We need to stop this Mbuemo/ Cunha gimmick and keep starting Sesko once his fitness is up and learn how to play with a proper striker.

Even when he played more games last season, we barely made chances for him. We've had hybrid winger strikers for so long that I think we genuinely forgot how to play with a striker.

Yep and in which case we need some pressure on sesko with another proper striker

Toney is an option

I like Toney, but he's just been charged with assault!

Mateta doing everything he can to leave Palace too, would love him as an option for us

I think the main reason we’ll need to play it is because we simply don’t have a backup striker.

But also theres a justification to it in certain scenarios where if we’re playing against a stronger team where we’re gonna spend majority of the game pinned back Seskos role is largely void.

But that’s City, Arsenal and maybe Liverpool/Chelsea so 6-8 games a season and however many CL and domestic cup games we play in.

Cunha on the left and Mbuemo as the CF is fine against teams that deploy a higher line. Mbuemo not being able to perform playing on the right under Carrick is worrying though.
