Bolton striker Nicolas Anelka has raised concerns about being deployed as a lone striker during the early weeks of his Wanderers career. The French international has admitted that he is re-adjusting to the Premiership again but he has described the Trotters tactics as "kick and rush", a style which he says he isn't used to..

"I have started to re-find the rhythm of the English league which I know by heart and I love," Anelka told the Daily Mirror.

"I am playing alone up front which is not what I prefer. Our game is based on 'kick and rush' so I don't get the ball much.

Anelka also revealed that he was supposed to be operating as a striker alongside fellow forward Kevin Davies who has recently returned to action following a cheekbone injury.

"At the start, I was supposed to play with Kevin Davies. But the team is winning. We annoy other sides and, if we don't score much, we concede even fewer goals. We press a lot, so as far as fitness is concerned I am at 100 percent."
