Peppino Impastato Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 A sweeper is just someone who plays as part of a defensive line with no marking duties, always spare. Can be in front or behind or both depending on phase of play. Look at sammer for Dortmund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I took Pep's advice and googled it; "The sweeper (or libero) is a more versatile centre-back who "sweeps up" the ball if an opponent manages to breach the defensive line. This position is rather more fluid than that of other defenders who man-mark their designated opponents." How can you be the guy who sweeps up when a defensive line is breached if you're playing in front of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple stuff really. ETA: Personally always thought Sammer was more of a centre half in a back four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leomessi1984 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Robertson = stand out in a team top end of the PL and in the Champions League Final Tierney = stand out in the SPL and did well in a team papped out of Europe with some absolute pumpings off the top teams Tierney has the potential to be as good if not better than Robertson but until he leaves Celtic and proves it then you cannot argue he is better. Playing against diddys in the SPL will not help him (although he has looked decent when in CL). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
