What kind of Forward are you? Are you strong? Fast? If you`re Strong like Drogba the use your upper body strength to push the defender off the ball, Use your strength to get on the end of balls for headers.

If you are fast then good movement around the pitch pulling the defenders around, sitting on their shoulder waiting for your midfield to play a good through ball you can get on the end of.

Position is always key, make sure you are available for the pass always.
