Guest Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) ACL is a hangover from the pre-1990s. It used to be the death knell, but surgery and recovery is top now.

The College Dropout Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 11 hours ago, gbandit said: Perhaps this is a question for daft questions but why are England so good at producing quality RBs? My theory is that we are bad at producing or trusting young CMs so if they’re mobile they get moved to fullback. Trippier, Reece James and TAA I think played a fair amount of football in academy’s at CM and James definitely played CM for Wigan (and occasionally Chelsea). Like Rico Lewis often plays CM for junior England sides. Same reason we produce a lot of AMs and wide players. Half of those would be CMs (Mount, the lad at Wolves, even Foden) if they were brought up in Spain. I look at the England core central midfielders Rice, Phillips, Henderson, Bellingham. None of them came through elite academy’s. Chelsea would have stuck Rice at CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think we produce a lot of wingers that can excel at youth ages in academies but when they get a bit further up the ladder that same dynamism isn't there. Aaron Wan-Bissaka is a good example of that. Sold for £50m as a supposed 'elite potential fullback' when in reality he was a failed winger that adapted. I know Wenger dropped Cole and Clichy into fullback from further up. It's players that perhaps can kick and rush past lesser developed opponents but that advantage eventually disappears. The benefit to that is - as a former winger - you understand what the opponent is trying to do as they approach you. That might even explain why Trent is less adept at the defensive side because he doesn't have that experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
