Yep, or a striker in the first team more lethal than Berbatov and Berbatov providing as an option to pick apart smaller teams.
4-5-1 in big games, there's no trust there in Berbatov.
Even though I was 9 when the treble was won, and didn't notice about the formation etc. I was like BALL KICK IT GET GOALS.
But the semi against Arsenal, the semi against Inter, the final against Bayern etc. all them big matches, I'm sure Cole and Yorke started in a 4-4-2? Correct me if I'm wrong as you're much older
But if you can't trust your 32m pound striker to put in a shift and make up the numbers in midfield when you don't have the ball then what's the point in having him? Starting Darren Gibson in a big game over a 32m pound striker... there's something wrong there. What do you think?
