are people blind, or is it me!??

Everyone I speak to or what I read on here, is that Jones is our preferred striker, either everyone's pissed at games or I ain't got a clue :lol: :lol:
Because Frazier Campbell us quality and in my opinion way better than anyone we got. All u need to do is watch the him through the game and his runs and space he makes is quality, we just don't have the players good enough to pick him out, maybe playing him and Jones upfront could work or drop Whits and play daehli or Wolff but Frazier should never be dropped. Obviously just my opinion, am I alone? Or do people agree? :ole:

Campbell is not a lone striker.

we cant play with 2 up front much as most teams play with 3 midfielders (centre) and we would get over run

Fraizer is our super sub. I can't remember a time where he's been a sub for us and hasn't scored.

It could also work for us maybe??? We don't have to follow the other sides regarding formation. Just a thought. Or maybe not 442, but Campbell up top and Jones in front of the midfield,

Against the best passing midfield in the league.

Good idea :ayatollah:

We just need goals and I don't care who gets them :ayatollah:

I don't mean in certain games I mean in general and if your talking about Swansea I hardly class them as that anymore, they are just as poor as us if not worse at the moment

Still got the most passes in the league this season. Tim Sherwood's shown at Tottenham that if you don;t have the strong midfield for a 442 you get taken apart by teams with 3 in the middle.

Our attack isn't good enough to go Kevin Keegan either.

Most passes maybe, but passes clearly don't win games.

They do tire your team out though because of all the extra work a two man midfield will be out under.

I'm not against it in principle because they reckon that centre backs have forgotten how to mark two strikers properly but I'm just not convinced tomorrow is the day to try it out.

Campbell is a headless chicken, he makes half arsed runs unless its virtually handed to him on a plate, would like to see his shots conversion rate as well, don't get me wrong I love Fraizer but I'd prefer Kenwyne for physical presence

I didn't mean tomorrow just in general, I just think Campbell is too good for the bench, even though he's done the job so far :lol:

He maybe gets 1 shot a game because our midfield isn't good enough. As for the headless chicken remark, I'd class you under the ain't got a clue category!

Chelsea showed against man city that 5 in midfield is better than 4.

Both teams are equal in terms of quality, but Chelsea had the extra man in the middle. As we are one of the poorer teams in the league we would be taking a big risk using 4 in midfield.

I think a lot of that was due to missing Fernandinho.

But that just shows you need two absolutely top class players to make a two man midfield work these days.
