i just want some feed back from people about the roll of a winger Left or Right.

i have played there for about 3 years now and i keep getting different people telling me that i should be dropping right back to cover the winger on the other side???? shouldnt the defender on my side cover that winger when he drops down. so i am not covering the whole pitch.

you're all over-analyzing it.

Actually we aren't looking at it from the players perspective. A player onyl has to understand how they need to play. A coach needs to understand how each player interacts within the team's structure. I take it you are of the opinion the coach should just give each player a position on the field and say: "Go for it lads! Play hard, play fair and play to win!" and then sit on the sidelines yelling out generic encouragement?


No thats not how i see it, maybe for some. I see it as you do exactly what the manager tells you to do... why he is asking a public forum how he should be playing as a winger bemuses me. Ask your manager, they all expect different things.

In saying that, top managers give top players simple instructions and let their football intuition follow suit.


Very true, he may be asking here because his manager has the same ability to convey instructions as a turnip though ;)
