Hopefully Saha will be back sooner rather than later because we can't rely on Anichebe. He just isn't good enough for the Premiership.

I'm not going to **** him off, because he has saved us in Europe, but only in certain circumstances. He is more a battering ram than a prolific striker.

He has no pace, he has no first touch, he has no awareness of other players, he has no panache, and no real close control. I can't believe he got more games than a fit Vaughan!

He is never going to be a Premiership striker. Bottom line.

Maybe Moyes should be looking at other options. Perhaps Carlo Nash could go upfront?
 

He played ok today mate. Not brilliant but tried and his attitude was spot on.

He had no support in the 1st half.

He won't get his very far mind.

He had Cahill, and he had Fellaini and Osman and Arteta and Pienaar. We were on the offensive nearly all the match, so he wasn't on his own. but he lacked so much.
 

But so many lack much surely not just him. What was the point of bringing VDM on then a few minutes later taking the only "striker" off?

For me it is not just Vic, look back at the strikers we have had and how they fared under Moyes 5-4-1, not very well hence all gone.

Yakubu scored many goals last season in a 451. So its all down to ability, plus we had 5 attacking midfielders, so almost 6 forwards + Lescott who scored twice. So its not the formation, its the player. He's not good enough.
 
No matter who the striker is, he would only be as good as the chances created. What was created for Vic, mind I am not saying he is prem class but trying to put in a bit of balance.

Its all about movement too, looking for the flick on. Making the right runs. Anichebe did none of that.

Look he's not good enough for the Premiership. If Cal can **** of Fellaini left right and centre. And others can **** off goal machine supremo Yakubu, than I can mention that this lad is a little off the Premiership pace.

You know me, not going to blow smoke up any players arse.
 
You see Moyes has singled out Anichebe for praise, and that the only reason he came off was because he was injured.

Well my god. What the [Poor language removed]? Anichebe doesn't do anything worthy of being in a Premiership starting eleven. I'm sorry he just doesn't. He has no end product, yet he has the attitude that he's got a bigger cock that John Holmes. Winds me up that we as a club constantly protect the average. Nil Satis Nisi Optimum. Wonder when that's going to ring true again.

I feel sorry for the lad because he's way over his head, and Moyes isn't helping him at all.
 

He doesn't really have his "striker awareness" yet, though that comes with more experience. The likes of the Yak and Saha seem to instinctively know where the ball is going to go, and that is the difference.

But that's something that is needed now, and if it isn't here now then it won't be at this level.

How many great Premiership strikers have only started to develop when they are in their 20s? Most are known from teens onwards.
