New Front 3

[CoplandRoad83 3,382]

Has to be the absolute priority in the summer for me.

I know we have a load of other changes needed, but this is the most important area.  Especially against them.

We could have played until now and still not scored. Severe lack of quality, killer instinct and composure. And Beale needs to take responsibility for allowing Morelos to float around when we need a proper striker in and around the area wanting goals.  Fuck overcomplicating things, get a proper striker and play to their strengths.

We finished that game with what, Sakala, Matondo and Hagi as a front 3?? Honkin. 

Watching these games it honestly feels like the likes of Tav or Arfield are our main goal threats, still. 

We dont have an endless amount of money, and as much as we need to stop shiting the bed at the back, we really need to get people in that can hurt teams as goals breed confidence around the team and we huff and puff like fuck, before our inevitable concnetration lapse at the back.

We need to completely restructure our team not just the front 3.

[VERITAS VOS LIBREBETS 3,370]

Always build from the back.

[The Godfather 73,016]

Need at least £15million chucked at it if we are to win titles again and that's just the front 3.

Where is that coming from given we need another 15 chucked at defence midfield and keeper.

[WWTC 2,271]

If we go with a front 3 next year, i dont expect any of the current players to be in our first 11. Season 

[superallysbears 7,894]

A new attack is absolutely needed, Beale implementing it is another thing, his football so far has been garbage in that department and I'm not sure new players will change that.

Their front 3 didnt cost that

[bluenoz 31,354]

Morelos taking throw-ins summed it up. There is no cohesion in the front three and our finishing is laughable. No composure whatsoever.

We need to find the next Prso or Jelavić in a hurry.

Ours will need to. They will improve and have 30 odd million to do it.

We have fuck all

[Vision 16,807]

Said it during the match thread, I was happy with the hunger and desire from most of the squad today but the front three just points out why we lose these matches. 

The scum forwards harried and pressured our defence into making mistakes while ours jog and amble about uninterested.

Jota, Maeda and Kyogo cost 12-13 million.

[Number5 2,169]

Like I said in the match day thread.

Might have been Ally who mentioned the stat?

Jota and one of their other front men have scored 8 goals this season against us.

Kent and Morelos have scored 6 in 30+, that is absolutely disgusting.

Their starting 3 against ours wont be a million miles apart in terns of cost (potential cost if you include Tillman).

We swap ours with theirs and the title goes to Ibrox.

Pathetic when you think about it.

Split hairs over a transfer fees all you want, but the point is we need investment to raise the quality.

They’ve spent a relative fortune on their front three, and a decent whack on the three who play second fiddle to them, do you think we are going to get so lucky that we pick up between three and five forward players who match their output, at a fraction of the financial outlay?

12 on the starting front three, another 6-7 million on the three backups and that’s before they do any business this Summer, because unlike us, you know they won’t stand still.

Good job we’ve got Sakala under contract for next season though. He’s a real difference maker.

That's the worry, they stood still at 9IAR and fucked it, they will never make that mistake again. They will spend a big chunk of the 30 million to improve.

We simply don't have a hope in fuck unless someone chucks in the same amount and even then we need huge luck that the players actually shine.

If not its another treble and our record trophies count will be gone in a few seasons. 

It's pathetic

I get that mate, just making the point as things stand I think changing the front 3 if we get quality makes the biggest difference. I know we have a lot of other weaknesses, but if I had to prioritise spending, thats where I think it should largely go.

[Stunels 1,270]

Front three needs replacing but spending the majority of the money on a decent finisher shout be priority imo

It will be gone next season if we don't start winning trophies. 

They'll only be one away from equalling ours with this latest treble.

When Fat Ange came in they trusted their man and backed him financially. That’s what we need, but nobody knows where that money is coming from.

A Summer of rummaging around the bargain basement for cripples, bosman’s and broken players and trying to patch together a team out of them isn’t going to be anywhere near enough. 

Honestly scunnered as fuck with it all.

We have a decent finisher (Roofe),what we need is a decent finisher who isn’t injured 90% of the time.

[Malkytfp1 18,817]

Yes we definitely need a front three but just as important we need a new style/identity and formation which allows us to create. Beales useless set up means we struggle to create from open play.

[Moody Blue Legend 62,338]

Absolutely agree.  We don’t lose that today with an improvement from that shitshow.
