Hi eds, just out if curiosity and hypothetically speaking, if Benteke were to be injured, and sturridge, origi and ings is not ready, besides playing Firimno as false 9, what other option do we have? Is Jerome sinclair still available as stop gap? Or is there any youth we can call upon?
{Ed001's Note - Ibe could play there, Sinclair could (though it would be unlikely), it is more likely someone like Kent or even Teixeira as a false nine.}

I posted a while ago about playing ibe upfront, i would love to see how he did if he got a few training sessions practising timing his runs into space. He seems strong enough to play back to goal against a CB and he would stretch a defence.

North, i do see Ibe as possibility too and very good one as he is definitely more mobile than ben. I mean if sterling can play as striker i do not see why a more talented Ibe cannot.
