I'm thinking this:We need goals if we're going to win this game, so we need people on who can score. Balotelli might rise some eyebrows but my thinking is that he's excellent at holding the ball up and you then have Coutinho supplying balls and making runs alongside Ibe, Sterling running in to the final third, pulling defenders all over the place with (the hope) that Borini can find the space to put the ball in the back of the net. It gives us movement upfront that we've been lacking for several weeks. I'd sooner loose this game trying to win it than grind out another boring 0-0. Let's show some intent.
It's confused me how against this idea he has become since last season. A formation that worked very well for us has been abandoned. It'd certainly make more sense than starting 0 strikers in a game and having 3 on the bench.
Well I totally disagree with you about playing no recognised striker and would rather we have a go.
We won't concede...but will we be able to score?
Play Raheem up top we have a chance. Play Balotelli no chance.
Play Balotelli with Raheem?
