I have high hopes for
Ox as a wingback but if he doesn't want to play in that role, what some interviews suggest, he becomes less valuable.
I would chose
Ox as wingback over Bellerin.
Not exact matches
And now that the
Ox looks to be leaving and if he does, would Le Prof sometimes tries Walcott
as right
wingback in a 3 -4-3 to see if it'll jell?

I disagree.A
wingback can be viewed
as a defensive winger.Whether the
Ox likes it or not he's been blessed with the qualities of a winger.To me that's his best position.He's only doing well
as a
wingback because of his attacking abilities.
As I said earlier a
wingback can be viewed
as a sort of defensive winger.That's why CB's who are used
as RB or LB can not play
wingback.
Wingback needs the player to be able to adapt himself like a winger while also being solid defensively.
Ox has the attacking part but not the defensive part.With Bellerin we have the best of both worlds.He can attack, defend and also has the speed necessary to play
wingback.I fear
Ox being played at
wingback will cost us when we play teams with tricky wingers.He should rather be challenging Sanchez or Ozil for their positions and not
wingback.The guy hates to always have to defend which in truth he can't.
4) Sign a young, but experienced
wingback as understudy to
Ox.
I've realised people are confusing fullback and
wingback assuming them to almost be the same.A
wingback can be viewed
as a more defensive winger whiles a fullback is just a player put near the sides of the centre fullback.Their roles are clearly very different and well defined.That's why you'll consider
Ox at RWB and not RB.We need to switch back to 4 -2-3-1 to get the best out of our players like Ozil,
Ox, Kolasinac, Bellerin and Monreal.They'll suffer a lot under 3 -4-3.
Lemar is not a defender... the whole point of playing a 5 man defence is to play 5 defenders... the only reason why
OX ever played
as a
wingback was because Bellerin was injured and subsequently rubbish when he returned.It makes bo sense playing 4 defenders in a 5 man defence formation.
But he keep playing
ox as winger, and lasted
as wingback.
I was never a bick fan of
Ox but
as a
wingback he is great.
If we did that - we wouldn't have Bellerin in defence (midfielder),
Ox at
Wingback, Sanchez sometime upfront, Henry
as a striker — the list goes on
so u think
ox left purely because he was being played
as a
wingback and nothing to do with the state of the club now... keep telling yourself that
Here we go again...
Ox on the left and Kolasinac
as CD and Bellerin
as wingback.
Ox has shown that
as a right
wingback, his power, speed and dribbling skills could be a big threat to any opponents.
Ozil will stay because he hasn't received any offers from bigger clubs and the
Ox will stay on
as a right
wingback.
