Zohore Right Wing

Cast your mind back to the last league game. We had zero creativity or crosses into the box for Zohore. Yet he was the only one who managed to get down the wing and swung in a cross himself with his right foot. A good cross might I had.

Say what you want about his right foot for shooting, but he seems very capable with it when he passes and crosses. He actually has a very accurate cross on him, and his strength and pace could be of use down the wing.

His power in his shooting I’m sure could transition into his crosses too to make the odd menacing whip if there aren’t many options in the box.

I can see Ward is well up for playing for us, so let’s let him, I just refuse to accept a player of Zohores traits and qualities should be put on the bench, especially considering he could be of use. Check this out.

Ward can play on the RW , definitely not Ken.

Not a bad shout. Keep swapping them through the game. Keep the opposition guessing.

No way would I drop Murphy

The problem with this is, Warnock expects his wingers to drop back like wing backs when we're defending and track opposition full backs when they're overlapping. I don't see Zohore having the ability or the discipline to do that.

He doesn't have the work rate to track back. Would usually need to cut in to cross as he's left footed anyway, maybe just hit a good one on the night

Lukaku used to do it for Everton with great effect. Funnily enough Martinez would often use this tactic against no other than Arsenal.

Playing such a lump out wide against the big teams dinky full backs often causes them a huge headache

He does push out wide in games and hold the ball up anyways so if he was to stay wide and chuck ward in striker role maybe would work or swap around between the two whilst in the game. He does have have a good cross on him aswell, seen from last year. But I'd have him on the left wing as he is left footed and swing a cross on, where on his right wing he'd have to cut of to left foot to cross. I guess the only good thing his if he on the right wing he could cut in on his left foot and let one rip

Warnock won't do it, he doesn't have the work rate for such a role how we set up. Our wingers have become so defensive they are basically wingback now, they have no freedom and hardly get into positions to attack/support. The reason we are not scoring is the way we set up rather than the personal.

I would go with the this, and go for it in an attacking fashion. If Hoilett is still injured then replace with Harris. Camarasa and Artur breaking up play then distributing quickly to Murphy and Hoilett or passing through the middle to Reid when he is in space, any long balls or crosses then Zohore can either take the opportunity himself or hold up and bring Reid into play.

If we sit deeper or play more defensively then Reid become the distribution.

I think he will go for that but Ralls for the Spanish lad and I think Pateson will play as the Number 10 against Arsenal.

I thought Huddersfield away was ideal for that set up though

I don't think he has the guile for a winger but swap ward and zohore and I think that is the best possible team we could put out on Sunday

Still can't see where the goals are coming from though. The three in the middle look more of an outfit that previous central midfield set-ups we have had although I wonder where the creative spark is going to come from.
