That's quintessential fullback numbering, anything else is simply incorrect. I was actually thinking about swapping 4 and 6, 4 to me is a CDM but I accept I'm in the minority with that one I think.

I was going to suggest the 4 and 6 swap too, but I think that's too old school now with people talking about whether a midfielder is a "6, 8 or 10" Quote

Farrelli Posted September 24 Posted September 24 Definitely need plan c for this. Pray to the Gods🧎♂️➡️🙏 Quote
Dr. Feelgood Posted September 24 Posted September 24 We have a number of people pushing for a first team starting place who'll be involved in this. Arsenal have bigger fish to fry. I expect a lot of changes from them & some, I assume talented, youngsters. It could be a lot tighter than expected. Quote

woolli Posted September 24 Posted September 24 Arteta saying on Sky they could have a 16 year old in goal! Quote
matty2094 Posted September 24 Posted September 24 Was listening to this earlier out of curiosity. I know AFTV are a bit of a joke but was interested to hear what they had to say about us and their line up. They're expecting Raya, Havertz, Jesus, Sterling, Jorginho, Calafiori and Ben White all to start purely because they're light on numbers at the minute. If we keep it down to 4 I'll be happy enough.

nantwichwhite Posted September 24 Posted September 24 Have a feeling that if Sheehan plays tonight, he will do well. Quote
bolton va va Posted September 24 Posted September 24 I'm still scarred from the game at West Ham a few years back where they outclassed us, not only more skilful but also physically bigger, stronger & faster than us. The gulf was massive & i'm not sure that's changed, even an Arsenal 2nd team might paste us. Tricky selection, don't want a humiliation but equally don't want injuries before the more important Crawley game. I'd settle for no injuries, a nice boost to the finances & a closish game......any more would be a bonus. Quote

I always associate logical numbering with the 2-3-5 formation that was prevalent for decades into 60s, and the 4-4-2 that evolved into the 70s was the point at which logic disappeared. 1: goalkeeper 2. right back 3. left back 4. right half 5. centre half 6. left half 7. right outside forward 8. right inside forward 9. centre forward 10. left inside forward 11. left outside forward Evolving to … 1. Goalkeeper 2. right back 3. left back 4. right centre back 5. left centre back 6. right centre midfield 7. right wing 8. left centre midfield 9. right centre forward 10. left centre forward 11. left wing As seen, logic disappears at this time. Logic would number the four in midfield as 6-9, and the two forwards as 10-11. Quote
