@OrlandoLionsDen Dike is the man, him coming on and occupying the defence won us that game, the turn and touch and getting the shot off before Grizi's first was very good, he made sure the keeper couldn't catch the ball.
@Cgoodwin188 Without him we don't get back into the game. We need another actual striker that will occupy the defence like Dike does, they don't need to be great themselves just occupy the defence and let out attacking mids and wingers work in the space created.
@EddieTheCommish He's retired now but like a Kei Kamara type of a couple of years ago. We have a lot of quality in attacking mid with Grizi, Ellis, Marco, Ojeda, even Spicer to get the goals.
@OrlandoCitySC We need another actual striker because Dike can't go 90 every game, idk if he can even go 90 with his injury record. I'd take an MLS vet striker, doesn't have to be flashy but just someone to occupy the defence.
@OrlandoCitySC Dike won us that game. The game completely changed when he came on, great touch on the turn and getting the shot off meant the keeper couldn't hold it and it dropped to Grizi on the first and overall he just occupied the defence giving others the room to work in.
@Fladoodler18 Idk if Dike can start and I want to be very careful with him due to his injuries. I think the game showed that we need more than 1 actual striker though.
Dike just occupying those CBs won us that game.
@EddieTheCommish Idk if there is any around but an MLS vet striker on a cheap I wouldn't even mind, doesn't have to be the best just occupied the defenders and let us rest Dike whilst keeping an actual striker there.
@EddieTheCommish Ojeda's better at making those runs from the midfield in behind than occupying a CB though. Dike lets Grizi, Ellis, Marco, Tincho etc have room to play in.
@HogtwnHooligans Offensive mastermind yet can't play a striker. Just put Dike on at least he'll actually be in the box for these crosses. Right now we're crossing to absolutely nobody because Griezmann is waiting for a cut back on the edge and nobody else is there.
@Fladoodler18 Dike needs to come on, we don't have a striker and Ellis wants to be a playmaker a lot more than a striker.
I thought Pasalic would at least take some long shots but he isn't and has been shipped back off to the right.
@mikeaspillane Honestly bring on Iago and move Brekalo out left. It can't get worse and Brekalo would stay back more (considering Dorsey just bombs forward that's not a bad thing).
@EddieTheCommish I thought Marco would at least take long shots playing up top but he's not even doing that and they've moved him back to the right for some reason.
