Yes, Is suppose, but the best of all is someone who can use both. At this level the player should have some sort of ability with. I don't agree with Mancini putting wingers on the wrong side either, but at the same time we need a winger who can go out wide and whip the ball in or come in and score or play a through ball, rare type of player, but again, Lamela or Isco seem like good options who can create but also contribute goals (that is a big one, adding more goals from midfield, think Fernandinho will help here but also someone in attacking midfield).dom said:NoahCity said:we shouldn't go with the wing back system or traditional english winger system. Look at teams like Bayern and BVB, the wingers can go outside or go inside. That is what we need, someone who does both, doesn't Isco do this (as well as score goals)? The traditional english winger system is what we don't want.dom said:Actually mate I agree with you , but there are complicating factors here
RM tends to play a wingback system
he doesn't really 'get' the traditional english winger system...
He seems to end up half haertedly buying into it so that we seem only ever to have one specialist winger, rather than two... (e.g. swp,then AJ, then Sinclair
Worse still he seems to always want to play them on their 'non-natrual flank' so that they will tend to cut inside rather than stretching the defence out wide and having their better foot to zap in the killer cross
Much as I love Bobby, this is one area where we don't seem to tick well and we either have to have a 2 winger option or just stick with the wing back system IMHO
Generally agree, but don't you feel that RM tending to put wingers on their 'wrong' side, for a full back that make defending easier 'cos they are more likely to cut in .. ?
As an ex winger I always found the short pass easier off my weaker foot than the long whipped in cross (not that my pub level footy can rally compare !! LOL !!) but you get my drift ..??
