He's right in that central is their natural position

and I don't think I'd even consider putting Leitner on the right.

But both Emi and Todd are only nominally playing on the right, and Emi in particular floats all over the place.

Given Vrancic has been a success when he replaced Stiepi at number 10, I'd have no issue playing him in a floating right sided role. Especially at home against a side without any real pace like Sheff W.
