he should stay exactly where he is... a defensive midfielder that advances forward depending on where his fellow midfielders are...
YES I think Whitely and Birchall should go up... Birchall has a good shot and he doesnt hestitate when in a good position to use it i'de say you should get him as close to goal as possible and Whitely is fast and has a decent shot too... and Carlos Edwards... well his attacking ability is pretty obvious... he is very good at running at an oppositions defence so he most of all should be looking to attack seeing as how penetrating he can be...
SO YES.
I would very much look for them to be attacking.
Yorke has exchanged the qualities of Youth and Drive for Wisedom more Experience...
So I think him holding the ball more, creating forward plays from a deeper position and looking to choke out oncoming attacks at this point in his career is natural.
And Carlos Edwards... well his attacking ability is pretty obvious...
CHECK THE FINAL 24 MINUTES IN THE pARAGUAY GAME AND SEE HOW MUCH FREEDOM yOKE HAD TO COME UP WHEN LATAPY WAS ON THE FIELD.
I believe it all depends on who you have in the team. we dont have anyone who can hold the ball up in midfeld like latapy, Curtis Murrell, Hutson charles, david Nakhid and the young hardest. ( I saw him in Trinidad recently ...only saw a shadow of what he once was ...a real shame ..overweight with little invention )
Obviously you use your players to best suit your team...eg, rougiier played defence for T&T but foward for port vale etc...a winger to booth !
look at kenwyn jones ....went to Southampton as a defender and ended up scoring goals as a foward on
loan.
I think I would bow to the coach seeing the other players and making a decision based on the quality of players available.
