The general consensus seems to be that Zohore needs more support, that way, he'll contribute more and get more opportunities, leading to more goals. That would help, but i'll ask this question-Since Zohore has established himself in the team, when has he ever linked up with one individual or looked like he has that type of thinking where he relies on players getting closer to him? i'd say he hasn't, and i'd also say that the evidence is shown by the type of goal he generally scores. I can't really pin what kind of player Ken is. He's not an out and out striker, neither a number 10. I wouldn't say that his movement is great, or his timing, and he's not very mobile. His heading is poor, he just doesn't look natural when he jumps for a ball.
His attributes are his strength on the ball, his ability to buy fouls by backing in, he holds the ball up well, has a good touch and can weight a pass, he's also very good on the half turn, a very strong runner with the ball and his size makes it very difficult for defenders if he gets into a position where he can turn them. What he isn't, is a box striker or the kind of player who wants the ball played up to his head. I'd like to see a someone play beyond Zohore, I think that he would be more affective if he played a little deeper, where there is more chance for him to have the ball played into his feet and more options to lay the ball off and create attacking options, I just can't see him forging an on field partnership with anyone, he just doesn't play that way, he's not an urgent player, he slows the game down, he's quite unique in style. Giving him more support would obviously be beneficial, but not necessarily the answer. getting him more involved and closer to the midfield play would benefit his game in my opinion.
