Yes, if your wingers are Messi and Sanchez and your playmaker Xavi. Not Nasri and Johnson on the wings and Yaya as the creative playmaker.welsh_andy said:playing one striker works if you having the 2 wingers pushed right up,and the 2 wing backs pushed up, but against lower teams 2 strikers is by far best way to go as they just park the bus imoAgueroO said:I don't know why Mancini started to play with one striker, we played with two against Tottenham, United and it worked very well. Why does he start Aguero/Balo/Dzeko as lone striker lately?
