Salvo Montalbano Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 The Dutch seem to think of number 3 as a centre-back and the left back as a number 5 for some reason.1 was a goalkeeper when numbers first came in, then 2 and 3 were the full backs (the only defenders in the original 2-3-5 formation) then the half backs wore 4, 5 and 6 going from left to right, then the five forwards wore 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 (outside right - modern day right winger - then inside right, centre forward (still no. 9), inside left and then outside left). Depending on which half back stayed up and which two dropped back when 4 at the back became popular gave rise to some centre backs wearing 4 and 5 (tended to be the case in Scotland I think) and 6 being a midfielder or vice versa. Same goes for the second striker (where Ian Wright wore no. 8 and the Arsenal no. 10 would play in midfield). In the Netherlands, where the game developed after numbered shirts they traditionally line up 2-3-4-5 across the back with the left back wearing no. 5 (which caused a problem at OldCo Rangers when they signed Colin Hendry while Artur Newman already had the no. 5 shirt) and then often 6-7-8-9 across the midfield (Cruyff often wore 9 for Ajax playing as a midfielder who would drift wherever he wanted before famously wearing no. 14 at the World Cup). For me, I think 4 being a deep midfielder is more "modern" when 4 being a centre half is more "traditional".

Hampden Diehard Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Women who shout on people rather than walking over and speaking to them.Stop barking orders out like a fish wife.People sitting in random seats on the bus and doing this rather than sit next to them.

eez-eh Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I know I’m a bit late to the party here, but I always thought 4 and 5 for centre-backs was more a Scottish thing whereas the English tend to use 5 and 6 - with 4 for the DM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often a centre half wearing 4 would be right side of the two, while one wearing 6 would be left side of the pairing, reflecting their previous roles as right half and left half. Inverting the Pyramid by Jonathan Wilson is brilliant on all this stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
