Never ever want to see 4-6-0 again

[Salem Street South]

Playing Sess up front on his own is a total waste of everybody's time. If Bendtner misses out, Wickham has to play, playing with no striker totally negates any counter-attacking tactics we use and completely handed the initiative to Everton because they were there for the taking today.

So true, but frankly it looks as if Ji and Wickham will never do the job...does it take more than one year for potential to materialise?

When you sign an 18 year old striker, yes.

Wickham is one of the worst footballers I have ever seen in the Premier League. Ji lacks basic footballing intelligence despite his outstanding technical skills. If Mr O'Neill does not act quckly Ji's potential will be lost

[The Exile]

Two or three times MoN's done it so far. Failed every time.

If it happens again we have to start asking questions.

[I Am The Walrus]

What's the fucking point. We have fit strikers in the squad. We have nothing to lose.

Wickham has potential. Whether that potential can be developed and nurtured? I honestly don't know.

But if we started with Wickham or Ji, then the bedwetters would be out saying how shite they are and shouldn't have played

[Ian_O]

I remember saying this when Roy Keane played this formation, IIRC?

[El-Radji]

Thought Wickham did ok considering his short amount of time on the pitch. Actually won a few flick-ons and headers which was a change to the rest of the game.
