Who has said that. What people are saying is that this formation requires

a striker who can hold the ball up so playing Naismith as the lone striker is strange. Also that without Jerome we have very limited height in the team. Also that Whitaker can't defend.

I'm not saying its the only reason we are losing but I don't think its a surprise we have no real pattern to our play without a target to hit up front and I think its highly likely ou play will improve if we bring Lafferty on and take Whitaker off.
