Pop quiz hotshot

You're the manager of a football team... You're one nil down. Again. You've dominated the first half of the game but failed to score. Again. There's 20 minutes left...

What do you do? What do you do?

Do you...
a) Stick with what you've got, confident the boys will turn it round...
Or..
b) Throw on another forward in favour of a defender, looking for the vital equaliser.
Or..
c) Take off your most prolific forward and replace him with a steffi graf look-a-like flop who never gets into the penalty area, who has failed to score in 107 previous appearances, Despite costing 7 million quid and is supposed to have replaced 2 blokes who knew where the net was.

Its gotta be C, hasnt it.

Being sensible, I'd have to go with option D!

Interesting decisiopn that one matey, don't you agree?

Plus I think one thing has ben demonstrated clearly, and that is you need 4 forwards of the appropriate quality at this level, particularly with the transfer window thing going on. Anything less leaves you exposed.

I almost feel sorry for Forlan. South American (they always take time to settle), at a big club, big price tag, lots of expectation and nobody to take the pressure off him because RvN isn't finding the net and there's nobody else. Isnt ideal for a new man.

He should have bought a new forward in the summer IMO

Milan did well today, Forlan will come good too.

OK Weaste, he might.

But you can't in all honesty say that up to now he looks like a striker. He doen't even play in a striker's position!

He looks far more comfortable in midfield to me.

To echo what is said by Livvie..

Baros looks like a centre forward. Forlan looks like he's never seen the goal before.

Its just my impression like. But its all the more significant because even if you had everyone available, Forlan is an integral part of your strikeforce, and he looks like he'll never score.

D'you reckon that (and this is even if he comes good) you don't need another forward? Its a ridiculous situation where one bloke being out of form means your centre forwards are contributing next to nowt.

That's because at the moment he looks as if he couldn't hit a barn door.

That's what I don't understand, when SAF wants to play 4-5-1, then why doesn't he play RVN and Forlan instead of Scholes?

I just think that he would be better suited to that position.

He looks like a headless chicken to me. I don't think Forlorn will ever make the grade.His international boss said he was a poor finisher prior to us buying him bad ratio to shots etc, mind you he don't shoot anymore it looks to me like he is scared to get in to the right positions and take the responsibility on .

Has Diego Maradona made 30 goal less appearances yet?
