One American Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Eventually, given the relative decency of the midfielders and the relative suckitude of the defenders, I think moving a midfielder to the backline would have to be considered a possibility. If so, who would be the best player to move? Off the top, I would think about moving Teibert to left back. Any thoughts on this? Any other ideas?

toontownman Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Hopefully we can stop the sucktitude of the opposite happening first. I don't really think we have depth enough to sacrifice a midfielder in defence, not sure any would do a better job than what we already have either. Teibert had played there before but, I can't believe I will write it, he wouldn't be better than DeJong. Imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC_Hali Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I would like to see Tissot and Dixon given a run of games at LB/RB. Aird is an option too at RB if he can develop his defensive positioning and awareness, although that ship may have sailed. Overall I would like to see the youth given opportunities rather than De Jong and Ledgerwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 De Jong will be 32 when the next qualifying starts. Ledgerwood will be 33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the Impact games I watched him play in at LB I wasn't particularly impressed with his overall defensive game. He's better suited as a left flank mid. In which position is he playing regularly in NASL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also feel that Aird could be best suited as a wingback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmonte Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I like the idea of moving midfielders to wingback roles much more than I like the idea of moving centerbacks to out wide roles. Just throwing that out there, but it's always a case by case basis. I felt like Edgar did fine at RB for example, because he has the ball handling ability and crossing ability to warrant the move.
