I agree with you, God knows where someone like Earnie or Chopra would play now, maybe off the left wing. Strikers will come back into fashion at some point but at present, they don't fit the ultra possession snooze fests that so many managers like to use. NB, possession football can be very, very good but most managers aren't good enough to implement it.
