Actually, I've never liked "defender" as identifying a position. Should be forwards, midfielders, and backs. After all, when possession changes to the other team, aren't they ALL supposed to be playing as defenders?

I agree with this 100%. When we have the ball we have 11 attackers, when the opponent has the ball we have 11 defenders.
