FALSE 9

Reading a fascinating article by Jonathan Wilson of the Guardian about strikers dropping deep to disrupt markers, and it got me thinking about how we could utilise a 'false nine'.

If you can't be bothered to read the article, a false nine is basically a striker that drops very deep to pick up possession, usually playing off a more central, attacking forward player, I think wayne curtis could play this role very well.
