I have said the same for a long time now, we could have any of your top strikers and they would all struggle, we just dont create anything for our strikers!! So why do we do better when he isn't on ? We did today we did at Bolton sorry he just doesn't want it Because Hughes changes formation and we all of a sudden start crossing it for crouch, its as plain as day!

I absolutely agree that Berahino has to play in a two (he did so when he had that blinding season at West Brom) and all the Baggies fans who've been on here have confirmed that it's never worked when he's been played as a '1'.
The problem that Hughes has now got, is that you can't play Berahino in a '2' AND play a back three AND play Choupo.
I don't know what Choupo is like in the air and whether you could actually play him and Berahino as a bona fide front two, with Shaqiri operating as a number 10 behind them.
That's the only system I can think of, in order to allow you to still play with three at the back and with wing backs but we'd be straight away bashing square pegs into round holes in attempt to fit the signings into some sort of system.

For me the best striker we have is playing full back. Would love to see him and Bera given a go together.

The only hope for berahino for him to work in this formation is that the glimpses we have seen from choupo so far translate into Consistent performances, as choupo looks so quick, and talented and direct, that he may be capable of giving us width and getting up in support of bera when we have the ball on the other side. Otherwise yes, it looks like berahino is massively ill-suited to aghast hughes wants to do just like many of his other signings.

When are we going to stop making excuses ? 'Better in a two''No service' blah blah.
The guy is slow he doesn't make the right runs doesn't make things happen and doesn't score goals,
He's poor very poor

I find it hard to form an opinion on Berahino. He doesn't miss many chances because he doesn't get (or make) any. He isn't involved in anything much and he doesn't seem to have any outstanding skills or qualities. Him or the system ? Maybe a bit of both. However it is unforgivable that the management havent sorted this issue by now, there's been time a plenty and we are no further forward than on the day he arrived. There is no time to faff around, sort it now because there is a very real possibility that we will be in October with no more than a couple of goals in the credit column with a league position that reflects this.

It's a very sad state of affairs if the best striking options we have is mama. He's the footballing equivalent of paddy mcguiness and Jonathon Wilkes,fucking pinching a living.

When will Hughes realise he's not a lone striker? I feel so sorry for him. You know what I was thinking the same he really was hung out to dry. Only Bojan played any kind of through balls that he needs but they did not come his way.

He is working hard, but to no great effect, and he simply doesn't seem cut out to play the lone striker role.
He either has to have a partner up front or we try Joselu or buy another striker for the position.

The problem is the manager isn't it? Berahino won't succeed under this manager. Certainly seems that way. I felt sure that having chased him for so long that he would alter the way we play to suit the striker he so badly wanted. Now it appears he hadn't got a clue why he wanted him, maybe he just liked his name or felt sorry for him because vinegar tits was giving him a hard time. Whatever it was it was obviously nothing to to with having a plan or a theory of how to use him.

Sign Cyle Larin and send Berahino on a season long loan to Orlando to hopefully get some confidence?

He is shite. We looked far livelier when Crouch came on. Berahino is useless. Full stop. 0 goals in 42 Did we bollocks look livelier with Crouch on Given he had a strike partner and a supplier he offered as much as Berahino

Up until that point we might as well have played with no striker. Hughes has no fucking clue how to set a team up to create chances. No idea how to get the best out of HIS players. No idea full stop.
