Three times Champions? Come again ... don't go confusing the number of Championship trophies we have with the number of McDonalds employee of the month stars on your badge.
You have combined GDP of most Africa to play with and you're still reliant on one average striker. You bought at least half a dozen of them in the summer, don't go rolling that excuse out.
Congratulations on the most clueless post of the day.
Three times, as in three in a row.
Adebayor is a different type of centre forward than those that played. It was that size and presence that has a huge bearing on our ability to keep the ball up that end of the field. His loss could have been handled better if we had had Santa Cruz or even Benjani available but we didn't and it had a big impact on the way we had to play the game.
We only had one fit striker in Bellamy, who played wide left and a clearly unfit one in Tevez, playing a lead role that dioes not suit him. The rest were injured or suspended.
As it happens, we bought three strikers and let six go.
You're not dim, so don't act it.
