Thats how we have to play imo
Clearly there is an understanding between them
You have to be brave in the desperate situation we are in
Playing crouch or diouf up front is not going to save us
Playing this card of desperation might just do the trick

One assist six months ago hardly equate to an understanding.

If you play a 4231 with those you have to drop one of Badou or Allen for Cameron.
That's not going to happen.

I don’t see why Berahino should play. Again yesterday he offered nothing. There seems to be a force field that prevents him getting into good positions and again it was clear he was no pace or anything else that a top level striker needs. Jese should play out wide if he plays imo. Bad attitude but offered more than Choupo so wouldn’t be against him or Ramadan having a run. |

"Brave" would certainly be one word to describe going in with those 2 up front. I can see why people are going with some wild and wonderful ideas up front because we are obviously completely out of reasonable options. Gun to my head, I really don't know who I'd go with. Crouch, Berahino, Jese, Choupo and Mame have all proven themselves not up to the task for various reasons. www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jese/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/134936According to this, Jese has started 18 games up front in his career - and scored one goal. And, for me, Berahino wouldn't get anywhere near the 18 for the remainder of the season I still think, reluctantly, it's between the Devil (Diouf) or the deep blue sea (Crouch). And both are terrible options. The idea of starting Campbell seems preposterous, but is it unthinkable? |

You need to play to jese's strengths
Jese needs a player up front with him with wjom he can play some near 1-2s
Can only see him doing it with berahino
Hope we dont revert to hoofing it up to crouch ffs

That's not going to happen. 4 - 3 - 1 - 2 No width, we've not got the quality in midfield to pass through the middle, especially against lower sides that will set up to defend. Would end up being 433 with Shaq and Jese wide |

Berahino has never been that good. I don't get how he managed to get the reputation he's had. The one, and only, reasonable season he's ever had in his entire career, he scored 14 goals. Diouf wasn't far off that in his first season with us. Our biggest issue is up front but, unfortunately, we don't have the answer in our current squad. Never mind the January window, we should have bought a striker in summer. Or at least not sold Joselu (not that he would be the answer but at least he was scoring in pre season).

The idea of starting Campbell seems like a good one to me. I think Jesse offers something we need..he runs with the ball and at least gets into the area !

Berahino should be no where near the first team.
Every single appearance has been woeful.
And as for his laughable attempt at a shot yesterday - words fail me.
We should’ve been giving Campbell a run out with a view to next season. Had the lad had all the game time Berahino has had over the last 12 months he would have at least scored one goal. In fact, even Brek Shea would have scored by now.

There's got to be some chemistry somewhere in that dressing room. I say fuck it try everything now. From our current position there's nothing to lose in some of the upcoming games.

I didn't expect it to be that much! Diouf wouldn't have taken any pens in that season either |

Straight race to the ball but there’s an advertisement board in the way. Who’d win? Jese or Charlie? Winner gets to take a penalty.  |
