Doesn't ozil play wide a lot any way? Most teams players are interchangeable. Would make more sense doing the midfield 5 that most teams have now ie
Kante Matic hazard fabregas Willian

Carrick for UTD... surely?

First eleven;

City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd, Spurs

I'm that order.

Although I'd consider wide players a part of the midfield too. Although I know it's popular to call the midfield the central players these days.

I consider wingers in a 4-5-1, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 to be forwards.

But it depends a bit on the player.

Ozil & Silva sometimes play out wide, but they play the role more creatively and don't really play like forwards. Iniesta used to play on the wing loads for Spain, but never played like a proper forward.

Yeah I get at but even when wide is confuse the likes of De Bruyne, Ozil, Silva, Mata etc a part of the midfield.

They're mostly doing work both ends of the pitch and a lot of their influence is in the middle third. I don't see calling an AM a midfielder any different to calling a DM one.

So is Ramsey world class again ?

posted on 21/7/16

I think United and City currently have the weakest midfields...

Spurs also have Bentaleb

Arsenal's is obviously the weakest. Most of them are made of glass.

When they're all fit they play some lovely football though. Until you kick them, then they cry like girls.
