Unfortunately for him, he was pretty much finished after 21. I've definitely posted about it before, but I've always thought that the dip in quality at the top level around the turn of the century compared to what came before and after it was massive.

The College Dropout Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Owen was obviously a world class player in his pomp. But Mbappe and Vini are both better. A lot better too. I don’t think they can ge in the same side however. And we are yet to see Mbappe work in an elite club side. The footage of him ignoring Alonso is untenable player power.

Isn’t it just one or two players? And you’re not always going to have ‘best of all time’ active players. Ronaldo aside I don’t think players 97-07 were better than what we have now. But they were a lot more aesthetically pleasing I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I love Rayan Cherki for example and 20 years ago he would be romanticised. But now because he hasn’t done KDB numbers we don’t rate him there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like everything is getting put in place for Southgate's arrival in the summer, seems a bit daft sacking Ashworth now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Chelsea want a manager to develop players to sell. Alonso will go to a club that wants to win or at least genuinely challenge. Liverpool, Bayern type job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard lots on how much Steve Holland is a great choice of coach for Carrick. How much of great job he's done at England under Southgate. Zero mention that Steve Holland was always England's footballing brain under Southgate. Everything England did under Southgate was lead by Steve Holland - rabbit in the headlights vs. Croatia and Modric in 2018, handing over the game to Italy for over an hour, refusing to play a left footed player on the left and 3 10's at 2024. As long as Man U, Carrick and Holland play Albania, Panama, Andorra and grind out a draw to Colombia you'll do fine. If I was a Man U fan, Steve Holland coming in under Carrick is a huge red flag.

Watching them do a half hour YouTube video about them sacking Maresca without managing to criticise the club or DOF was quite to the display of mental gymnastics. Client journalism cloaked in respectability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
