I'd like to see us do something like this now we have Naismith and Bamford

Ok, so they are not Suarez and Sturridge, but Naismith is a real grafting, 110% type like the Biter, and Bamford proved last season he is a quick, bright and composed finisher.

I'd love it if we came up with a way of harnessing the pair of them in a front line. The whole point of football is scoring goals. Looking at the team Tuesday, it wasn't obvious where the goals were coming from, mainly because we ended up (first half especially) so deep in fear of Spurs getting in behind us. Mbok is great, but he's not soo fast. I really think we need Bamford in the side asap as he has it all, would put the opponents defence back as they'd know he was quick, gives us the option of hoofing it (Mahrez style) for him to get onto, gives our midfield that option, maybe helps alleviate the pressing on our defenders.
I don't know, I watched this clip the other day and found it interesting in that we have some exciting players in our squad and maybe this whole one up top needs to go as its great when you're dominating play (ie the Championship, early season when confidence was high) but we really are not at that point any more for myriad reasons.
