2 strikers 100 goals

The end result of last nights tie was of course a formality but still Man city played a 1/2 decent team, not only that but as if a 6-0 start wasnt enough they played with 2 strikers something Allardyce still does not seem intent on trying. Yes, he did play it in the 2nd half of the Newcastle game just gone but that was when we were chasing the game, last night he could of if he wanted thought "stuff this, the tie is dead, i'll play 2 up front and see what happens" yet no we still persisted with the 1 upfront. Yes Carroll did get much needed game time but i just wonder if he had someone playing tight next to him, could we be better at getting forward and actually creating chances,we are constantly told that 442 was dead and 1 up front being supported by on running midfielders was the way to play, that was until some old Chilean manager walked into City and decided that was the way to do it. 6 months later just over halfway through the season they have scored over 100 goals, thats what happens when you play 2 strikers, you score more goals.
