Are good strikers hard to find? I would've thought they'd be dime a dozen like Guards in the NBA.
Classic no 9 strikers are like gold dust with how the game is now. Look at most of these teams at the tournament and very few have them. And this is at a world class level.

The ones who are, are getting up in their age (Kane, Lewandowski, Giroud). Haaland is the exception. Outside of them, attacking options are usually wingers.

Ever since Messi and Ronaldo reached their peaks, the false 9 or wingers are preferred outside of the 4-4-2 CF role.

looking at the England game highlights.

Kane isn't playing his way into form. Get him off the pitch man.

That right there was a good look at why you can't give McKennie any time in midfield. Never afraid to put a ball through. A foot the other way and it's 2-0.

:wow:
