Gallowgate Toon Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 6 minutes ago, 80 said: In all fairness, we'd see what it contributes to our attack if Burn stopped doing it. Despite all his massive limitations, we have scored many goals as a result of him pulling defenders out of position on the wing. The issue is if/the obvious fact that Livramento could do it better. And recover faster too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably he'd work better with Almiron on the left too, restoring our ability to cut in from the wing that we otherwise lose with Miggy playing there.

Ake is a pacey, mobile, creative fullback when he plays at fullback. John Stones is a pacey, mobile, creative fullback when he plays at fullback. There's a reason their managers are able to play them at fullback. Shall I give you a clue? It’s because they are pacey, mobile and creative. Plus, they offer defensive solidity at the same time. It’s about the player playing in the position, not what he’s positionally labelled as on Football Manager. fancy a shot at the title Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 You can afford to carry slower full backs if your midfield protect them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 We shouldn't have to carry anyone, to be fair. Livramento offers so much more to the position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 5 hours ago, Andy said: In fairness, City and Arsenal have the luxury of having top class players in almost every other position to make up for that. The players they had at fullback are also faster than Burn. Burn has been badly exposed because of the lack of protection from midfield this season; last season he had Willock and Joelinton doubling up to help him. Miley (understandably) and Longstaff don't do it as effectively, so if Gordon isn't back helping out he's in trouble. We have a fullback sat on the bench who so far has shown he doesn't need the same level of protection. Ogbene was anonymous when Tino came on today. Did he not have a great chance of scoring where he left Tino at the back post only to have Dubravka save it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
