Sort of hypothetical, as it’s unlikely we’ll pick up another striker now or in the summer but..
Who or what style of striker do people think would complement Harry up front? I’m talking just style or type of forward here, not whether anyone decent wants to come play second fiddle / we have no money etc.
I ask as it occurred against Fulham that we went out of our way to accommodate Llorente up front - the big target man to hold up the ball / win aerial battles / score headers - and it really didn’t work. Partly because Llorente wasn’t great, but also because that is clearly not how the team plays, ever, and it showed. Eriksen and Alli were ineffectual as they had no runners to pass through to I thought.
Not sure myself, but I think a speedster is probably ideal. Someone who can run off the shoulder. Rashford/Vardy/Zaha style players maybe.
