Big Defenders vs skilled & fast players

[Guest]

Why is it that some coaches put athletes with the biggest bodies on defense regardless of their skill or speed?
Especially when they cant win a foot race and the team has given up more goals in one year than the last 3 total years combined.

Defense is the worst possible place to put your weaker players.

Where else would you put them?

You put them up top where they can’t be exposed.

So you stop scoring too. If they are poor players then they shouldn’t be on the team.

Totally agree. If they were big, fast and can score then up top they should be.

On the bench!

Just kidding defensive mid and up top. Big players that aren't too fast can get coverage in the middle. They can dominate the middle in the air and play the ball up.

Regardless of size, if you can’t bench your weakest players you hide them up top.
