Honestly I’m still not over this

I'm on team don't care but you all raise some VERY good points
 


The club should take care of our mental health in particular fans like me with OCD. #2 is for RB. #3 is for LB.
I’ve always thought that was a mess, too. Why does the right side come first, and why does it all break down with centre backs?

Classic 4-4-2 numbering ought to be:

GK - 1
LB - 2
CB - 3
CB - 4
RB - 5
LM - 6
CM - 7
CM - 8
RM - 9
FW - 10
FW -11

But that’s nothing like what we’d expect to see thanks to goodness knows what nonsense in the late 19th / early 20th centuries.

No way!
3 is LB, 2 is RB and 11 is LM with 7 RM!

That was in the days of squads of 12, now with squads of 25 it's impossible to do
