RTG Sunderland Message Boards
I really hate playing senior players out of position rather than giving young players a run in the side. I always have. It's one of my least favourite things about modern footballs switch to disposable coaches and long term directors where a team manager knows there's no benefit in spending a year improving a player.
So the recent call for Sunderland to play a false 9 in the media rather than persist with any of the 4 strikers we've signed has really got on my nerves. As a result I was really not happy with Mike Dodds starting lineup on Saturday.
However after actually watching the game, as everyone now knows, Jobe did not play as a false 9. Jobe played as a centre forward. He played really well as a centre forward (though tired towards the end which is understandable). I assume he will play the same position tonight.
How long does he have to play there before we start counting any goals he scores as centre forward goals?
