Is anyone else really autistic about football squad numbers?

Is anyone else really autistic about football squad numbers?

For example, pic related. Why the fuck is a full back wearing the number of a forward, when that number should have gone to Silva or De Bruyne?

You now remember William Gallas

Really

Aguero wears 10 as a striker and you're upset about Kolarov from city

I also suffer from number autism. De Guzman wears No. 1. Disgusting

i lose my shit if i see someone over number 19 starting every week. its ok for the first season but after that its unacceptable

who is gonna go out and buy a kit with a 32 on the back instead of a 7 or 9

Americans

Number 10 is interchangable amongst forwards. It can be worn by strikers, wingers or attacking midfielders.

Back in the days of 4-4-2, before the "number 10 role" was a thing, it would usually be worn by strikers.

My centre midfielder wore number 3. (he did occasionally play fullback
Another centre midfielder wore 7
And winger wore 8

JUST

>buying a "kit"
>buying a shirt with a number on it over the age of 14

>Number 1: Goalkeepers

>Numbers 2 and 3: Full backs (usually 2 as right back and 3 as left back)

>Numbers 4 and 6: Centre backs or defensive midfielders

>Number 5: Centre back

>Numbers 7, 10 and 11: Attacking midfielders, wingers or strikers

>Number 9: Strikers

How it should be. Anyone who assigns any of these numbers to a player not in that role is a pleb.

Oh, I forgot:

>Number 8: Central midfielder

I get mad when I see Dani Alves wearing the number 6, that fucking clown.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Switch 4 and 6.

>number 8 doesn't exist in the UK

8 is universally the pivot, it's not something that needs to be debated

...

>who is Özil

no

>Ozil
>Winger

idiots

>>>/trb/

just switch 2 and 3 and you're good

...

Wing is where does the least damage to his own team.

you mean Hazard surely

or Carrasco

switch 4 and 6 and we're good

Yes & no.
Oldfag here - the Holland 1974 squad were the first (I believe) to use squad numbers so it's not new.
Do i want to see a keeper wear anything but 1 - never.

...

>player wears a number over 39

7 should be on the right and 11 should be on the left.

>wears no.9
>is a winger

REEEEEEEEEEEEE

wat

It bothers me sometimes. Like that one Inter striker who wore a number 3 shirt.

Enjoying Sheffield Wednesday's squad numbers this year.

>number 2 is their number two goalkeeper
>3 is a central midfielder
>5 is a central midfielder
>6 is a striker
>9 is a left winger/left back

Big fan also of some of the numbers in Serie A, like lads popping up with an 87 or a 77.

Mohamed Kallon?

Went off to form his own team in Sierra Leone if I remember rightly, FC Kallon.

I always found it odd why those Lazio lads always picked 18 or 88

88's because they're literal nazis lel

>8
>GK

Dry heaved

There's only one logical order:

----1-----
2-3-4-5
-6-7-8-
9-10-11

........7........
6......8......9
.....5....2....
11.10..3..4
........25......

Guess which players they are.

Hint: at least half are Spanish.

its

----1----
2-5-6-3
7-4-8-11
9-10

if you're playing four four fucking two

How does this make you feel?

anybody saying that CB's should be 4 and 5 have no clue about football and should be banned from this thread. 4 is for DM's, 6 is for CB's.

Check out this dm

6 is for MF since the world was created

It's CB in the south american system but I have no fucking idea why a brit is claiming that it's always for cbs

...

because it is.

Lupatelli ex goalkeeper of Fiorentina

check out this CB. yeah, there are players that don't follow the usual, like balo being 45. doesn't mean its not been the general rule of squad numbers since football began having them.

Only if you're exclusively playing 442, which hasn't been the rule for decades

>he thinks formations determine squad numbers.

If i'm right Argentina used to assigne numbers by the Alphabetical order. The first Player in the Alphabet got the 1, the second the 2 and so on

That's literally the reason for the continental split

When numbering came in we played 442 and s america played 424

>A time for confessions thread
It seriously bugs me when I see anyone but the 2nd goalkeeper wearing the no.12 jersey.

Thoughts?

I personally prefer 7 for the left winger and 11 for the right winger

how do fuck did he make the 2010 wc

me too, it's the worst number, it just doesn't look good on outfield players, but for goalkeeper its the best, really wierd

>2-3-4-1
Beats this boring 4-2-3-1 these days.

I remember the Netherlands fielding the numbers 1 to 11 in a WC 2014 game. It was really satisfying

How does this make you feel?

Nah Beckham made 7 a left wing number

there was a valid reason behind this

>bergkamp

triggered

Fabregas wearing number 4 trigers me.

Instead of numbers, players should be wearing letters.
