Strikers don't always have to be strong, it depends on their individual game style.

Of course strength helps, but it isn't the be all and end all.

Chucho is a speed player. He prefers the ball played through the defence as he plays off the last man and uses his pace to cause havoc.

The problem is that Blues love a good hoof session, or a cross, and at 5'6" he's never going to win it in the air. We really need to change the play a little bit and play more central balls on the ground - do that and we'll see him score more.

I do wish people would get off his back a little.

It's obvious Phillips is better introduced as a sub. He cant do 90 mins. Be interesting to see if Benitez would be good for the last twenty minutes perhaps. Jerome's control let him down again. What do they do in training? He could easily have had two today.

Great day out. It's great getting a win from being behind, priceless! :bluzz:

Sorry to h-jack your thread but for me it's Jerome i know some of u might beat me up for this but he is AWFUL he couldn't hit a barn door. I know he has pace i know he runs dfenders ragged but ffs he is a striker and strikers like Phillips know how to score goals - simple Jerome does not have th instict or foresight or brain to be a striker. I for one would not be dissappoited if he goes in the summer....to a championship club !!!!!!!! He'll do for now as we haven't got any real alternative but bye bye in the summer.............

Oh and he is lazy too...................

Oh and I am NOT moaning just giving an opinion ok

Need to recruit a whole new forward line in the summer

Not doubting the players mate and their desire really it's just a "healthy" debate and us expressing our opinions whihc is what this forum is all about. Agreed we are on a fantastic run and long may it last but we do still have frustrations we wish to air with our fellow noses :banner: :banner: :banner:

Benitez is strong though, thats the thing.

He is just devoid of any sort of confidence at the moment. He isnt an out and out striker, he is used to playing off a big striker upfront, and playing in the hole between midfield and the striker... but we're hitting some long balls to him and Jerome and they dont really win enough headers between them.

Benitez is our best striker, like him or not, its true. He does a job for the side with his pace, but needs a goal or two for a bit more confidence.

But I'll take it now then that Benitez or Jerome are now going to become the new scapegoat then? Ok, just so I know for future reference. McSheffrey's gone, Bent's gone, Damien Johnson's gone, so I guess some new ones were needed.

I disagree massively, Benitez contributes to the game in many ways. He has been instrumental to many of our goals this seasons and never stops running. I agree with the fact that he is light on the ball and dispossessed easy because of his stature but this can be resolved. Last year Agbonkahore had the same issue but during the summer and last season he bulked up and is stronger on the ball, Phillips is around the same size as Benitez and manages to keep a ball at his feet so it is doable.

Jerome however :rolleyes: he is just not up to the job. I bet with someone on the forum when he had five goals that he wouldn't get another five goals this season. The bet was made on the 9th January so still plenty of time however i think my money is safe. Jerome is the weak link in our team and can not be relied upon for goals like he is supposed to be. How many chances does he need to score? Put the likes of Tuncay behind the ball on the chances he has had and we would be looking at different Premier League table statistics for our goals scored. Jerome is rubbish but were stuck with him for another 4 years :(

Chucho has just came back from an injury and is still probably carrying it a little, he's not going to be 100%, give him a break.

As for Jerome, I thought he had a decent game, won endless corners and caused Derby's defence lots of problems with his pace and power.

We won 2-1! We are In the quarter final of the FA cup and 8th in the league! What more do you want? KRO! :drink: :Blues:

I think playing long balls to chucho doesnt help neither, Give it to his feet not his head, when the defender is a foot taller than him. And jerome I think he doesnt get the credit he deserves. He wins most of his headers and causes problems for defenders with the pace he has.

Chucho is a talent, and had the potential to be a bloody good player, if not for us, then for someone else.

I have a feeling that if he becomes the resident scapegoat and the one everyone decides to criticise he'll end up going elsewhere and the phrase 'Dont know what you've got till its gone' comes to mind.

Stop knocking Chucho everyone, he does a job for the team and gives us something different - without him we look really flat. Not every striker has to score goals, sometimes it is enough to help create them.
