Has he got any dust about him?

This post makes me laugh when half the forum are complaint about only having two strikers and were wanting to buy another to have cover.

Seems that Txiki wasn't gonna be able to win either way.

I haven't.

The days of a four striker rotation is long gone, and we have a manager with a strong proclivity to playing a lone striker. Aguero/Nacho/Nolito with Sane and Sterling providing support is plenty for me.

We're more a midfielder short, both central and attacking (in the mould of Merl) more than anything IMO.

Yes you haven't but lots have. Hence my point. He is another striker. That's 2 and a half as Nacho plays better linking rather than running the line at 9.

I think those people are still stuck in the old ways of having your traditional 4-4-2 with a four man rotation at striker.

Times have moved on and as it is you really only need 2 capable main strikers, one that's capable of playing just off him at second striker, and a decent winger who can double up in the position if need be.

You just can't be shure of anything with Pep. No one knows what crazy things he will bring next season after completing the squad's overhaul.
He may come up with some impossible bielsa-esque formation, and all your assumptions will become useless.

Great reverse stamp technique for the first goal and an out of the blue thunderbolt reminiscent of David Phillips for the second.

He'll do for me!

:D

Just the goals:

Think he my be just the ticket to push us on in January. Very reminiscent of a young Ronaldo the second goal yesterday showed that. What a talent can't wait!
