Guessing it's something to do with Ashley? Would seem too coincidental for them to end up supplying (of all the 100+ clubs in England and Scotland) the two clubs he has links to? I don't mind it, hopefully they will want to go all out and make a great design that reflects us in some way and isn't just a copy & paste template job.

----------------Dubravka/Schmeichel---------------- Pereira--------Ogbonna-------Dunk-----------Digne -------------Ndidi---Ward-Prowse/Allan------------- Saint-Maximin----------Grealish--------------James --------------------Vardy/Jimenez------------------- Possibly something along those lines. I always really like Ogbonna when I see him play but I appreciate there's probably better options out there. Dunk is undoubtable.

Like it, could argue Grealish over Zaha perhaps... but I think I agree with atleast 6/7 of your picks. Neves I'm not sure about, think he's looked quite poor for a little while now.

Looking at the "likeable 11" and also this recent talk of the european super league got me thinking, what would people's best 11 made up of players outside the top 6 clubs? (Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, City, Utd & Arsenal). Vardy or Jimenez for striker? Would ASM get in? Dubravka keeper?

Jesus. Would probably be Hendrick - Hayden - Shelvey - Lundstram in a midfield 4 with Almiron and Fraser on the bench.

Messi has been an absolute delight to watch tonight.

Not for Barca no.

He's clearly of the level required, just doesn't fit in. Class interplay with Messi there mind Not seen anything to suggest he is tbh, a back heel won't change my mind He royally fucked up a chance about 10 minutes after that back heel too. I think back to Pedro, Villa, Sanchez, Suarez more recently. Griezmann isn't on their level.

Not entirely sure what Griezmann is meant to be good at. Been such an awful signing for Barcelona, nowhere near the required level.

This. I was always a bit mystified with a section of the fan base, mostly online mind, that seemed to want to do down his ability. Just enjoy what you’re watching, he’s a one in a million type of footballer. It's happening (albeit online) with ASM lately too. After that Brighton game he was criticised insanely harshly given what he's done for us. It's almost as if certain people lurk in the shadows awaiting an excuse to complain.

Did he love tabs? Few lads at my school, two in particular were operating at a level way beyond their age, but they couldn't resist a Lambert & Butler and a shot on the bucket set hidden behind the oak tree at the bottom of the school grounds

Definitely, although I wanted to be Shay Given. I even got my hair cut with a receding hairline to look like his and started buying Sondico gloves and Adidas Preds.

Still one of the most entertaining players playing the game. Saint-Maximin is brilliant but he's not quite on Hatem's level for me. Anyone who claims to enjoy or love football has to simply admire him.

He's also an offside little weasel.

Definitely. I don't even mind the playing style, it's the way he whinges to the ref as soon as anyone touches him. Proper annoying fucker.

Perhaps a bit like what Murphy was like in his first season here. Just needs some time to grow as a person and and as a player I guess. Potential is evident.

Rate him very highly, has such a well-rounded game. Strong enough to hold up play, technical with the ball at his feet, able to beat players, insanely good movement to get in behind defences. Class act.

He's okay, some way behind Manquillo's level and certainly some way behind what Willems offered us. Willing to give him time though as Manquillo took a while to hit form here (even though Bruce seems to have dropped him now despite being our best full back by a mile).

That's the problem when everything is so stat based as it is these days. People stop believing what their eyes see and start reading off some bullshit stats thinking they're getting a complete picture. Sports yuppies I call them, these XG lot. Dull fuckers. I presume Schar may have a lower completion rate than a lot of centre backs as he tries more difficult passes than 5 yard square passes. Truth is, he's a better passer than a lot of midfielders, especially ours.

That was beautiful.

Fucking hell, twitter is such a wretched, desperate, dishonest place.

:lol: Holy shit

Podence was lovely to watch like. Looks like some player. Can see why they have dropped lube limbs for him.

Class. As we all already know.
