Thank you enzo. Nailed on the head and how.
A lot of people do not get the concept of continuity, and its importance for a player and team alike. We can blame our forwards all we want and say they're not good enough, but the primary reason for that is, that they are always on edge. And psychologically, it is the one position on the pitch that is as tangible as that of a goalkeeper. Where your performance is measured by the goals you score. But nobody realises the other important aspects of the player's mental makeup. How he is always worried about being subbed or making a mistake because he knows that he gets disjointed playing time to begin with. No forward, whether Vucnic, Matri or even a Van Persie can be effective under those circumstances.

Not at all. He had 10 goals before Borriello inexplicably benched him. There was nothing fair about that situation and you know it, because Bprriello himself was coming off an injury.

that's ironic coz Borriello didn't score for close to 10 after replacing Matri.The point is, that we have seen different constellations of our attackers, but even though some turned out well, they have not been considered superior and got adapted. It's like we rotate to rotate, rather than to find a successful constellation/solution or to give somebody a break. Further, it's not as easy as that. Sometimes the team appears mediocre, and it's not necessarily the attacker's fault we don't score. It's hard to evaluate, but that's football.
To be concrete, Matri did not impress me at all this season, while Quagliarella did. So why not bring Quag and Vucinic for the next three games?
