Anyinsah looks to be that man - there's no question in my mind that any combination of the other 3 strikers cannot play together as they all play with there back to goal. Wagstaff and martin would seem a bit lightweight to start up front although towards the end of a game it's better than just having the 'lumps' on.

Exactly, the problem isn't the strikers, it's the service they get. If we had Drogba and Villa up front they wouldn't score goals because they wouldn't get any service from our midfield and wingers.
We need Martin and waggy to really attack the penalty area with their speed and fleetness of foot they should either be creating chances or penalties. They just need to be in the area.

People keep saying if we had Drogba, Rooney, Ronaldo etc up front they wouldn't score. They would because they can create chances for themselves.
Just get the wingers to beat the full back down the line and pull the ball back across the goal,the rest is childs play or was back when i played football.

Those were the days, eh Colin?
Wingers in the Stanley Matthews mould, taking the ball to the goal line and laying it back into the box - with all the defenders in their own box facing the wrong way towards their own goalmouth, and your forwards piling in - defenders nightmare.
It still works today; it's called "getting behind the defence" or "penetration". And a great way to unlock packed defences.
Except the early cross nowadays always seems to be favoured - meat and drink for a dominant centre half, as we saw on Monday.
