He's great just outside the six yard box, finding space, so I think he could do it

You just don't want to take away from his game too much. We keep talking about 4-4-2) and crossing the ball to him, but he's not really that kind of player really. He'd do well in an Arsenal side that passes the balls in on the diagonal or square on from the box edge. Hooper'll get on the end of crosses though - he's Rooney-lite (not so light).

- 4-4-2, 4-5-1 - there can be so little difference between the two it's a pointless debate (NCFC) - Yellalee, Sep 25, 19:38:49
  - No we need to start with two strikers!! (NCFC) - hoolahan, Sep 25, 19:42:12
  - Sort of, though... (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 25, 19:41:23
    - No it isn't, but we've supposedly been playing 4-5-1 with Elmander, and he's a striker... (NCFC) - Yellalee, Sep 25, 19:47:13
      - Still not convinced (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 25, 19:50:09
        
        This is true. I bet one sits back though. Just not as far back. 4-4.5-1.5 if you will... (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Sep 25, 19:51:36

      - I have been unimpressed by Elmander so far. I had high hopes for his nous. (n/m) (NCFC) - Sugbad The Bad, Sep 25, 19:49:05
        
        Yep, so far he's been entirely ineffectual if we're being honest. Still time though. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Sep 25, 19:52:37
        
        To be clear: he hasn't been crap, I just expected more and better (n/m) (NCFC) - Sugbad The Bad, Sep 25, 19:49:29
