Fokker
