He will be targeted and heavily marked. Scoring will get harder. However, like Makama he can take on multiple players and get through.
 
Kick offs these days - how tgey have changed. Generally now just tge centre forward on the centre spot and kicks it back to the midfield or even the keeper.
The strangest one I've seen was last Saturday in the Brighton v Liverpool match. Liverpool kicked off and deliberately sent it high and out over the line for a Brighton throw about level with their box. Commentator said a few teams are doing that now to put the oppo immediately under direct pressure. Must have a few training ground systems to snuff out the oppo getting clear but Brighton were exceptionally good at getting many short sharp one touch triangle passes and escaped. Boy how tactics have changed - seems a bit desperate for options!!!!

Norwich tried that a few years ago. At first opposition fans jeered until they found their team under pressure in the box. However, teams soon adapted and we stopped giving away the ball on kickoff. Just saved it for the rest of the game.
