but if you can honestly make a case for the inverted winger thing, I'd sure like to hear it. The case for traditional winger:
1) A winger will put more pressure on a fullback because
whatever speed he has is being utilized more effectively.
2) Crosses will swing away from the goalie rather than towards him.
3) The large majority of strikers will find it easier to play
with a traditional winger because it's easier to time a run rather than guessing when the cutback move is coming.
4) A traditional winger will create more space between a fullback and centerback because they are invariably dragged further out to the side while trying to block a
fast wingers cross.
5) Simply silly to play football 80-90% of the time on your weaker side.
6) If wrong siding wingers is so great, why not wrong side the fullbacks too?
