Play Gordon up top with him as a 2. Someone who can run behind.

 

It's how Shearer got another 4-5 years, with a Bellamy alongside him


That worked for 3 seasons, to be fair. And Bellamy was a terrific supporting striker. Gordon isn’t. He’s a very good player but he’s not creative in the same way and doesn’t have Bellamy’s unselfishness.

Tuchel said this after the game ...

 

“We will encourage him (Foden) to do what he does best, to go at defenders and go dribbling,” Tuchel added. “We played him today from the right wing. Both of our wingers who started today were not as impactful as they normally can be, as they are in club football.

 

“I am not so sure why we struggled to bring the ball quicker to them, in open positions. I need to review the footage. We lacked runs off the ball, there was too much passing, not enough dribbling and driving and carrying the ball towards goal.

 

Pretty alarming really. Looks like it was the players failing to play with more urgency and decisiveness.

 

I was thinking maybe it was the tactic, as it seemed so deliberate.

 

Seems they just struggle to move the ball better with confidence.

 

Not good.

You're fucking kidding. His hip!? If that's a break or a fracture that's a long, long, long time out and potentially career threatening.

He ran about for a couple of mins (albeit it gingerly) after it happened like, so he can’t possibly have a broken hip.

It is markedly better than something like 'the lads worked hard for it today, it was a tough game, etc etc'.  He's spotted the issue and is looking to deal with it.

'Just gotta roll our sleeves up, dust ourselves down, and go again...'

 

OR

 

'The ball was different!' 😅

I'm hoping Solanke gets a chance. Must be a real downer being called up to England as a centre forward in the last 6/7 years. Basically knowing you won't ever play any meaningful minutes unless Kane is injured and even then he still might play.
