Bergvall would be rooted to our bench. They don't have a central midfielder which gets in our team. 

He would but he’s a better option off it than Longstaff.

They are crackers there's a reason why they're 16th in the table to then basically say that majority of there players are better than ours. 😂

Quote on TheFightingCock about us while watching our game last night:

 

"They are still boring and predictable to watch but yeah that starting 11 is clear of us by a good margin right now.

Players we have that start for them:

Vicario
Romero
VDV
Spence
Kulusevski
Maybe Maddison depending on the system

Players they have that would start for us:

Tonali
Bruno
Maybe Joelinton but he’s overrated
Isak
Gordon

Actually closer than I thought tbh"

 

Funny that when fans of other teams do this sort of thing they don't rate our players, but then Eddie rarely gets any credit either. Got to be one or the other surely?

 

It also shows how much Livramento and Hall are flying under the radar. I think Schar and Burn are underrated too although I'd definitely take Romero and a fit VDV in our squad. Everyone's forgotten about Botman obviously 

 

 

 

 

One of the craziest things I've ever read.

Kulu on the right would be class. That fucking sniveling coward "Madders" wouldn't get near our team. Van de Ven would solve our pace at CB issue, providing he could stay fit. Johnson would be a decent bench option, so would Solanke. The rest are shit.

Nah romero is a heed the ball. Van der hamstring seems to be injured all the time. 

Pope is better than vicario he's only had half a good season. 

Kulusevski I'd take mind. 

 

Yeah - appreciate the original comment was about starting places but I only said I'd take Romero and VDV in the squad. When fit (and that applies to both) VDV and Botman would be the best two centre-backs and Eddie probably wouldn't touch Romero anyway due to attitude. Am a big fan of Kulusevski and think he'd be great under Eddie.

 

My pet hate is that comments on the BBC/social media etc usually say "the players aren't good enough" when a team like Spurs or Man U underperform, and undoubtedly their recruitment has been shocking. However, people never seem to recognise the impact good coaching can also have, and how much can be done with a close-knit group and confidence. Sometimes it isn't as simple as saying player X is better than player Y, based upon a team's position or even a player's individual form, when it's usually more complex than that and depends upon how that player suits the system the team is using and the individual role they have. That's the challenge the recruitment team have in identifying the raw skillset in a player that will translate into performance in Eddie's system, whilst also balancing that with the player's personality. They've done well so far.

 

If you want success, recruit a good coach who can improve players, let him have a significant (if not final) say on transfers within budget, and give him time to get on with it. Something Mike Ashley absolutely failed to understand.

They have got some excellent players mind. Who starts for who, is always a bit silly, as no team is an exact replica of another, so it’s not always a fair comparison. For example, Cole Palmer’s brilliant, but what position would he play for us?

 

What they haven’t got, which we do, is an elite manager.

[Kid Icarus]

Hard to tell who would do what when we have a manager far better than their's.

 

DJ Spenk wouldn't get in over our full backs though and Vicario is a joke. Under Howe Kulusevski would, maybe Micky hamstrings and that's really about it.

[andycap]

Palmer would play right wing for us.

The Bruce really is very, very strong in that one.
