[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“In England, in a now traditional 4–4–2 formation, the standard numbering is usually: 2 (right fullback), 5, 6, 3 (left fullback); 4 (defensive midfielder), 7 (right midfielder), 8 (central/attacking midfielder), 11 (left midfielder); 10 (second/support striker), 9 (striker). This came about based on the traditional 2–3–5 system. Where the 2 fullbacks retained the numbers 2, 3. Then of the halves, 4 was kept as the central defensive midfielder, while 5 and 6 were moved backward to be in the central of defence. 7 and 11 stayed as the wide attacking players, whilst 8 dropped back a little from inside forward to a (sometimes attacking) midfield role, and 10 stayed as a second striker in support of a number 9. The 4 is generally the holding midfielder, as through the formation evolution it was often used for the sweeper or libero position. This position defended behind the central defenders, but attacked in front – feeding the midfield. It is generally not used today, and developed into the holding midfielder role.“

The 4 has been the holding mid in England for 50+ years. Either way my intention wasn’t to argue about numbers. My larger point was that Ertz could play as the 5/6 (LCB) next to Dahlkemper, which would allow for cleaner playing out the back and a midfield of Horan, Mewis and Lavelle.[/quote]

No, your point is clearly to come off as an arrogant know it all, and you have unquestionably hit the mark. [/quote]
