Just wondering if you could spare a couple of minutes to help me out?

basically I want to know the positions you associate with each shirt number in football, in a typical 442 system.
eg 1 = GK, 2 = RB

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11

Thanks

Aha, except I'd have #4 at CB and #6 in the midfield...

Nah... No.4 is for a midfield enforcer.

this is exactly what is found. I took 6 as a centre half and 4 as a defensive midfielder as gospel, but I got picked up on it. this is the only discrepancy I have come across and when I get a few more responses I'll try and explain why.

I'm sure Gudni Bergsson would disagree with you. As would Matt Mills.

4 is definitely a midfielder.
Think 4. Greaves, 5. Jones, 6. Allardyce.
Or, more recently, 4. McAteer, 5. Seagraves, 6. Stubbs.

Although 4 has also, in my memory, been a left-sided midfielder, too. Robbie Savage and Paul Comstive.

But 5 and 6 are your central defenders. In a 442. In a 236, 4 would be you right-half, 5 your centre-half and 6 your left-half.

They're squad numbers. That changed everything.

Otherwise, you'll be arguing that 22 is a traditional goalkeeper's number.

I bet OC is drooling uncontrollably at that stunning shapely 4-4-2.

I suspect 236 is illegal, but if you mean 235 you are correct. Those were the days, eh Tango?

236 involves playing a fly-goalie. This may or may not be legal, and hence may actually involve no goalie at all. This would definitely be legal, but possibly not wise.

Otherwise, maybe I do mean 235...

Pah. Damn those who can count.

We played 2-3-5 when I was a boy too :oops:

Jimmy Phillips played Inside Left.

That was where Puskas played!

Jimmy Phillips. The Lancastrian Puskas. Marvellous.

Though there is some logic in their suggestion, which is quite absent in the actual case.
