That's strange - I remember reading at the time we signed him that he had played at centre back for Olympiacos. He did look comfortable in that position during the first half yesterday. Great player and we should build the Team around him.

I'm hoping it was a case of seeing how he plays in that position just in case he's needed. In one of the articles I read about FdB when it was rumoured he was going to be appointed mentioned that part of his playing ethos is that players should have a good understanding of the other positions around theirs. This enables them to fit in due to injuries etc or rotate if someone is caught upfield etc. TBH, I think Luka could play just about any position & give a good performance.

That is correct Nobby,that's what "total football" is.

Yeah, shame the EPL don't allow you to play 'rush goalie' too.

I think punches position will be eventually taken by Rubin LC Originally posted by Mad4palace
Townsend getting up and down on that right side but Cabaye or Loftus Cheek covering on that side too, not a wing back but just the right-sided midfielder.

Without a doubt Mika should play in the middle and must be always a starter. If Loftus fullfil all his potential he's another one. Then comes the others based in the match characteristics and their fitness. It's difficult to reckon for most of us but Puncheon even being a captain it's the week link in lots of matches. Sometimes the filter to try to get rid of bias is asking if a certain player was able to play in most of the others premier league squads. Edited by Portuguese (23 Jul 2017 11.11am)

I would be happy with him being in the back 3 with Dann and Tomkins

Played there again today, apart from his mistake for Metz goal. We looked best in possession with him as part of the back 3.
