The comparison of these two halves just shows how we can’t play one up front if Leaburn or Aneke aren’t on the pitch. Nothing against Kanu, but he’s not going to hold the ball up like we need and that invites pressure onto us.
Kanu’s best appearances have come when he’s played alongside a partner. I thought he was lively as a sub last week, but this isn’t the type of game or formation for him at his current stage of development. The line front man is absolutely pivotal in this formation and we’ve had unsuited or just crap players filling the role far too often. I’m d bring Bonne on and put him alongside Kanu.
