[Albion] How would you be setting up our attacking line?

[heathgate]

So the goals have dried up. We're shelling chance after chance after chance

Who would you have in the attacking 4 and where would you have them?

The way I see it ....

Pedro - Can't lead the line nearly as effectively as he link the midfield to the attack
Ferguson - Not in squad, and hasn't shown any form recently
Adingra - Had a poor season so far. He had a chance on his favoured left at the end and underwhelmed
Minteh - Had a mixed season. Some nice moments and goals, but his inexperience has been exposed badly at times
Rutter - Very promising start, tailed off and featuring and contributing less
Enciso - Odd game today, but even when bad, seems to have something about him

I'd be looking to build the attacking line around Gruda on the right, who I think looks a real prospect and Mitoma on the left who hasn't hit the heights, but you just know will contribute if you can get him on the field

Then the main striker. Whilst Danny is injured, it has to be Pedro doesn't it? He's been poor, but he's there because we have no choice. I mean, there are exotic options such as promoting Duffus, or installing O'Riley as some sort of hold it up player. But nah. It still has to be Pedro leading the line, no matter how badly he's done

The no 10 position? I feel Rutter has done enough to be warranting starts. Enciso to get plenty of chances from the bench

As for other players? I think Solly is a full back now. Gomez who knows, but he's not a striker and that is what we need

Rutter has been in and out the lineup, I actually don't blame him for being a bit inconsistent, given a steady run of games I am certain he would prove himself.... difficult to get any form with an ever changing squad status.

Bring back Steele, Bart just sucks all the life out of the game so our front line has to wait and wait and wait for play to restart

Which is fine until FH tells him to do exactly the same thing…

We don’t have the midfield structure to maximise Steele’s ball playing ability now. So it’s irrelevant how quickly BV releases it if we can’t work it through that zone quickly enough.

FH definitely prioritises control of the game over quick counter-attacks. Nothing wrong with that by the way, but it can be frustrating as a fan sometimes.

Slot is similar at Liverpool in comparison to Klopp. Just slightly different styles
