1. Goalie
2. Right back
3. Left back
4. Center half
5. Center half
6. Midfielder
7. Right winger
8. Midfielder
9. Striker
10. Striker
11. Left winger
12. Sub

My French teacher taught us to know the order in which pronouns are used by recalling the traditional 5-3-2 plus goalkeeper line-up, thus:Going back, even earlier, to my prime years -Late 50s & 60s, the line up was even easier:

(No room for "en" in this scheme as substitutes weren't invented yet in the 1960s. Guess "en" could have been the manager.)

Used to be a 'set up' many years ago, was never counted as a stat though.Assist, load of cobblers, it’s just a pass for Pete’s sake.

Playing it in the channels.. fuck off! It’s the space between the defenders.
the money jabba has made pretending to be a manager is astonishingI suspect he was more successful at his job in football than you have been, which kind of proves the point.
Totally inept manager looked at stats to give him an edge and maximised his potential.

Not many managers would have kept Bolton in and around the top 6 for as long as he did.the money jabba has made pretending to be a manager is astonishing
He was ahead of the curve on sports science and stats.
