Crucifying? I'm simply pointing out the fact that he is getting more game time than any other player in his position would have gotten based on his (horrible) form this season.

This, in turn, will also lead to the younger, talented strikers thinking they will never get a chance here.

Maybe I used too harsh words. I dont always use right words. I wouldt drop him for this performance. He has been frustrating and in my opinion played in wrong role. Last night he played well. Could be because we attacked more and kept possession.

I also don't think that his poor form is entirely up to himself - bad management and poor tactics play a part as well - but after all this system has been used before with players who played the role better than he is doing.

It's not a crusade against him, but he needs some time on the bench.
