The way we play is actually geared towards the 3 behind the striker being the focal point of any attacking play.
The front man is used to make runs into the channels, create space and provide a distraction.
It's a pretty thankless task.
Torres is by a country mile our best striker and that says it all.
I believe Torres will still get another 20 goals in all comps this season and for me in this current formation and style of play that's good enough.
BERBATOV .... God no we need people like Torres who work hard and are willing to do the unappreciated stuff.
Torres does this well and for me him eto'o and ba are plenty when you look at hazard oscar and Willian
'I may be in a minority but I am not massively unhappy with our current strikers. None of them are great but for the most part this season they have all been competent enough. They are not scoring enough but then apart from Hazard and maybe Oscar/Lampard no one in our team has scored enough.'
Was going to do an article saying something similar, oh well probably still will.
Berba, still a good player but not what we need at all, would be awful in our system. He drops deep and dictates tempo, we need a striker with movement around the box and channels and a natural goal scorer.
