If you cast your mind back to when Lathrope played as a holding midfielder, he usually slotted to whichever wing the threat was coming down. Good job too as lets face it, Bodin and Stevens (or whoever was playing as wide attackers) were **** all use at tracking back and assisting the fullback...cambgull wrote: Good to see you obviously know nothing about modern football.

The wingers are still responsible for defensive duties and covering the opposing full back. The way that Buckle used them is not the right way of doing it. If you look at the likes of Arsenal, Real Madrid & Barcelona, and many others using these styles of play, you'll find the wingers track back to around the half way line or perhaps slightly shallower before passing off the defensive duties to another team mate, such as the 3 in midfield or the full backs.Sunnysideup wrote:If you cast your mind back to when Lathrope played as a holding midfielder, he usually slotted to whichever wing the threat was coming down.

Camb, wtf has it got to do with Buckle? Lathrope was used as a holding midfielder by Ling, sat behind Mansell and OKane. You know, once he decided that a 2 man midfield was inviting too much pressure on the defence ? Yes, the wide players should be aware of their defensive duties. We just havnt had one that seems capable of tracking back as he should, since Zebs and Wayne.cambgull wrote: The wingers are still responsible for defensive duties and covering the opposing full back.

I'm here for the purposes of creating debate David, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I will try harder.Southampton Gull wrote: Poor attempt at trying to blame Mr Hargreaves, David.
