Positions are constantly evolving in modern football. Or rather, there are no new ideas in football. Just new contexts in which old ideas seem revitalised. None more so than the role of the full back.

Liverpool’s Robertson and Alexander-Arnold appeared to have redefined the modern full back, but more recently we are seeing “inverted” full backs. And some full backs, like Diogo Dalot can be like Robertson and Alexander-Arnold, and invert.

Jon Mackenzie explains how. Marco Bevilacqua illustrates.
