What playing position is your best?

Typical Americans, not understanding how the game is played

Don't knock it till you try

I am quite a lazy cunt so I play in the centre, usually as a CF or CAM so I don't have to track back much. My best attributes are ball control and shooting/finishing, I have got a beasty right foot and I can finish pretty much everyone one-on-one I get.

I'm kind of different when playing in that position. I'm not good at tracking back, but my best attribute in that position is my setup, which can sometimes be half decent. My ball control is poor unless I have a lot of time and space, while my finishing is poor full stop.

My problem is that I'm inconsistent though, so I'll often play in that position and play beyond awful, like I do in the rest of them.

Fuck it I lied. I am 6"6 and play exactly the same as Mertesacker. I used to play for the Castilla before moving to Arsenal because Real Madrid didn't like the fact I broke Jese Rodriguez in two with my tackling. I even stopped Messi in my old days. My height restricted me.

I couldn't believe it when Arsene told me I was to tall to be a CB for Arsenal. Now he signs Mertesacker who is my height, it made me die inside. I just can't believe it.

I play RB because I am Gary Neville.


Jk, but I really play RB.

What sort of RB are you? Are you one that is always bombing down the wing and linking up with the winger, or do you tend to sit back a bit more and do a defensive job?

I go forward when I can but I wouldnt say bombing down the wing. Just like overlap and get a cross in or give the winger an option to lay it off to

Red Carded !

i feel we've been over this a few times.

Whenever I play at full-back, I tend to stick back and sometimes do a man marking job on the winger, especially if he's decent. I do lack a lot in ability, but I have a decent footballing brain, which does help. Man marking doesn't require too much skill, but more patience and concentration.

It does help if the other full-back has more of a tendency to bomb forward: almost playing in the role of a winger. That way, the two full-backs can compliment each other quite well.

I just love coming up against a flashy cunt with yellow or red boots and smashing him after 5minutes

Admittedly, I never really been one to go in for the tackle, especially if it involves going to ground. I'm going to challenge myself to get a bit more stuck in and be more brave when playing. I know the getting stuck in attitude isn't the proper one to have, but I know I'm rubbish ability wise, so I might as well try that out more often.

James will be pissed when he reads this exchange.

Goalie, but i'm shit anywhere tbbh.

Which exchange? The one I'm currently involved in?

Half of my team will end up in the Southend squad in 3/4 years time as Southend are in a really bad way money wise and will rely on there youth too much, I cant see myself making it as I don't mentally and physically have it in me.

Good luck to you anyway. My advice would be to keep on trying and not giving up. Maybe you aren't incredibly strong or physical, but I'm sure plenty said to Messi that he would be hampered by that. At the end of the day, skill is more important than physicality.

What position do you play in again? If you mentioned it on the previous page, then I've forgotten.

Right Back (not in the changing room before that joke pops up)

For my height (5'7") im good at heading, great stamina levels and really good at tackling (mainly slide over standing).

Crap at shooting, first touch is average and not very skillful to be honest

Behind the striker(s)

My favourite position is just behind the strikers, but most teams just play 4-4-2 so I get stuck out on the wing.

I get put striker and Im 6ft, but most players I play against are 5ft 7 and I just flatten them although Im quite weak.

I'm not terribly good but I can play anywhere wide. Left back is probably the best. I enjoy playing as the goalkeeper though I'm pretty short and shit at it.

CM, I was pushed over to RM last year but I've been trying to hard in training and got another go at CM for the trip to Ireland and played every minute, had a friendly tonight and he played me there again, whole game. Looks positive at least.

Play RB, CB or CDM. Was never going to go pro but I could have played college had I continued playing club soccer probably. Too much money though, just play high school now. Been thinking about trying to walk on to a team just for fun but well see.

Phil Jones-esque

Benchwarmer/waterboy. My coach has tried converting me to towelboy it it hasn't stuck.

Ga-tor-ade, Ga-tor-ade, Ga-tor-ade

H2O!!!

Water sucks, it really really sucks!

I like being a right mid because I get to move alot, cross, etc. Its fun to me. I am pretty decent at shooting even though my shots not that hard i usually surprise people with my aim and shit. I'm decent at passing and dribbling but I don't try to do too much really.

OH MY GOD.

CAM/CM/LAM. Best attributes are vision, link up plays, and short passing. I don't care what James says I know I'm a good player
