That's because he was a good player who could adapt and think for himself. Football isn't that complicated a game.
Really good thread this, well argued from all sides.

Good point you make about Nathan Blake. I was at Bristol Rovers that day. Ray Daniel was one of our better players back then, I feared the worst when we had to give a debut to an 18-year-old to replace him but Blake had a great game and we only lost 2-1 to a late winner, as I remember. He played left back that day but he did fill in at centre back for us, as well as sweeper and centre-midfield.

Philogene played at wing-back for us last season and he did well there I thought. It can be done, although I see where City123 is coming from here.
