Title: Anyone know if Riise has played up front before?
Post by: FFCOutpostCommander on February 06, 2010, 01:46:06 AM
Roy has had some success playing attacking mids like Dempsey and Gera up front when we've been short of natural forwards, what about Riise? He has many of the same qualities and would spare him his weakest aspect in not having to defend in the back third. Could be worth a try given the lack of other options.

Quite a lot of people on this forum seem to rate him, from what little i've seen i dont.I'd much prefer his mummys boy brother, who to be honest isn't very popular at Fulham.

Clints success is due to the fact that he is naturally a midfielder that is slotted right behind the forwards, and has been tried and tested at an international level up front as well

No, Bjorn hasn't, at least not professionally. He's been played on both sides of midfield and in the centre as well as at full back once or twice.
