The Support Striker Role

Jelavic doesn't have to push out wide to avoid Fellaini... They coped pretty damn well last season when we hit top form and scored goals for fun.
The top 3rd of the pitch is massive with more than enough room for both, they just have to think a bit more imo.
 

Jelavic would definitely score more with someone like Mirallas, Osman or Pienaar behind him.

I'm not sure why people are scared about pushing Felli back a bit. No reason he can't play in a number 8 or 6 role. His 2 goals against Fulham came when he was pushed further back.

Agree with this as well, still glorious in that position. Plus, he scores on set pieces. Our more nimble players get pushed out wide, and I'd love to see one of them behind Jelavic just to try things out.

Not sure if Naismith is the guy, but willing to give it a go.
 
Jelavic is not finishing chances that he was burying last season

If he wasnt getting the chances then you would worry but he is getting more chances this season than last - he hardly missed anything last season
