Seriously, I can’t understand it. He’s a natural CF, can score goals and gets himself into dangerous positions, why is he not starting there?
What is Carrick’s problem with playing Forss up top
- Thread starter Uncle_Albert
- Start date

It reeks of Karanka and Stuani. We are desperate for a proper striker on the pitch and we play him right wing. What does he do when Jones is back?

I agree surely he would have been worth a shot up top tonight. Don't understand the thinking ??

Maybe it’s more that he doesn’t trust Silvera or Dijksteel on the right so has to play Forss. Who knows.

When we brought a winger on to replace the winger who was playing up front, whilst our best striker was playing as a winger. I’d kind of hoped we might play the striker as a striker.
Don’t understand the GK situation either.

It's beginning to concern me that it may be a stubbornness thing with Carrick.
Is he scared that Forss will perform well there, and he'll be proven wrong for not playing him there? In fairness to Carrick he doesn't come across as somebody who has an ego and who would think like that, but it's becoming more and more baffling by the week.
I could understand him doing it when McGree was unavailable, as we were so short of options in those forward positions, but now that McGree is available I don't understand why he doesn't just play him wide right, move Azaz into the 10 role (his natural role) and try Forss up front. Greenwood is also much more effective playing wide left, it's where he's played most of the season, but now Carrick is stuck on this idea of playing him a striker.
Bizarre.

Maybe but id rather have Greenwood on the right out of position and have Forss up top

Both are concerning, Glover has had some good performances for us so I’ll give Carrick the benefit of the doubt but if he starts him Saturday then he’s having a laugh

He would be on the bench. He will never start him up front

Start Silvera on the right, play Deing in goal, Forrs as a 9, we win that game comfortably. Easy to say but I guess Carrick is trying to be loyal to Glover & Greenwood, who to be fair have done a job for him in the absence of others. Time to get real, play your best team Mr Carrick

He’d probably have Forss on the bench

I hope it’s a Jones thing. Otherwise I’m sceptical of his judgment as Greenwood isn’t up to it as it stands.

I like For but thought he had one his poorer games for us tonight.

Puts Forss on the bench, obviously.

Pointless getting excited by it all. Another game without a striker in the strikers position. Defence all over the place.
Some good balls across the box and no one near them. Legs twitching after the ball has gone past them. A striker would be throwing themselves at balls like that.
Absolute garbage from all of them the chairman and other suits ; the manager and the team.
13thplace and away to the probable champions next.
