August 19Aug 19 5 hours ago, Johnnyrotten said:I'm not adding to the McAtee debate any more, and I agree with what you say, but I'm puzzled by the question over his best position? He came as a striker/no.10 same as Collins, Kenny etc. He's played there for as long as I've seen him ( Barnsley and here) hasn't he? Scores and creates consistent with a striker/no.10 rather than a CF like Dalby. But his natural position is striker not like other so-called no.10s like Randall etc who's a midfielder.McAtee is a support striker all day long. Not sure what people are seeing but there's no ambiguity there.At Barnsley he played on the right of their front 3 mainly because they played a rigid 433 and in his first season here when Evatt had lost his mind he also played on the right of our front 3 in a 343. However for both teams he would drift infield and support the main central striker, and ever since Evatt went the only position he has played is either the one behind the striker on a 4231 or a few times SS has put him fully up top in a 352.
