Great stuff.

Find them a joy to watch.

Yeah not sure he did anything at all.

Just a supremely gifted footballer. To be honest most of the footballers mentioned in this thread are supremely gifted athletes.

Totti appraisals: "A great player! What a phenomenon!" — Lionel Messi "Totti is an artist of football, a true Number 10." — Michel Platini "Totti is immortal and he is a symbol of our sport. I only regret not having worked with him." — Carlo Ancelotti Ferguson tried to sign him at Manchester United too. Feel people maybe base their view on him on his late career European appearances with Roma who were often a poor match up for Elite European Clubs. The guys career is amazing and he won some prestigous awards in Italy when the standard of player was very high indeed.

Feel like the play offs would be hell.

I like Hillsborough

Amazing.

Rio Ferdinand is such a prick.

would have hated it if we'd signed Tevez.

They should really stop televising Everton games

Looked like the mob boss in a British Gangster flick.

Why are our statues so crap

Yeah, I’m swaying toward Everton running out of road. They don’t look like a team that will go on a run either.

Meh. No shame in that. We don’t have a pack to shuffle at the moment and the players have been working very hard with little rest. Clearly the squad isn’t good enough to go toe to toe with one of the best sides the league has seen.

Has shades of boxer body OG Ronaldo

think Joelinton probably is a hard man.

Also this commentary is just a fucking love letter to Liverpool.

I love Radge Jo.

I think great players have often had the benefit of playing in great sides which means less thought has been needed about how to nullify and defeat opponents. Likewise players who go straight into a big club as managers probably don’t have to look at maximising their resources in the same way at players who have gone to clubs in difficult situations.

20 caps for England back then is not to be sniffed at.

That’s great

Not averse to Miggy's pace here. Having seen the problems Skiprat Sonya in brine caused him at the weekend.

I would rather Howe than Pochettetino, I know that's not really what this thread was about, but I have more confidence in Howe taking us forward.
