Wingers

[Dembe]

These modern defenders wouldn't have a clue against a team with Willie Anderson on the left and Dave Bennett on the right with Alan Warboys in the middle. It bores me rigid seeing these, 'inverted wingers,' never beating a man and a centre forward waiting for a bus that never comes. The whole point in attacking so that defenders are turned. Now it rarely ever happens. Progress? Methinks not.

Wingers have had to evolve, as JR said teams work harder now on things such as defensive shape, so players are having to evolve to counter the tactics deployed against them. I am not entirely convinced that some winger from the 60s would just dance and skip around them, they were able to do this in their day because they had 1 fullback to beat and tactics weren't as evolved as in the modern day, they made the best of the way the game was played.
