Wingers

[Steve the Tea]

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.

That's my point Dembe. These players who play out wide these days rarely have the skills of a winger. They are not wingers. Again, I haven't said, disparagingly, that, 'some winger from the 60's,' etc. I've mentioned two above ability wingers at Tier 2 level purposely.

Give me Willie Anderson or Dave Bennett over Josh Bowler any day.
