Why do people keep slagging off Portugal for not having a CF? How little they know of tactics! Nuno Gomes is not a CF that scores goals (though he does) he makes space, works hard against DFs and is super intelligent allowing players in deeper positions with speed and craft to take advantage (Ronaldo, Simao, Quaresma). The thing is that’s how Man Utd have played over the past two seasons – ‘Can’t win a title without a CF’. Good teams obviously have good players but great teams know how to get the best from their good players.
