So you're saying a winger should; attack, defend against his full back as well as abandon the wing to help out an inept CM, thus letting his full back run free?
Righto.
And what would me playing football have to do with the basic rules of being a winger?
Yes, a winger has to be prepared to do that, especially in games when the opposition play with three centre midfielders against our two.
It's not a question of letting his fullback run free - he won't do that if there is good sideways movement in the midfield four hwen the opposition are in possession.
Having played football would have given you a better idea of the game. I have always said that to fully understand and appreciate the details of the game, you will have to have played to a certain level, i.e. not park football or school football.
Which I suspect you have not...?
