It’s time for David Moyes to start playing two up now and again,
That’s the opinion of Tony Cottee who believes that there is a case for teaming Gianluca Scamacca and Michail Antonio together on occasions.
TC – speaking exclusively to Claret and Hugh – is the perfect former player to make such a declaration based on his amazing partnership with Frank McAvennie – a duo who were probably our most successful up front.
Although he believes that David Moyes will eventually turn things around he clearly wants to see a change of system now and again – a suggestion with which not many would disagree.
He said: “I really don’t like one up. I would always play two in fact. Having said that I feel sorry for Scamacca not only because he is being played as the sole striker but because he is getting little service out of midfield.
He looks a decent striker to me but looks to me as though he really does need some help up top.
“As a new player trying to settle in, I believe having someone alongside him would help enormously.”
I expect Moyes to do what he normally does with our ‘strikers’ – ie leave them upfield on their own and give them no supply, and then give them the ‘hook’ on 74 minutes! 🙄
