    Thanks again for all the comments, you guys are awesome 🙌🏻 a lot of people are asking what are the main differences between an inverted winger and an inside forward, and from what I could tell while researching this video, there really isn't much difference. The main thing I could tell is that an inside forward may look to cut inside a lot more often even without the ball. An example could be Ronaldo, who is always a threat in the box if the team is moving down the opposite flank. While an inverted winger will usually tend to stay wider and cut inside if he has the ball. However if the team is moving down the opposite flank, he would usually tend to stay wider and stretch the defence. Messi is arguably more of an inverted winger, cause not much point going for a header.. he's only like 4ft tall

    Inverted wingers need a proper fullback partner. In 2019-20, Barca had a tactical problem because Messi always inverted leaving the wide region empty because Semedo was so poor. Bayern frequently attacked through this region and ripped them apart

    Enjoyed this! Also worth noting that inverted wingers are a great way to showcase your GCSE maths skills: cutting inside diagonally makes a right-angle triangle with the touchline and byline and is therefore the hypotenuse - and the longest line. Cutting inside mathematically creates space for the dribbler

      From What I picked up while researching this video - there's not much difference between the two. The only thing I noticed was that an Inside Forward will play more centrally a lot more often and will get in the box for crosses.

      No real difference nowadays. But when the 2-3-5 formation was popular back in the day, the front 5 would consist of a centre forward, two outside forwards, and then two inside forwards who would be between the outside forwards and centre forward. You wouldn't call them inverted wingers because there are already wingers (outside forwards) in this formation.

    @duaneswaby622 3 года назад +1

    Great vid! Think this analysis is spot on.
    One big reason why Arteta's 4231 is failing is poor use of the inverted wingers, IMO. They tend to hug the touchline instead of occupying the half space. Not only does it make the job for the fullbacks easier, it isolates the striker against 2 or 3 CBs. Combined with slow ball movement it's no wonder we struggle to generate chances!
