Consilio, I hope you are right but I do have my doubts that Nuhiu is creating space deliberately and its just happening by default!!  I just think a better striker will take more advantage of having someone of FF quality behind him, but its Nuhiu's shirt at the moment so lets hope you are right and that pairing starts to click.

I have been thinking that for over a year. 

Nuhiu doesn't have the skill or pace to turn defenders so compensates by dropping deep. This does create some space for others but it means that he is rarely in the box when needed when we attack with pace.

I also agree with Consilio that he is our best starting option at the moment. However, we should be looking to replace him with Joao after an hour when Nuhiu has done his job of working the CBs over so Joao can use his pace against their tiring legs.
