It’s the one position where tracking back is not really high on my agenda
Centre-spot to penalty spot, don’t want them in the channels or back for corners, want them working both centre-halves with most of their work done in both the 6 and 18 yard boxes where the ball should be put.
Goals are mainly scored from inside the boxes so don’t see the point of strikers chasing the channels. That’s for midfielders, wingers or full backs.
Shearer was a box player hence the number of goals he scored.
