Recent games has come to show one thing about our team - we lack a fox in a box. To complicate matters, we play with a striker and two wingers (who almost rarely shoot).
Since every coin has two sides, let's look at the perks of not having a sufficiently tenacious character in the team. #1, We never really depend on a single person to bring in the goals, and I really mean we don't when I see the size of our substitute bench exceeds the queue outside KOI bubble tea at its peak. #2, The role of a striker has dramatically evolved over the history of soccer, and the most primary purpose of a good striker is to be man-marked (, even better if men-marked). Strategically located at the final third of the pitch, you probably wouldn't have more than 5minutes of the ball, but for the 90minutes you've got to be running. #3, Well, who needs a fox, we can always recruit one from the zoo.
In recent games, we have seen Jackson contribute a large portion of the goals, shifting to a striker position. Did he really have more chances? I would really doubt that, but he nails almost every good half-chances that comes along. This has probably brought many of the outright strikers to shame. Just to name one, Booney (HAHA).
With just a few more games to the end of the season, hopefully we get our act together and make every good chances count into the goal tally. We really shouldn't be resting on our laurels and praying that the others drop points.
