that formation we used to play at school in the 60s is pretty much how we played in offence yesterday. When defending its more 4 - 5 - 1. And we are in offence 4 x longer than we are in defence :-)
Agreed. He's not a good technical player or passer (relative to the rest of the team), and playing him in that position means he ends up out of position for his main job. He never gets beat one-on-one, but this game he's been beaten multiple times because he's always starting from a position he wouldn't normally be. There's a reason why for the past few seasons, we've mainly been playing just Cancelo or Zinchenko in that role, not both full backs.Being an inverted RB completely exposes the weaknesses in his game
