Madine barely won a header in his recent run in the team, what he did do was hold up the ball quite well and bring others into play to suggest he is another who could do better if the ball was played to his feet more, but you only have to look at what we doing with any throw in we have that is not in our attacking third to see how reliant we are on hitting our striker with aerial "fighting balls".
