Lame as shit.

It's OK, you're correct. actually ian, you're wrong what england needs is technical players who understand how the pass and move game works, not individual skill plus fluff we're decades behind the rest of the world because of this attitude, it has to change "eeeee, look at andros he runs dead fast and that he's brill", "aw we lost 2-0"

what?

Think it was ignored because it was a stupid comment. He's a young player with a lot to learn but he isn't brainless. He's not James McClean it was ignored 'cause it was by a forum favourite

what i've said in the comparison is that they both play with the ball at their feet then look to kick and run past the fullback, gillespie more outside and townsend uses his trickery to come inside and shoot etc. again reacting to the earlier comment about us equating skill to individualism all of this is why a lot of people couldn't see that anita was a great player until recently, a number of us recognised it but the majority didn't, it's the english way

And by the way, calling a player brainless is ignored, suggesting he's limited in scope is the worst thing in the world. Welcome to No everyone.

Describing Gillespie as a winger who plays in front of the full back is probably the worst description of a player i think ive ever heard. What were you doing while I was watching the games then? It's the perfect description of Gillespie. Personally i'd describe someone like David Beckham or Nobby Solano as a wide player who plays in front of the full back. Gillespie never had the ball out of his feet until he kicked it past the full back and ran. That was his game, that's why Fergie sold him to us, he was a one trick pony. Same as Townsend, which is where we started.

Hi Inochi.

the answer is 4 and unless i'm mistaken he had 2 very good games and we've lost the last 2 games in abject fashion alexf tells me the PL has worked him out, yet international and european defences, generally speaking much better than PL defences imo will not work him out? i was responding to some other people saying townsend has "no brains" and another saying we equate skill to individualism not sure why i'm the one being jumped on tbh

How many international games has he played?

gillespie comparison is mainly in the way they play in front of the full back, whether they go in or out it's immaterial if you're always in front

going on limited evidence he seems to me to be the type of winger who plays in front of the defence with the ball at his feet, and that's very easy to defend against at european and international level with team that moves off the ball as poorly as england at PL level there's often more space and defenders commit themselves more often when faced with a skillful opponent thus townsend and others can look great in our league and be nullified easily at a higher level with more structured defences - his 'best games' were when no-one knew who he was, if international teams pay attention to him i don't think they'll have a problem with him and by the way i think i said defences, not defenders, implying that on the continent and at international level they defend a different way to in the PL in certain ways he reminds me of gillespie, if gillespie couldn't kick it past the full back and beat him for pace his game was almost done...i see similar in townsend with some more tricks

I'm really confused as to what this is supposed to mean, like. I'm sure you can get there if you really try dude.

we played townsend well last week, he's a piece of piss for foreign (especially international) defences to cope with

They are lacking a CB and ST. However, Cabaye is more talented than Arteta at least. Flamini too. But since they have both of them he's not really needed when they have bigger issues. is he?

mind you, ian did get mildly irritated about the house buying process i suppose

as opposed to your own inflexible approach of talking unadulterated s**** regardless ground my gears this morning man, first there's ian saying how england "weren't that bad" while everyone reporting on the game said germany barely tried, beat us at a canter and could feasibly have stepped up gears if they could be arsed, which they didn't need to be then there's inochi deriding people for their opinions fluctuating with results, no fucking shit inochi some people actually care about the games i'm convinced the lad is a stu disciple tbh, stu probably grew him in the basement, gave him the koolaid or kidnapped him and groomed him over a period of years what price holding the middle ground? is there any event, anything at all that ian and inochi can't see the bright side of or hold a sensible middle ground opinion? i've yet to see it er yeah, rant over

as opposed to your own inflexible approach of talking unadulterated shite regardless Oh, good morning, mate. is it though, is it?

I wonder if Hatem feels the same way, perhaps explaining his dip in performances? did occur, impossible to say, but let's speculate anyway and commit to it being ABSOLUTELY TRUE

me too, and i never thought i'd say that the consistency he's shown alone for so many fucking years man

shame for HBA like, seems unlikely given his history with deschamps that whatever he does he's going nowhere near the squad

feel for ronaldo on this front like, as you mentioned since that 2010 semi and subsequent drubbings by messi & barca ronaldo really seems to have maintained and actually improved his focus and consistency...he'll lose to a bayern player i imagine this year but surely he could literally do no more himself in the last year?
