True but with Juve do they still play 3 with wingbacks? Not seen any of their games this season under Sarri. If so that leaves 3 or 2 out and out attack at best so yeah it would work if you had speed either side of him or a cf behind like Dybala or firmino.

{Ed001's Note - none of the ones I saw had a back 3, Sarriball doesn't use a back 3! Sarri likes at least two of the forwards to stay up and not track back, so they can keep the opposition defence back. As they mainly have the ball, it is not a problem, but it can cause issues when they are under the cosh for a period of time.}

You think? The onus these days is for tracking back where possible and there are many strikers these days who do contribute.

{Ed001's Note - not every team plays the same way. Juve don't expect their forwards to track back, for example.}

Silky. Couldn’t have put it better myself. Loved the sky sports interview earlier this year too. Seems a top guy. Don’t think there’s place for that type of striker in football atm but as we all know it changes very regularly so who knows.

{Ed001's Note - there is always a place for a player like that.}

Berbatov imo was the best at what he did. I still get goosebumps at the Liverpool hat trick, the 5 goals at Blackburn but the best moment of his career for me that unbelievable almost impossible flick against West Ham as the ball was going out of play. Would love to see a player profile on him, other than lack of defensive ability or willingness he was insane. One of the best first touch’s I have ever seen and I’m sure tris will agree on that.

{Ed001's Note - he was a lovely player to watch. Silky I think sums him up. If he had natural fitness to go with it, so he could do the work that some others can do, it would have added to his game. As he didn't have that natural fitness, it would have been detrimental to ask him to chase back etc. There is no such thing as the perfect player, so you are always having to work around their deficiencies to a degree. Berbatov was one of those who had so much ability on the ball it made up for his lack of workrate defensively.}
