Lets start with Fowler and Cisse against Wigan. What have we got to lose? Morientes looks like he wouldn't score if he played till next Tuesday (his abject failure to show an ounce of anticipation for Fowlers dummy and go tonight summed him up for me) while Crouch in all probablitity is in need of some contemplation on the bench.
Cisse is just Cisse, all petulance, quivering bottom lip and frowns but, and it's a big but, he is the only one out of four strikers who posesses any pace whatsoever. He is the only one who will force the opposition to defend 10 yards deeper. I have this crazy notion. Call me mad, p!ssed or whatever, that Fowler maybe the man to unlock the Cisse enigma a little. Maybe the little fella can drop off and play him in with a subtle little deflection. Maybe a dummy or an overhead flick exposing the last man to Cisse's one major attribute. Maybe Cisse will do nothing as usual but the fact that Wigan go deep to counteract his pace will allow Fowler to get in amongst it in the box. Maybe it's all nonsense but they can't really posess less of a goal threat than Morientes and Crouch. Let's go with it.
