Does is really matter where you play a striker on the left or right side up front. I am birmingham and have michael owen i have played him on the right side all season where jerome got 26 goals then i sold him to chelsea but michael owen didnt cos in 19 games half of a season. So then in the second half of the season i put him on the left side and he scored goals after goals and finished 2nd top scorer in the league on 23 goals. So does it matter can forwards only play on certain sides or is this just a coinsdence??
