We may have new right back......

Did anybody else watch the Germany v Ireland game yeterday?
Meyler played as right back and apparently he'd been played there the game before as well. Against the depleted world champions he certainly wasn't rampaging forward but he was very disciplined and did really very well. Never looked out of place.
Who knows we made need an emergency full back one day.

 

Third game in a row he's played there for them.

 

MON needs sacking, shoving Meyler out of position has cost Eire a point.. should of got Brucie on the blower and then picked his brains, I mean doesn't O'Neel watch the football league show?

 

How about at left back? Could Meyler play there? That goal he scored against Liverpool was with his left foot I recall. And anyway does it matter which is his better foot because Rosenior is mainly right footed and he does OK when he plays at left back.

 

**** it, let's go the whole hog and stick him in goal.

 

Elmohamady could go in goal because they used to say that out of every winger there's a goalkeeper waiting to pop out. Strange though because wingers were often five foot nothing in the past.

 

That saying is a new one to me. I wonder how that was born.

 

Wasn't McKechnie (sp) a winger before converting to a goalkeeper?

I vaguely remember him playing on the wing in a Testimonial game (his maybe) against TWS probably early 70's. We won 6-5 if memory serves me correctly but I don't think anyone was taking it very seriously!

 

In George Best's early autobiography there was a picture of him playing in goal in training when he was at Man Utd. It was captioned with a reference to a "saying" that out of every winger there was a goalkeeper inside. That might be the only time I can remember coming across such a thing.

 

The Leeds game was Chilton's testimonial.

 

I bow to your superior powers of memory........................................................ or googling ability!

 

I remember that match not because I went to it but because I couldn't go as I was ill and off school. Otherwise like yourself I might have forgotten Leeds was Chilton's game.

 

So if it was Chilton's testimonial, would it have been 70/71, as I reckon he went to Coventry in 1971 didn't he?

 

By the way I remember missing out on the Watney Cup Final against Man Utd for similar reasons!

 

Meyler did have a great game. Quinn also look gooid against the germans.

In saying that, if you are good enough you can play anywhere.

 

Yes he was actually. But better in goal eating oranges.

 

That's bollocks. Messi would be a **** centre half for a start.

 

How about on the Moon?

 

Nonsense and How do you know ? He has not played there ....... yet.

Thank you Don Robinson.

 

Because I have a bit of common sense.
