Jimbo 175 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 No Shola (thank god) No Chopra Maybe no Shearer Its sad to say but we'll have to consider playing a non striker up front if things don't improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N'Zogbia is very young and hasn't had much opportunity, but is yet to score. Dyer is woeful in front of goal except in the very occasional game. Bowyer shouldn't be here, Jenas can't score. The past record of Parker and Emre show they are not prolific. Maybe Milner is a better option to play up front, but come on, this is the premiership we are talking about, with good defences. I know this is just N'Zogbia being hopeful, but what happened to the experience we needed? We need proper strikers, now! I wonder how many goals our "top striker" will score this year. Eight for Shearer I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 175 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Milner is the best option up front given the current situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season he looked like he couldn't hit a barn door. If it wasn't for Milner's Leeds escapades I'd have said that N'Zogbia was the more confident in the box out of the two. Milner could hit them from distance but in the box he couldn't hit them cleanly, he'd fluff shots.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Milner's finishing is better than his crossing, so I would stick him up front rather than waste him out wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emperor_k 1 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I'd prefer Milner up front but e are in really deep trouble if Milner and N'Zogbia are our only options up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 21982 Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 So are we going to go for something like a 4-5-1 with Milner up front by himself (assuming Shearer is not fit)? Or we could go for a 4-6-0 formation and hope not to concede....too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol 0 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Dyer is the best option up front at this club at the moment. We saw last season (especially against Sporting) that he causes all sorts of problems to the opposition defenders. As for the comments about Milner - I'd play him anywhere but on the wing.

wykikitoon 20712 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Milner and Dyer IMO. Definatley not Zoggy for me tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 20712 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Milner has had a good pre-season and his crossing and corners has been better, the corners he put in have been better than Roberts for the past 2 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I thought N'Zogbia could play left back, why not play him there and play Taylor in CD alongside Boumsong instaed of the geriatric convict. Fuck me it's not rocket science Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timnufc 0 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 While its unbelievable that we havent bought even just one striker yet, I dont think its as bad as it could have been as we have stand-ins like Milner, N'Zogbia and Dyer who could all do a decent job off the front man imo. (Granted Dyer aint gonna add much goals though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
