Think it was one of the reasons EH didn’t drop him in midfield when Longstaff was playing injured when we had no one else. Didn’t want to make a rod for his own back by sparking another debate. Think he’ll be LB for certain games and regular wing back for others if we change formation for certain games.

I agree. Thought he pulled the defender forward holding his shirt causing the leg collision. Surprised when asked in the studio for a reason not to give it none of the pundits put forward any argument 🙂

No idea the source credibility but something to embed 😆

Was thinking similar. Looks a handful. Record at Bologna nothing special but definitely worth keeping an eye on.

@Theregularscalled this months ago. Think he predicted a Saudi move but West Ham interest might give him food for thought. Was £26m being banded about yesterday?

EH doesn’t.

Nope. Owners have actually surprised me how smart they’ve been in the transfer window.

Think his release is E45m but already on big wages circa E200kpw

Not just visually. If a “wrong” call is made when only 1/100th of the player was actually onside you’d except it. The problem now is 99/100th is onside and it’s always offside.

It’s always going to be measured in fractions but visually the difference will be half a yard so it’s more palatable if giving off when 99/100ths of the body is ahead of play rather 1/100th. Never understand why this is so hard to comprehend.

Isn’t he a left winger?

Just bobbles up slightly but ultimately he wanted to watch himself score instead of getting his head over it.

I’d imagine if true we’d be lucky to get him for £20-22m. Centre forwards never go cheap.

Always thought too much is read into the Italian game. Yes I agree it was our best ever chance of winning something as personally thought our team was at its peak (and better than the current one) but Italy came into that tournament unbeaten under Mancini (?) having their best streak of form ever for the Italian national side ever was it not? Early goals are always misleading and it’s not as if we lost the game in. 120mins. Just bottled the penalties after supposedly pick our best 5 takers.

Another Saturday morning transfer link like Trafford… never a fan.

And they say I don’t know Ball…

That Austrian penalty decision a disgrace. How’s that not reversed?

They were both penalties 🙂 Other that he didn’t threaten much IMO. So 21 v 15 which is signs of a decline but agree it’s marginal though barring penalties had a quiet last few months. Will have to agree to disagree but I don’t think Spurs would get £100m this window so think they sold at the right time. If you think that’s knee jerk then fair enough. Id be disappointed if we chucked £100m at him this window.

Your legs going is more than just losing your pace. It’s also fluidity of movement slowly getting that bit stiffer. Trust me I know 😆 Didn’t look much in the games that mattered last season and anything but brilliant. Appreciate he scored a lot of goals but where they not in the main in the early to mid part of the season. Like I say will be interested how his next 12 months goes. Feel like Casimiro he was great at the start and middle of the season but not long after the cup win against us the legs went.

Will start with the midfield as that’s the problem… Never been a big fan of Rice and even less of a Gallagher fan so neither disappointed me. Both limited. TAA is not a midfielder and hopefully that’s the end of the experiment but it looks like it’s just going to be replaced with Gallagher. Bellingham hasn’t played well in the last 7 games I’ve seen him. Not liking this habit of his petulantly sitting on the ground. Walker on par but gives you little going forward. Trippier the same and done canny out of position. How he’s found himself England’s current LB seems very unprepared selection. Pickford no issues other than in these situations a calmer keeper might be more beneficial. Centre halves doing well considering it’s a new untested partnership. Foden clearly not happy where he’s playing and is being wasted. Saka I don’t rate as highly as some but doing ok. I said at the time Spurs sold Kane at the right time as his legs are going and will be interested to see how he looks next season. Having said that 4 points is a good return from two tough games. Let’s not underestimate the opposition. Spain aside rarely have I seen a club coast through a tournament. It’s all about the knockouts. Would love to see Foden as 10, Jude as 8, Rice as 6, Gordon as 11 with the rest that have been started. Even tempted to drop Kane but would start him and see if he fitted in I guess.

Seems like my mate was on the money…

Saw him live in Chicago almost this time last year with @Ameritoonand he score a pearler that night for Chicago Fire. Laziest player on the pitch but then just sprung into life.

Disappointed in Hungry. 2yrs ago they looked the part beating us comfortably twice iirc and seemed to get other promising results. Not sure what’s happened to them. Seem to lack belief, desire or any kind of fight.
