Why not mix on the right? He plays there from time to time with the USMNT and he has done pretty well. Lampard has played in the middle most of his career.

Because if we're trying to protect Franks legs, why play him as an 8 that has to go box to box? Play him wide right. Use Brovsky as a guy who doesn't get up the field from his RB position. Pirlo can then put the ball on the toe of a Lamlard or Shelton from 40 yards. Mix can control the game from further up the field. Lampards best trait right now is his ability to find space. Utilize that by letting him make runs from wide.
There is no way Lampard plays out wide. He'll 100% have a central role, it's all he's ever done in his career, he does not at all have the attributes to play as a RM.
Kind of like how Theirry Henry went from a Striker to playing as a LM for NYRB?
Lampard and Henry are two entirely different players with entirely different skillsets. Henry was capable to play out wide at a high level. Lampard would not be able to play at a high level out wide. He is just fine in CM
Umm... no. Henry played wide left for a large part of his career (he played almost exclusively there for Barca), Lampard has never played wide.
Henry and Lampard are completely different players, and Henry started off as a winger early in his career, I don't think Lampard has ever played out wide
Henry started his career as a winger and has always had the skillset to play there, it's just in his peak he would have been wasted out wide, hence why he became such a lethal striker for Arsenal. Henry and Lampard are completely incomparable players, Lampard is a fantastic player but one of the least versatile you can imagine. As I said, zero chance he gets played out wide.
I've been coaching for a while now and have always had a few players that didn't have good soccer skills. I've always played them L/R Mids. It's usually taught and spoke about in coaching that it's easier to mask deficiencies at those positions and to focus your best talent towards the middle, strengthening the center first.
Unless you have skill players in all positions of course.
