Players on the flank


Jimenez

One of the biggest mistakes Smith made in that era was signing Mikhailitchenko, one of the classiest CMs in world football, and then sticking him in at LW.

Were you surprised?!

At the time, yes. Nowadays- I expect it....

Smith is on record as saying that he's learned in his managerial career to take less chances - and that he's now more cautious in his approach. He was referring to our days when we had magnificent players and 'went for it' in Europe by playing formations which were too attacking and ultimately under-achieving.

True wingers appear to be his self-imposed sacrifice; he is usually in favour of more workman-like 'wide midfielders' these days. I did say 'usually'.
