Please indicate which none of the above you would chose in a post.
Didn't have room for the other strikers as lone strikers or the other options of a 4-3-3. Remember that Babel can play wide in it, and Crouch could be a target man, and some have even suggested
Torres Crouch Kuyt/Babel/Kewell.

If Rafa should not rotate who he plays up top, he BETTER get it right with the best players against Villa

I'd like to see Torres and Crouch as the main partnership, as I think there would be plenty of goals between them and they would bring midfielders into play very well as well. Having said that, I'm certain Rafa will prefer Torres and Kuyt.

Careful Bad Bob, if the voronator see's this thread, he'll probably rip your head off with his pinky.

You have been warned.

Maybe the choices should have been :

Voronin as a lone striker OR

Death

Reina
Steve F Jamie C Daniel A j Rise

Yossi B Stevie G Mascerino Harry K

@ Babu and Joe's comments

Actually, I've got the Voronator down as my holding midfielder...he'll cripple some poor chap winning possession, feed a teammate with a scorching square ball and then start his run for the opposition's area...arriving like a runaway locomotive to meet the inevitable cross with a piledriver of a volley that shreds the goal. In fact, they'll need to install reinforced plexy glass in front of the Kop or some poor punter's going to be blasted clean through the back end of Anfield!

I think Torres/Crouch partnership would be the way to start the season as I was impressed with their play on friday although it was against poor opposition.

Kuyt and Voronin looked about as dangerous as a toothless lion against Feyenoord and I can't see either of them delivering many goals as a pairing.

Crouch has had a bit of a rough deal in the past 12 months in my opinion and I think he can complement Torres with his hold up play and knock downs.
If the irritation of dominating teams and getting sweet FA for it continues then I'd like to see us try going with the three up top, something like -

Crouch
Babel/Kewell Torres

or

Torres
Crouch Kuyt
The important thing is that we do have options and know Rafa has to earn his money and find the one that will see us getting 2 or 3 goals a game on a regular basis and enabling us to kill teams off when we are ripping them to shreds al a Feyenoord (last night), Milan (Champions lge final) and all of the other times in the past 18 months or so.

Torres as lone striker got NO VOTES

by **Bad Bob** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 5:48 pm

Ahhh, back in the days when Voronin was a funny joke rather than just a joke.

Because to play with one striker was considered negative in this forum as a common mantra, you can read it in the threads between March and May of last year.

I didn't consider it negative, but then, I didn't think Torres was a perfect lone striker :laugh:

by **ConnO'var** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 4:49 am

I chose none of the above as I feel that we need another quality striker to partner Torres.

by **god_bless_john_houlding** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 5:22 pm

Torres and Crouch. From what we have that to me is the best option. I always prefer to see two up front rather than just one and Crouch is the best of the other three.
