10 Players EXCELLING In A New Position!

[@EuroFootballDaily]

*Benfica of course did make the Champions League quarters last year too. This is actually the first time since the 1960s they have reached the quarters of the European Cup in successive seasons!🤯

[@tlawal7]

Unpopular opinion: Griezmann is not a Barcelona flop. He wasn't bad and was actually quite good in his second season, and did his best considering how terrible a decision signing him was.

[@shivenmayani1806]

As a Barcelona fan, he’s a flop given the fact that he cost so much damn money and had expectations to perform as well as Suarez, as in 20+ goals 20+ assists, anything other than that is disappointing. I do admit that he was set up to fail cause he plays the same areas as Messi, and needs the play to revolve around him to really shine. It never made sense to sign him, but I’m glad that it didn’t harm his career that much

[@tlawal7]

@Shiven Mayani that's why I can't consider him a flop with how well he performed while being played out of position on the left in a system that didn't suit him and Messi in the team.

[@dloruss3916]

I does not matter if he was out of position, once you are being bought for a huge amount of money you have to adapt or you are a flop. No matter how good the world knows you can be.

[@Not_Sal]

He was a flop considering he cost €120 million and after 3 seasons Barca sent him back to Atleti on loan and then sold him to them for only €20 million.

[@Not_Sal]

@Wayne Verhoff they negotiated it down from 40 to 20

[@samuraibirds917]

I think what makes Camavingo such a good player is his calmness. Madrid is known for their calmness in the heat of the moment and he's a very controlled defender.

[@themoyesiah100]

lucas paquetá at cm has been a revelation for us, his vision is something else, always runs for the team, usually has the most tackles and interceptions most games and is good at dribbling and has a decent shot though his role isn’t necessarily to score

[@nickroyle5955]

Hes always been a cm, thats where he resurrected his career at lyon, moyes was playing him out of position in the hole😂

[@SM-me3ez]

Trents attacking output hasn’t “fallen off a cliff” it’s stayed the same,he has 23 bcc in the PL alone

[@I-am-stevo]

Strikers struggling to convert his chances created.

[@zac5572]

It’s embarrassing how misinformed people are about Trent

[@imEmops]

@@zac5572 hes shitt. hes a right back he needs to learn how to defend. and he doesnt have the ball control or stamina to play midfield, sure hes a good passer. but so is someone like james ward prowse, but he isnt seen as a generational talent. plus JWP can score freekicks

[@jaygotgame1731]

Not only that but he’s not even a midfielder still. He’s an inverted RB who joins in the midfield during the attack but still has the defensive responsibilities of being a RB.

[@mythix5906]

Surprised Nathan Ake did not make the list, most times used as a central defender in his time at City when Cancelo left we had no LB and Ake put his hand up and looks as good as any natural left back, what makes it better too is just a year ago he was fighting to even remain a City player, and now he is first picked at LB keeping the likes of Salah, Saka and Coman quiet. Although i also agree with Stones, i feel like Ake deserves some Honorable mention, just for his glow up as a player.

[@ragnar5534]

Yeh and has played a lot more in that different position than the likes of trent like how can you put Trent and not him when he has undoubtedly proven himself..

[@arglc]

I would be skeptical of praising TAA this early. Opposition teams usually take a while to figure out a weakness against new set ups.

[@tzvetanmoev8190]

Missed Milan’s Brahim Diaz (from AM to RW/SS) and Inter’s Hakan Çalhanoğlu (from AM to deep lying playmaker)… Both are essential for the two Milan teams

[@Beanskiiii]

Nah this is just splitting hairs at this point

[@akunwanneprosper7016]

They are still same positions, just different role names

In fact Ben White is so good at right back that when Saliba got injured they still wanted White to stay at right back.

[@uviweboyana8936]

The only reason he wasn't shifted back to CB is because there's no cover at RB If Tomiyasu was fit ... trust me White was gonna be at CB

[@miguelpinheiro8817]

You should've included aursnes, he arrived at Benfica this summer as defensive midfielder but has already played as a box to box (when Enzo left), played as both left wing anda right wing and recently has been playing as right back since bah's Injury's

Camavinga is the new Ruud Gullit

[@Messiiiiuuuuuu10]

[@Jegemurk]

Surprised raphael guerreiro didnt make this as he's been playing as a central mid for Dortmund the past few months and playing incredibly well

[@DannyM1903]

It’s because of Your mom

[@applepeel1662]

Not really He played v well in a few games but has recently moved back to LB. I'm not sure where Guerreiro is the best tbh He's not nearly as effective as he is in defense as much as he is in attack. But He's not that good in midfield while facing teams that apply a lot of pressure and push midfielders off like Bayern It's v tricky w him. He's clearly incredibly skilled and a huge asset to BvB but we can't seem to decide where on the field He's the best We don't have a solid LB to completely replace him, Bensebaini should help with that

[@alexrochlitz7402]

It isn't a new position. He's played there for them prior to this season, they just put him back there though. He just feels too good to be at LB tbh

[@Beanskiiii]

He’s played in midfield in previous seasons nothing new

[@nif3869]

He normally plays cm that's why. He regularly plays there when there's an injury crisis

[@maxton-_-4243]

Camavinga is so underrated. Like the fact that he isn’t widely considered as a top 3 young player is crazy. He’s insane and so versatile

[@muddybaig218]

You left out Newcastle’s Joelinton, he went from being our most cristisized player to our most praised 🙌

[@mikefoxtrot8827]

Role and position, there were two things different TAA became inverted wing back or false full back, focusing to pass from deep space to front due to klopp's philosophy who prefer direct pass in his tactical, same as Zinchenko.... In modern football, player has been created to be hybrid role as like KDB has ability to recovery, creating chances, support attacking etc

Trent played centre midfield for the academy was converted to a righ back because they thought he couldn’t make it as a midfielder

[@matthiasbergmann449]

Raphael Guerreiro should have been on this list. Currently leading the Bundesliga for assists since being moved into midfield from LB and generally just playing out of his skin.
