Jovan Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Lately maybe last year or so the wingback role has comeback into vouge. But to play wingback is a specialist role it's not just making a traditional fullback attack more or a winger to defend it takes time to develop the skill but more so the awareness. Even Guardiola had to bring in specialists after trying to convert proved difficult. FWIW I'm not anti wingback infact 352 is my favourite formation going back to Argentina in 86. So playing Brandan and Fitzy as wingbacks is fundamentally flawed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon it's the best football I have seen, they did have a phenomenal squad though. 44 minutes ago, haz said: Just showing off our strongest squad, probably doesn't mean it would play as our strongest. Our strongest squad has to work as a team, at least have 2 DM to cover the fullbacks and circulate the ball in possession. Don't mean to come across as a dick.

silva10 Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Well this will be a very good signing. He has lost his way in the last 18 months.
