When and why did this position become so deficient?

when and why did this position become so deficient?

The mentality of the countries that supply the most players to the world. There's a tendency to rate left-footed players to answer right-footed threats since the youngest of youth leagues that leads to not many right-footed players being actually developed. This and small-minded mentality of not having average-height players leads to many talented prospects leaving football early and a lack of right backs, right midfielders and center backs who are right-footed.

because cafu retired

But the vast majority of cb's is right footed. In fact, there aren't many teams with more than two lefties in the starting 11.

nobody can compare to lahm so nobody bothers anymore. RB is literally a solved position.

Because if you're any good you get moved to midfield or centre back

actually it's scary
none of the big clubs have a good rightback.

When Clyne got injured.

If you're a excellent rightback, you become a winger, if you're a bad rightback, you become a centerback.

Now, if you're a manlet centerback, you become a rightback (unless you're lefty).

>to be an excellent rightback you have to be good at attacking

because there's no such thing as a classic winger anymore, and they also have to be able to defend while playing so far forward.

modern wingbacks is one of the most demanding positions, though.

I guess the most expensive player will be wingback in a decade

name top clubs who use wingbacks

Barcelona?

Every club uses wingbacks. Just not in a 3 atb. That's why it's such a difficult role to fill nowadays. Fullbacks are hardly a thing.

Man City, Barcelona, Tottenham, Man Utd, Liverpool?

what I see is that most modern wingbacks lack defensive duty
they're often very attacking minded players

One goes forward whilst the other stays back. That means when you're attacking you're essentially playing 3 at the back, then this switches to 4 at the back when defending, and hopefully switch duties next attack to keep stamina.
>Yea Forums in charge of understanding any sport in the slightest.

>good defender
Move him to centre
>really fast
Winger
>key passing
Misfield
>hard worker
Subbed out

Before I got injured when I was 16

Yes

its a position where you need to be good at (almost) everything
if you are good at almost everything, then the team would benefit more from you being a midfielder

Eventually the RB/LB position will die and all the pacy negros will be used as wingbacks (once the hype around them fades away)

3511 is the formation of the future.

who is the best rb atm lads?

mbabu

does he still play in Switzerland?

will be playing in wolfsburg as of next season

Ricardo Pereira

The fault of all deficiencies in football is the academy culture, especially in England.
Pacy nigs and an obsession with being biased towards offensively minded means defensive minded dual role players are never given the time to develop properly.
In the long run it’s better to take someone with inherent defensive instincts and mould them into a more attacking player than the other way around. Defending is a harder skill to “learn” than attacking. You can coach someone to be a great attacking player (look at what Pep has done with Sterling) but you can’t coach someone to be a great Defender, it’s highly intuitive and less rewarding.

Yet academy’s don’t take the time because they want instant results so they take the pacy aggressive kids and stick them there and hope they’ll become better defenders as time goes by
>Spoiler, they don’t
This leads to a need to have a superstar CDM to cover for your defensively culpable Right/Leftbacks, which weakens the midfield unit.

RB was always the weakest position

Now you remember Micah Richards

Carva (though he is made of glass - hence why he's forgotten)

>hard worker
>subbed out

not in england

>put in quite a shift la'

The james milner role

work horse ethics.

When this happens, Argentina will have fullbacks and play a back four and win 2 or 3 world cups

>FULL BACK
>they actually go forward quite a bit
