False 9

Well said have!I was thinking the same thing a few days ago.

*Well said vava

Remains to be seen whether Higuain is available...it's Shane RLC is injured - he'd be my choice as false 9

Vava that's not a bad shout. I'm not sure though whether Pedro is that good playing all the time with his back to goal all the time but neither is Hazard, but if it frees up our best player to do what he does best, then why not?

Sarri is looking a bit like a one-trick pony to me at the moment. How he cannot see that this false nine shi ite is failing miserably is just beyond me.

Pedro is a turn and shoot type of attacker he doesnt wait forever too shoot he just has a go, sure hell miss a few and frustrate some of our fans but it cant be worse than watching hazard walking around with his hands in his pockets. Pedro has also scored a few with his head too.

* A shame

Maybe we could put Alonso up there...kill two birds with one stone...Emerson gets a game then too

Yeah, as I said it's not a bad idea. What have we got to lose? The way he sets the team up at the moment is highly predictable and is proving easy to combat for teams that have worked us out. Throw a curve ball in to possibly catch the opposition off guard, why not?

Won't work. Pedro's essentially a wide striker, the deeper he drops the less effective he is + he's the only mo fo in our attack who knows how to move properly to support a false 9, without him our forward line would consist of Willian who can't move to save his life and Hazard who drops as deep as the half way line when playing LW. Now that's a non-existence attack

There's no alternative. We have to hope Higuain comes good.
