    I'd agree that I would like to see both strikers start together.

    Playing just one up front is always going to be hard especially the way we play and how the team packs their box. I thought that the wingers were meant to overlap and create overload to help us score but I don't really see that happening in matches. That's why I think Bamford has a huge target on his back.

    Playing a sole striker other players must step up and score, you just can't rely on one player. I'm not seeing much in the way of that. I'm seeing Bamford working hard and holding the ball up but with hardly any outlet for him to play it to another player. What also doesn't help is that a lot of our corners and crosses are woeful.

    Playing both Bamford and Eddie would bring hold up play and pace to our attack, plus that players can interchange positions as Bielsa likes players that can play in two or more positions.

    Playing with 1 upfront, away from home is something I think most fans do understand and support. At home, I feel that is more opportunity to play 2 up front, even if it is just in the second 1/2 of a match or after 65 mins or something, when the opposition are worn down.
