This recent word of "Number 10" seems all the craze at the moment, false nine, central winger, withdrawn forward, playmaker, trequarista etc
Perhaps we should do what we usually have done when we have a creative and individual talent-play them on the wing! (David Beckham, Joe Cole)
failing that we lump them in a 4-4-2 where they cant display their skills as they have too many defensive duties (Glenn Hoddle, Trevor Brooking, Frank Lampard, Paul Gascoigne)
Then the genuinely wasted Matt le Tissier, Tony Currie, Stan Bowles etc
The legendary Jack Rodwell is currently on trial at Watford which is superb over-achievement given how his career nose dived
I dont think creativity is the problem, and I see some superb young players coming through my only reservation is their route to getting game time, the biggest problem for so long is we have been stuck in the same way of playing football. It`s only now we are finally catching up to playing different formations and playing a player in a specialist role, dont worry we aren't the only country either, tactics and systems are changing constantly it`s now this time were up-to speed or at least getting there.
The blessing is if Hoddle or Le Tissier were about today we would play them in a playmaker role, we could play Ferdinand as a sweeper correctly, its certainly a long way from pass to teh winger and wait for a cross
