  • No, it’s just changed. People act like players like Maddison, Bruno or Bellingham aren’t 10s because they come back on defence nowadays. That’s not the role dying, that’s the role adapting to the game changing. No one is saying the classic 9 is dead because they’re expected to come back on defence, it’s just an expectation of the modern game.

    It is true it’s less common than it was. Formations like 4231 or the 442 diamond have seen a rapid decrease in favour of formations like 433. But saying it’s dead just isn’t true.
