You forgot no pace but Chrissy wasn't tall. I didn't day let's do it but it would be interesting. People used to say Macfarland was a great centre forward wasted at centre half but not me.

Burns started as a forward before his move to Forest didn't he? Not sure whether I am right but I have some niggling memory of him scoring all 5 goals for Birmingham in a 5-1 defeat which was in 1976. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtis in to play next to Bird in midfield. It’s the future ?? I once stood at Arsenal when we were losing and Cloughie stuck Roy Mac and Dave Mackay up front to no avail, fun to watch though.

jono Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 It’s not the same I know, But Thierry Henri was a kind of average plus winger, then Wenger tried him as a striker. The rest is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I remember Sheffield Wednesday turning their central defender Paul Warhurst into a makeshift striker and he was fabulous. Even talk of an England call-up. Matty Clarke I'm not so sure, but it's true that players can shift positions. As I've said elsewhere, Evans is a far better centre half than midfielder and Bielik is a far better midfielder than centre half. McFarland could have played anywhere he was that good. Having a goal threat from centre backs is very important as they take away good defenders at corners and the like which also makes it easier for our strikers. Let's hope Matty starts banging them in soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a former centre-forward and did indeed score 4 against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
