The problem then lies with the sole striker role , which btw I think Crouch occupies perfectly, so what to do with Kuyt and Bellamy?

A 4-5-1 formation needs a strong, quick and a proven goalscorer as is based on counter attack. Using Crouch in that role is a recipe for disaster. We would loose most games.

crouch just scored 3 goals in 4-1 win over Arsenal
4-5-1 needs good fast wingers which we dont have.
