  1. I saw the vid and he's got a lot more skill than I thought. Gerrard and Yaya did play as a 10 for a number of years, though. I see Grealish as primarily a winger tbh where as Eze has a lot more dynamism to his game.
  2. I see no similarities between Jack Grealish’s game and Eze. Grealish cuts in from the outside and plays on the left hand side of a front three. Eze plays on the left hand side of the midfield three. He may be the most attacking midfielder in the team but he’s no way a winger and replicating Zaha’s output would be extremely difficult. You also have to remember Zaha is basically 30 and has always been some sort of winger. I think Eze should continue to develop as a midfielder because he can become a very good one, one that could surely play for England. I think Eze is a classic midfielder and when I say that I mean a 6 goal season for the rest of his career would be exceptional.
  3. I've seen him mostly in the middle or left of the midfield three... This was for Palace, didn't see him for QPR so not sure he played in the front line there. But I think it'd going to be a tough order replace Wilfried Zaha. The amount of fouls he gets, the goals, assists and general shithousery may take a few cycles to get right. I do hope he stays. I think he will as a lot of the big teams have players in his position and I could see him becoming a wingback like Victor Moses.( And if anyone thinks I'm bringing up the old LWB again, Louis Van Gal told Zaha himself you have two options, - wingback or number 9) They'll build a statue if he ended his career there. Iverson may never have won a ring but the respect he has in the game goes so much further than that. I love Eze btw but I thought he was a 8/10 depending on the system. Zaha is primarily on the left, no? Where as Eze is all action in the middle third. Thought Eze was the driving midfield type like a Gerrard or Toure.
  4. Zaha and Eze are completely different players. Eze’s a driving type midfielder and Zaha is a winger who’s a striker in todays game. Don’t think Eze will stick around like Zaha. One good injury season and he’ll be off. Think CMs like that are hard to come by so its best to get them when they’re available at the best price.
  5. Heard Leicester fans are unhappy because Arsenal keep diddling with the price and they just want to spend the money already.
  6. Always had this fantasy of Ronaldo going to Ajax to stadpad his numbers even more.
  7. It would be a good time for Ronaldo to leave. Persevered his legacy at 37 in a poor Man Utd squad. No questions can be asked about his ability. showed up everyone like Maguire, Sancho, Rashford, Pogba, Bruno.
  8. Agree with your take on Tuchel. Don't think he's knows how to play his forward line.
  9. Understandable. He'll probably be on 100k+ if he signs a new contract. Just though it was weird because Smith Rowe is on 40k and Martinelli 90k but they probably signed long term contracts recently.
  10. Speaking of Arsenal wages, I saw this earlier this morning - Arsenal's wage breakdown by player. https://www.the-sun.com/sport/5615307/arsenal-wages-fabio-vieira-bukayo-saka-gabriel-jesus/ Saka on 30k
  11. Started 16 games. Did score that 'goal' against Liverpool in the League Cup final.
  12. Finished Chelsea top scorer for the season. His numbers weren't as bad as I was expecting.
  13. Thought he should have stayed beyond 2012. Dunno if he wanted more playing time but he would have been useful with us being in the Europa League the next year.
  14. I think I should have said I "barely recognize anyone from the Ireland side", although I didn't realize it was Sunderland's James McClean. Usually you have a few stars but you guys were playing players from Brighton and Tottenham's U23 side. Either way, credit to ya. 1-1 draw in Ukraine is a great result.

    England

    OGS got Man Utd to the Europa League final and second but he was still a shit manager. We need a manager to match the player's talents.

    England

    Yes. Making a complete mockery of the competition starting players like Gallagher and Guehi. I'd count this as a major honor. Absolute disgrace starting this is.
  17. Astroblack

    England

    Outrageous team selection from Southgate. Rice, Sterling, and Grealish should be starting.
  18. Don’t recognize a single name in the Republic of Ireland team. Maybe Troy Parrott and Scott Hogan but it’s a stretch.
  19. Going into the last year of his contract.
  20. This keeper is a mentalist.
  21. Yea Matty Ryan is a pretty reputable keeper. Weird decision.
  22. Aussies subbing their goalie for the shootout!
  23. Modric is absolutely bossing this game.
  24. Favorite Undr the Cosh is Aaron Wilbraham. Some absolute brilliant stories in there. Hadn’t even heard of him as a player but great episode. He’s got a story in there about his former manager(Martin Allen) eating a wine gum out of the toilet that will have you in stitches.
