Steve McManaman

Ipswich fan in peace.

Having a debate / argument over on our forum and someone suggested putting it to the poll over here. Maybe you can help.

 

Any day any time Steve McManaman's position is a winger.

 

You may have guessed from the like, I am the fan Yorkie is having a bit of a debate with.

1 vote for free role, Yorkie, was that you!? I can cast a vote also Lets make it 100% legit!

 

Try not to bias the outcome... by the way, as soon as it's ahead the other way the poll is closing.

 

He played both but was better when given freedom. Its why he was **** for England; too rigid.

 

It was me

 

I have not voted.

 

The poll was setup up without the option of seeing who voted and how. Can't change it afterwards despite it giving the options to change it

 

Nevermind... we can trust not to play dirty and one vote isn't going to settle it either way.

 

We often played three at the back in a 352 system back then allowing Macca a free role behind Fowler and Collymore/Rush.

Majority of Fowler's goals were assisted by Macca

 

This is exactly how I remember it.

 

You don't know some of the posters we get

 

Wingbacks were Bjornabye & McAteer mainly

 

Phil Babb was a fantasy football goldmine.

 

well since the question which role he was best known for i'm going winger however it was just a description as he always had a fair degree of freedom to roam.

 

And he could a ball half the length of the pitch!

 

he wasn't a winger after about 94 or 95.

now.... at real he would have been considered differently.

IMO free role.

 

Fowler & McManaman destroy Aston Villa in opening 7 minutes!

 

Not many people had Sky in those days so he may as well have been playing on Mars as in Spain.

My recollection was of Liverpool and England, McManaman terrorising centre backs with his runs and dribbling into the box from either side.

 

McManaman was a winger until Roy Evans took over '94 and gave him the freedom to roam which paid dividends. Him and Fowler had a great partnership on the pitch. So in terms of the poll, it's a tick in both boxes which it won't allow
