We've got four 'strikers' and usually only need one.
What's a fifth going to do apart from warm an already-overpopulated bench?

keatings and smith aint strikers even mcdonald played 10 last two seasons but i will accept is a striker.  We have two! we should not play 4231 and have two strikers.  We should play 442 and have 3 or 4 strikers

Harvard maths majors not needed to figure this one out.

Oh and a bit of height would help the tactical alterations that mckinnon just disnae get.



apart from that yeah we might go up regardless as we look decent on paper.  we dont have 4 strikers though - 4 forwards maybe..

I think it's time that football coaches everywhere get hold of all these 'No 10s'. kick their ar$es, push them upfront & tell them to score some phukn goals. Lazy barstewards indicative of the modern generation if you ask me.
Bring back conscription, that's what I say!

This is a great point, today number 10s get an easy ride in today's game. Back in the day, when you had skillfull, hard working, tactically aware players like Luggy, Iain Ferguson, Dalglish, Teddy Sheringham,  they could play up front in a partnership, or drop back to just in front of the midfield if needed.
