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.
He could be better than Chamberlain, if he is given the chance to play in a right wing position (
as a right winger,
wingback or
fullback).
Our 3 back is just so wrong.We don't have natural
wingbacks even in this formation.It also seems to me that lots of people here believe if you're good at right or left
fullback then automatically you're good at RWB / LWB which quite frankly is untrue.That's why Oxlade Chamberlain can be considered at RWB but not right back.At RWB or LWB you're asking too much in terms of attack from Bellerin and Kolasinac.A proper wing back can be viewed
as a more defensive winger which quite frankly none of them are and they don't possess the flexibility too to play that way.Our midfielders are also not disciplined enough because in 3 back there's a huge gap in the centre of the field that must be covered by our CM's so indiscipline only means disaster.We also have Ozil who looks like he's playing at RW in 3 back.In that we're limiting his impact because Ozil takes on his man because he wants to not because he likes to.You can't play such players at the wing.He's a proper No. 10 who likes to be given freedom.That's why Ozil plays likes he's lazy on the ball and stuff.It's because he wants to be free and for that you need to put him at No. 10.
Both LVG and Mourinho have used him
as fullback /
wingback and he has excelled there.
If Wenger keeps using him
as a left
wingback or
fullback, he had better learn how to cross better with his left leg and be smarter when reaching the byline.
He is a great
fullback but not quite
as good
as wingback.
If a natural right footer like Maitland - Niles can play like that
as a left
fullback or
wingback, can you imagine how good he would be
as a right
fullback or
wingback?
To cover the lack of width on the left, through the movement of James Rodriguez, David Alaba begin to play more
as a
wingback than a
fullback.
