I’ve solved our striker puzzle. Bench Zirkee and Hojlund.

This can't work in the PL. Maybe in EL. The physicality of the PL is on another level and Garnacho will be eaten alive.
He doesn't have the physicality to hold the ball, link up play and challenge for the long ball.

Garnacho is much better playing from the wing because he needs spaces to run at the opponent to create chances/to finish. He is not the player playing with his back at the goal.

Get what you’re saying but he just isn’t clinical enough. Missed a great chance today. And misses easy chances every game. He will pose a bigger threat though but for that position you need more than just someone who runs in behind because what happens when we play a team that sit deep?

Same issue with our actual strikers.
 
I think this is worth a try at least. Garnacho’s movement is better than both our strikers, and even if he isn’t very clinical he will get chances due to his movement

Nah, our actual strikers just have horrible movement and aren't good enough to actually get in chances. When they do their finishing isn't too bad, but that's such a small part, they don't do the main part well. Garna does the main part well but has not had luck with finishing at all this season. But also.... Yeah don't see him as a striker at all, he's too small. Runs off the left are very different than leading the line.
 
You know what? I'm inclined to agree. Bench both and play the three kids upfront.
