" Mick McCarthy: Playing players out of position "

Mick McCarthy talking about Leandro Bacuna:


"I don’t see him as a right-back, that’s for sure. He’s more of a creative midfielder to me. When you haven’t got many options, you have to try something. I guess that’s what Neil did. I don’t want to be moving players round and playing them out of position."

creative midfielder :laughing6: :laughing6: :laughing6: :laughing6: :laughing6:

i don;t care what they do in training, when they are shit week in week out on the pitch and there are young kids bursting with energy and enthusiasm to play, get the con artists out of the club, and give others a chance.

Bacuna being creative is a bit of a stretch from what I've seen!

Give it a bit of time for micks philosophy to take effect and hopefully see rolls and bacuna be far more effective along with Tomlin and Wilson coming in things look promising especially for next season..
