LRD Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Man Utd season 12/13 - Evra 34 league apps, Rafael 28. Their options when Rafael is unavailable is either your CBs (Smalling or Jones) or Valencia as they do not have a 2nd specialist RB. Spurs, Everton play with 2 attacking FBs. They don't dominate possession. Guess you have no issue about Tiote/Anita dropping back to be an auxiliary defender then. Evra's has been a fine defender, Rafel's a good one. In a team of the season I read they had Valencia/Welbeck in the wide spots. Two very hardworking players. This only further demonstrates my point. Everton have the other example I used - have wide players so good going forward they force their opponents back. I suggested that as a possibility but as we've seen this season, that won't work. Everton dominate possession this season. Spurs do dominate possession and have the most athletic right side in the league. I don't know what youre trying to say. We play a 4-4-2. We don't have a spare man to drop in defence. If anything it demonstrates you need a hardworking team. SAF has always demanded good work ethics for the whole team and not just the wingers in isolation. I have nothing against workhorses but again you speak as if that's the only viable option. You talk of Barca and Arsenal dominating possession, I give you that. And then you mention Everton and Spurs dominating possession in the same breath. http://i.imgur.com/dSTnS3s.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/2chD4Fd.png Aye, dominating possession. We do not play a simple 4-4-2. Sissoko often drifts into the middle when Debuchy/we are attacking. That's 3 players in the middle affording protection when needed. Even in a flat 4-4-2, you could always demand a FB holding his defence when the other is attacking. Nee idea why you think hardworking wingers are the be-all-and-end-all, discounting all other alternatives without proper thought. You always loathe to concede ground in your footballing opinions no matter how good/bad they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason hard-working winger is because (surprise surprise) I want a hard working team. Hard working components = hard working team. Do you understand this? Spurs (5) and Everton (3) are in the top 5 for possession in the league. So yeah, checkmate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've nothing against hardworking wingers/team but to think that's the only solution to Debuchy being exposed on his attacks is just short-sighted. Dominating possession at the level of Barca and Arsenal at 57%? Might as well say 51% possession impresses you as much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

healthyaddiction Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Average possession for the season at 58% is very high tbf. If you look at the site where you got those values you'll see throughout the years of the premier league the highest average they have recorded is 60%.
