Nottingham Forest

Luca Netz

A left back who arrived in English football with a reputation for attacking output rather than defensive discipline, scoring goals from play at an age when full backs are learning to defend their box. He gets forward on instinct rather than waiting to be told.

Luca Netz, The Left Back Who Attacks First

A young full back whose attacking instincts arrived years before the defensive side of his game caught up.

Netz made his name in German football as a left back who thinks like an attacker first, scoring goals from open play rather than only setting them up. He gets forward on the overlap without needing much encouragement from a coach. That instinct to join the attack rather than hold his position is exactly what a manager wants from a full back in an ambitious team.

It is also exactly what worries a manager trying to keep a clean sheet, because a defender who attacks on instinct is not always the one who recovers into position quickly. Forest fans will be watching to see whether the defensive discipline catches up with the attacking output. Right now the two sides of his game are simply not moving at the same pace.
