Nope, that's why JWP can be just as attack minded. Just his role and position in the team means he has to keep that in check a bit more. Our full backs are given the licence to bomb forward(Running) whilst the midfielders fill the gaps.
I think Clyne is better going forward than Chambers and a more exciting footballer at present. Chambers is a great athlete, but I don't believe he offers quite the same threat just yet.
Clyne.
Cork.

Cork.
Agreed,but Shaw still shades the lb spot, but would be dispensable if Clyne had a better left foot.
For me Clyne is better at the moment but I'm more than happy with Chambers, if we can keep them both happy, they should push and spur each player on to become even better.
They remind me of when we had Kenna and Dodd, 2 quality right backs who you would be more than happy with when you saw there name on the team sheet.

I think you have to say that, on the whole, Cork has been better than Wanyama this season, but you do have to take into account that Wanyama is new to the team and it's his first season in the PL. Wanyama does, however, offer us a lot of defensive cover and strength which nobody else offers to the same extent. It's between Schneiderlin, Cork and Davis for the two remaining spots.
Mauricio has shown little inclination to play people out of position...hence his use of Fox when Shaw was injured rather than juggle players around. For him, it is Jack or Vic...he won't play Jack in another position (unless forced to by a catalogue of injuries).
Push Clyne forward into a RW postion and Callum at RB. Best of both worlds.
Only joking before everyone gets on their high horse and shoots me down.
What a fu##ing stupid idea, are you fu##ing crazy. Actually thinking about it that's not a bad shout? Or maybe move Calum forward as I think he's played midfield before?
Many clubs keep two viable players in each position. It keeps the competition for places up, ensures back-up for suspension and injury, and allows the manager to rotate the squad to prevent players from becoming fatigued. In Nat and Calum, we have the right back position neatly tied up.
We have a few youngsters that can be back up to Lallana and Rodriguez already. Keep Chambers as rb unless it is in a emergency.
That's not as mad as it might read, Saint_Norm. OK, it's a little off the wall, but I remember Jamie Carragher saying [smiling slightly because Gary Neville was next to him] that a Full Back is either a failed Centre Back or a failed Winger/Sided Midfielder. I think there's a lot of truth in that. Clyne could have been groomed as a RB at Palace because they had better wingers. He isn't tall enough to be a top CB. Chambers plays in midfield for the England U19s. He's a midfielder who can play extremely well at RB.
Off the top of my head, all the modern Saints FBs I can think of, who emerged out of the Academy, have a history of playing further upfield. I'm thinking of Bridge, Bale, Shaw, Chambers.
Good point, even before the days of the academy we always encouraged raiding FB's, the likes of Stevie Mills [R.I.P], Ivan Golac, Jeff Kenna and Jason Dodd etc.
Clyne in my opinion has the natural ability to push forward, can put in a decent cross and not afraid to run at defenders. With Chambers ar RB, they could produce some good link up play on that right and Clyne would naturally drop back (having that defensive brain) when Chambers went forward.
I know it doesn't give us much cover at RB but it is something I could see working.

It's not about not having back up, it's about who would he replace? I can't see Clyne replacing Rodriguez or Lallana.
Indeed.
I don't think anyone votes for either player easily. They are very close indeed in their positive attributes. One could even pick one player over the other depending upon which opposition was facing Saints. The RB position is an embarrassment of riches, at the moment.
