[Thunder Bolt]

He wears 5.

I'd better get new glasses.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Left half.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Dunk wears 4.

an answer “largely determined by my age”

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Not that anyone asked but I’ve always viewed it as.

GK: 1
RB: 2
CB: 5
CB: 6
LB: 3
RM: 7
CM: 4 (More Defensive)
CM: 8 (More Attacking)
LM: 11
ST: 9 (Big Man)
ST: 10 (Little Man)

This is a debate I’ve had many times. Remember having a long debate with the Dutch exchange student at college who insisted that 6 was a CM and 4 a CB so will also accept that.

This is accurate, with the sub being Duffy....Alan, not Shane

 

[pb21]

Why was/is #4 traditionally CM?

Correct.

I'm just surprised that a veritable youngster such as yourself has that perspective.

 

[jackalbion]

Correct.

Dale Stephens nearly warped it for me, but I came back

 

[withdeanwombat]

Left half.

This is the true and correct answer.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Why was/is #4 traditionally CM?

Right half.

Agree with your position and numbers the only change I would have is to strikers 8 and 9 with 10 attacking midfield

 

[Sue1983]

Central Back

 

[upthealbion1970]

 

[Rdodge30]

Left half

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I reckon how people answer is largely determined by their age.

5 and 6 are central defenders
4 is the defensive midfielder

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Dunk wears 4.

Thought it was Webster and Dunk (5)?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Thought it was Webster and Dunk (5)?

Yes, I've already been corrected.

 

[albionant]

I reckon how people answer is largely determined by their age.

Madness!

Peter Ward was a midfielder then? You learn something new every day.
