Crystal Palace star Yannick Bolasie reckons the team's front men strike fear into Premier League defences.
Bolasie, 25, fired home a hat-trick in Saturday's 4-1 win at Sunderland with Glenn Murray providing the assists and scoring one himself for his sixth goal in six games.
It's all part of manager Alan Pardew's attacking style which has seen the Eagles rise from the bottom three to midtable safety under his stewardship.
"I think we’ve got players who can cause problems for different sides on the pitch," the DR Congo international said.
"So you’ve got Wilfried (Zaha) on one side of the pitch and Jason (Puncheon) and myself on the other and obviously Glenn (Murray) is scoring up top.
"That’s making it difficult for teams to suss us out, doubling up on one side and we’ve still got myself and Jason on the other."
Bolasie had only scored once in the league this season and quadruple his tally after his fantastic efforts at the Stadium of Light.
He added: "The gaffer’s been on to me at training, the boys have as well – the likes of Shola. Everyone is saying I need to get more goals.
"Three goals have come at once, which is a bit weird. I’ve been working on that in the last couple of months and I’m starting to see a little bit of rewards because I’m getting chances and I think I’ve been a bit unlucky this season, hitting the crossbar and the post a few times."
