False no 9

[CFC: Champs £launderx17]

If Studge goes, and we don't get another striker in, we'll have no strikers bar Nando, who is probably due an injury!

With all our AMs, are we going to play a false no 9 up front?!!

You can probably just play Hazard up front - everything he touches at the moment turns to gold.

We could always play like Spain, 5 midfielders, no striker.

I think Moses would play up front in that scenario with maybe Bamford on the bench.

maybe mata too. But the false no 9 needs to be a good finisher like Fabreags

 

[Varier2]

Mata, Marin and Hazard are all good finishers. Don't know about Oscar (can't see him being a goal scorer), but if we get Schurle he's got an eye for goal. I really don't think we're ready for that anyway, and I don't think for once it would suit us. We're fine up front; Torres, (Sturdidge - Schurle?), Moses, Bamford, Piazon, even Hazard. All our players are flexible.

I believe I've already mentioned that the false No 9 is where we appear to be heading, all dribble and runs.

No way we should let Sturridge go, he should surely realise the opportunity now that Drogba has gone?

Nando can't play every game and Lukaku is out on loan, although there must surely be a recall clause in there if push comes to shove?
