Concerned that two number 6s are needed? Does that mean another mumber is NOT needed?
Boyer mostly wore no 9, but he did wear 10 for a while when he first joined.Which players wore 9 alongside Ted ?..I think Boyer was 10..

I think we should have three 6's. I mean a shirt number 666 in midfield would be pure evil for the opposition..................................Concerned that two number 6s are needed? Does that mean another mumber is NOT needed?
Most things areBefore my time.
It’s an age thing! But I’m with you. I always remember arguing with my dad that a 4 was a defensive midfielder but to him it was the centre half with a left and right half either side and of course the two full backs being called that because they were the two hard men furthest back! Not the overlapping primadonnas with perms that scored goals that they became….I’m going to complicate matters here but on the whole shirt number to describe a position thing. What is widely referred to as a “number 6” personally for me would be a number 4 as a number 6 was always a centre back.

Is a false, false 9, still a 9 or a ninety nine ( like a 9, just a bit flaky at times ) : )
I wouldn’t to him.No way to talk about Tommy Heffernan
maybe the plans are to play 41 games in 48 hrs to beat another lockdownI think another 41 games will determine our season!
So if he was asked to do it, remembering we are in Championship, so he should be playing within himself, IF we had a manager who wanted that, wouldn't Jeff be the right candidate, rather than scouring the planet for someone else. And doh!,think his shirt is No 8 too.Personally for me a number 8 is a box to box central midfielder. A player that has a licence to get forward but isn’t devolved of all responsibility defensively.
They need to be able to pick the ball up from the back four and drive it forward either with the ball at their feet or dictating the pace of the game by keeping the ball moving quickly.
They also need to track back and basically run themselves into the ground every game.
For England it’s a Lampard or a Gerrard, which was why they couldn’t partner together in a midfield two as one needed to be a 6 whilst the other was an 8…
In a midfield three you have the opportunity to play two 6’s and an 8, or even a 10 and no 8…or you can play one 6 and two 8’s or a 10, if your wingers are expected to be offering support to their full backs defensively rather than just wide forwards…

Personally I would like two passing midfielders in front of the back four, and the player with complete licence in behind Dom, half second striker half midfielder. Totally disrupt the press by always being available for the mid range through ball and able to bring in wingers and strikers, and midfield runners. But I don't think we have one and it's irrelevant because I can't see Parker going down that route.
