[quote=Anonymous]I think when I posted about the lack of a good forward, I was answering a different question. I actually agree wholeheartedly with all the PPs that spoke about how critical outside backs are. They are huge difference makers, and the lack of a good outside back is felt on both sides of the field.

When I said forward, what I meant was that a good forward is rare on many teams. A good forward is that player that if you do give them the right ball, they will score reliably a fair amount of the time. I see a lot of teams where the forward can be given chance after chance, but fail to convert. A scoring problem is a common one.

Whereas when you add that special player who scores goals, it changes the balance. It's just a rare player that has the speed, technical ability and power and accuracy in a shot to be a goal scorer.

However, I would take a reliable defender at any position over a striker or midfielder, if forced to choose. And no position contributes more to the tone of the game than the 2 outside backs. But as someone said, it does take a stellar athlete. [/quote]
