      I don’t think we’re differing here.
      In “the old days” wingers were forwards. Full-backs (including the #5) were defenders.
      You would never have expected Ray Wilson, George Cohen, Gerry Byrne, Alex Parker et al to go charging upfield.

      Absolutely gl, and the likes of Ashley Cole who could play the wing back role superbly are few and far between. I once watched Liverpool play at Coventry and as soon as Alan Hansen went into Cov,s half Jan Molby as if by telepathy slotted in at centre half. It was beautiful to watch but these were great players who had the skill nowadays we expect bang average journeymen players to play these multi roles.[/quote]
      Jean Beausejour is one of the best we’ve had at the club for a long time[/quote]

      I fully agree but remember many times on here having to defend him from those who thought he was a “fat, lazy winger”.

      I certainly do.

      And Gomez.

      And Massey last season.
