Seriously false numbers nine

What a load of garbage

He's very raw but shows the odd good touch.

Needs to develop his speed and awareness if he has any chance of succeeding.

He looks completely useless

Tell me why he wise sage?

Because barca played so high up the pitch, they didn’t need a out and out striker, and this bullsheet, false nine was made up by the media.

He’s no number nine, it’s complete bull. He’s a forward, that’s it.

So you are saying that all forwards are the same?

No am saying false number 9 is complete bullsheet

Barca and Spain didn’t need a striker because at that time, they were camped on the edge of the other team box every game, the false number 9 was a complete and utter myth

irs it a myth it's an interpretation of a style of forward. I think you are ink too "English". Very archaic LIW.

Behave yourself.

I think he was signed for the u23s like Gomes, but has been forced in due to Kube's injury.

So a false 9 is an upside down 6?

No mikey

You’ve been conned by the media, and perfect example of champ manager wannabes

Number 9, false 9, true 9, upside down 9, backward 9, makes no difference.

Looks on the same level as Habib Habibou

I have no idea what a false nine is, I do know we have had a lot of imposter nines over the years

LIW, shows the power of the media. Mike is the reason things like the Shopping Channel exist.

A false nine is what some on here are, pretending to be what they are not.

I so want to be proved wrong but he will never make an impact in England, I said yesterday I don't ever see him scoring in a competitive match for us. Maybe because of when he comes on for us. Just isn't good enough. Don't see him as being any better than Lee Irwin.

A false nine is absolutely a thing.

What a bunch of absolute nonsense.

The false 9 phrase was created by the press/commentators regarding Spain because they didn't play with a striker, but instead Cesc Fabregas was their highest player up the pitch.

We don't and never will play with a system similar to this.

Agree rogan

It’s utter nonsense. It’s a made up thing, there is no false number nine.

Yes there clearly is.

Doesn't matter who coined the phrase. It still exists.

He’s a striker with quick feet and pace. Raw but will either get better or will move on in a year or two.

If he’d scored early doors last night we would have seen a different player I think.

I've seen a right nice trilby just you old bean 😎😎

Don't care how fast he can run...it's how fast his football brain is that makes the difference and not sure he has one.

Would love to be proved wrong though.

isnt a false 9 a 10?
