Two Up Top – Time to try Hogh and Duran as Celtic striking partnership
It’s evident that Kasper Hogh would flourish with a strike partner namely Camilo Duran. A change of formation should now be under consideration…
Kasper Hogh is a player under severe scrutiny at the moment as his long goal drought continues to be held against him by large sections of the SMSM.
The £11 million Dane bought himself some time however and showed that he’s still very much a popular figure among the Celtic supporters with a player of the match performance in Sunday’s 1-0 win over Kilmarnock at Celtic Park.
He looked to have ended his long wait for a goal after firing home from close range in the 16th minute of the clash against the Ayrshire side, but unfortunately the strike was ruled out by VAR due to an extremely soft infringement leading up to the goal.
He did however show great hunger and desire to keep going, and proved that he is much more than just your stereotypical target man by making a nuisance of himself in the attacking third as well as creating several chances for his teammates.
This led to him leaving the field to a much deserved standing ovation, with his efforts ending in a much deserved player of the match award.
It’s particularly evident however that the Danish international would excel much better with a strike partner, a move that would undoubtedly bring out the best in not just the player, but the team as a whole.
Camilo Duran would be the natural choice to partner Kasper in a two man attack which would mean Martin O’Neill being forced to switch to a 4-4-2 or his once favoured 3-5-2.
Camilo is an all round striker who never stops running, and of course has proven he can find the back of the net, with his assist record just as impressive.
Kasper who possess great physical attributes as well as having a record of finding the back of the net would complement the Colombian brilliantly in what would have the makings of a terrific and productive strike partnership.
With the likes of Jota, Yang, Hassan, and Mika Baur supplying them with their creativity, they could prove to be a very successful partnership playing in their much favoured positions.
Just an Ordinary Bhoy
