Striker instructions in a 4-5-1


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

Just taken over Everton in 2017... James Vaughan is an England striker and very good, but is the only striker I have of any quality. With some great midfielders, I was wondering what instructions I should give him. As he is the only striker, I feel obliged to set him as a target man, but do I need to? He's good in the air but not exeptional, and quick, with a great shot. What would/do you set a lone striker's instructions as?

Cheers,

retrain him to "hold up the ball" and then instruct him to do that. He doesn't have to be a target man, but if he is he doesn't have to be in the air. You can instruct players to feed target man to feet, which if he's fast and has a good first touch, might be advisable.
