Why Strikers Are Disappearing from Modern Football | The Overlap Breakdown

Welcome to The Overlap Breakdown Podcast! Our analysts, Harrison and Umir, sit down to explore how the death of the classic 4-4-2 and two-man strike partnerships, combined with the rise of individual coaching and the demand for positional versatility, have reshaped the role of the No. 9. With modern tactical setups prioritising rigid structures both in and out of possession, teams now give up far less space, making it harder than ever for traditional strikers to thrive. From pressing systems to fluid attacking rotations, we’ll explain why classic goal-scorers are becoming a dying breed and whether the striker role, as we once knew it, is truly extinct.
