I believe with modern-day "over the top" analysis of the game, Fifa or championship manager games and every coach having to do the same badges we use this mythical perfection model for every player.

We spend far too much time talking about what players can't do. That is all fine and dandy in the super elite clubs, backed by states and large corporations but on planet Earth its about finding a winning team.

At the championship level, Rubin can give you something that most teams can't handle as long as he is not burdened with his primary instruction of tracking a runner, he is an offensive player and we have to build a defensive system around the other 9. It's not a free pass, he won a fair few duels yesterday but you need to accept that not his game. A mobile center forward like Robinson allows Rubin to drop into the 9 slot, playing a lummox won't.

Malky hid Whitt's weaknesses by putting 4 physical anaerobic monsters in front of him and that was the deal as long as he controlled the game, which he did until the run-in. Because at championship level Whitts was technically at a different level, if he had the physicality he would have been a top premier league player and only visited Cardiff for cup finals. The same can be said of Rubin but in a more advanced position.

Wales are not playing through the thirds, they are more concerned with getting the ball back higher up the field, its a different system and one that won't suit Rubins's lack of mobility compared to Wilson and even Rambo (whilst he is on the pitch)

Its good to see a manager not wed to a monster center-forward, and i am hoping that Issac Davies can finally show us what he is all about.
