Much of Burkina Faso's best first - half work came from Bance, who
held the ball up effectively and had his own sights of goal too.
With Toure down injured and playing Sagbo onside, Skrtel attempted to fill the position his injured teammate had left, but rather than making a challenge on Sagbo, he only allowed the striker to
hold the ball up effectively.
Not exact matches
Anyone who has followed Danny Welbeck's Manchester United career will be aware of the fact that Danny is lethal playing down the left - hand side and can also provide more work - rate in that area of the pitch, while Olivier can
effectively hold the
ball up upfront.
The Belgian international can also fit any tactical system as he can
effectively run the channels,
hold the
ball up and he also has the ability to be a typical «fox in the box» kind of striker.
Giroud does not score, assist and
hold up ball effectively for one game then he is completely shite, useless, lamp post, etc... He is no where be the top striker we need but he can be a super-sub, a plan B that people cried out at the time when we had Van Persie.
Now I am going to suggest that if we can't attract a world - class
holding midfielder (not talking blood - n - guts destroyer here but more a cultured interceptor, reads the play well, tackles
effectively, good passing range, breaks
up attacks and recycles the
ball quickly into attacking moves — so not Wanyama) to provide cover for the ever - improving Coquelin, we probably shouldn't worry too much because we have Rambo who can step into that role when Coquelin or Santi aren't available (injured / suspended).
