hps2031a 2 Posted September 4, 2020 Firstly this maybe irrelevant, as he have leave for pastures new, but if he doesn’t. l still believe Ben Godfey would make a much better defensive midfielder than a centre back, I see him in the same mould as Declan Rice at West Ham, and also think, that is where he would be if we had, had better cover at centre back, young reasonably strong, athletic, can pass and tackle, could dictate from centre midfield, any one else think along the same lines?

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,703 Posted September 4, 2020 What a refreshing, left-field idea this is. I don't think anyone would ever have thought about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The analogy to Declan Rice is an interesting one, definitely see what you mean. I think it's fairly settled that as long as he plays at Norwich under Daniel Farke he's going to be considered a centre back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NorthCarolinaYellow 197 Posted September 4, 2020 Godfrey's true position is GK and it's glaringly obvious to all! If he's not in goal tomorrow I'm jumping on the Coventry bandwagon and leaving you all behind! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icecream Snow 761 Posted September 4, 2020 Is it wrong of me to want Ben Godfrey sold just to stop this type of thread? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,518 Posted September 4, 2020 He is a centre back for sure, but he is the kind of footballer who could play anywhere on the pitch, so it is not entirely wrong to think he could go back to being a centre midfielder.......but for the moment he is a CB. What would be very interesting imo would be a three CB set up with him in the middle, enabling him to get forwards more than he does now. With Zimmermann and Gibson or Hanley on either side, he could have that freedom and ability that could make him a person to build the team round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
