Saha or Yakubu?

[Phil Neville Superstar]

On their day, both fully fit, who would you opt for up front?

 

[ToxtethBlue]

Yakubu to start, Saha as an impact sub.

 

[Neiler]

Yak everytime!

 

[ijjysmith]

Beckford....oooo controversial!

 

[Gwladys Nights]

Saha shades it. It's very close though. I go back and forth on this alot.

 

[chicoazul]

If were playing 4-5-1, Yakubu.

 

[ijjysmith]

Joao Silva.....the new Pauleta I heard.

 

[Topblue]

The Yak his touch is the acest.

 

[Nordecke]

both fully fit? Saha and Yak paired in 4-4-2, or 4-4-1-1

 

[StDomingosGringo]

I agree with Neiler and others saying that Yak fits the 451 system better than Saha. Yak links play more intelligently and the midfield is more productive with him in the side for me. (I don't have stats to back that up it's just what I think.) Saha is the better player technically and can score from nothing but I'd like to see him used when Yak is not performing or alongside another striker.

if saha had any work ethic at all, it'd be him. but it has to be a fit yak.

Its a No Brainer for me Yak EVERY time. Someone quoted Saha 15 goals in 30 starts , well Yak is something like 6 in 12 starts !

THT..

Aren't they both the same average? Both come out to .5 goals a game. Sorry to go all mathematical on you.

 

[TX Bill]

It's even steven for me.

Both are different players but I think you end up with the same results.
