a 2nd/3rd string for cups of:
Vlasic Mirallas Lookman
Calvert-Lewin

There's plenty of available options when all fit to be honest, combining pace with movement, guile etc. lennon in there too.

We can make do with above options (minus bolasie and barkley) until jan, by which time, hopefully we'll have got something lined up.
 

I'd like a change of style where we can play with a decent tricky forward. Unfortunately we don't look like we can play that style.

Calvert lewin is more likely to be our main man tbh.

Have to say all of those line ups look woeful, too.
 
Arsenal have been doing it for a while with better football and probably better players, and they can't win the league.
we will just end up passing back to defence and across the midfield more.
 

Spot on, let's hope he has a contingency plan or we're pretty much knackered.
DCL is going to be the main man, with Rooney and Sandro rotating with him on occasion, neither of which are ideally suited to the role. It's also putting a massive responsibility on DCLs shoulders. Hope the lad is up to it.

Poor show really. Koeman's like a groom who has picked all his bridesmaids but doesn't have a wife.

At the end of the day, if DCL steps up to the plate we could come out of this relatively unscathed, but that would be more luck than judgement.

This new Croatian lad plus Ross possibly coming back into the fold, could turn into wild cards. We'll have to see how that saga unfolds I guess.
 
I'd be happy if we stopped playing 5 at the back with 3 defensive midfielders first. Baby steps.
Agreed. No problem with 5 at the back, but one of Schneiderlin or Gana need to make way for the extra defender.

If the Lukaku goals are going to be replaced by several players this season, we need to have more than a couple of players on the pitch capable of scoring them.
 
Think we will be fine personally until we bring one in. There's not many better than Rooney at dropping off to link up play. If we can get runners beyond him think we'll be fine.

Also think Sandro is quick enough to play off the shoulder when required.

DCL is more suited to a target man role than Rom was, just a shame he hasn't developed a scoring instinct yet.

Yes agree with you. Except after this year and last summer transfer windows, I cant see any major signings happening in the January window. I just don't think moshri and board want to spend money (saving for stadium? ) and they planned to have just sandro DCL and Rooney as our attack all along for this season.
