What is a number 10? 08:00 - Feb 18 with 977 views | Petros | I get the shorthand of "three number 10s" when describing the three we had playing behind Dykes yesterday. But I'm not sure Chair and Willock really qualify. For all their many strengths, they are both dribblers, they hang on to the ball, sometimes for too long, and lack the peripheral vision, speed of thought and appreciation of angles that mark the real number 10. That actually makes them quite hard to incorporate into a team - imagine being the striker that has to time his run when either of them gets the ball and starts jinking and dummying. Andersen to me looks like the real thing. And we have always loved a proper number 10. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

About 40 years ago the number 10 got bastardised out of existence. Basically, it no longer exists. | ![](/images/avatars/6823.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
