Someone like Mario gomez, who's available at 15m, will greatly balance things up.

I can just foresee us dropping points this season because we have no plan B or attackers who can head the ball.

And we're going to score less than 5 goals from corners. You heard it here first.


Height isn't a particularly relevant attribute when discussing headers. It's about timing, positioning, anticipation and actual heading ability.

Robbie Fowler - 5ft 8ish - scored plenty of headers
Peter Crouch - 11ft 3 - hardly ever scores with his head

Look, if our current crop of forwards know how to use their heads and score with timing and anticipation like Robbie, I won't be so worried. The problem is we suck in that department!
