Astroblack Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Rice is a centre half playing in midfield. Very good at breaking up the play, not much else to his game. It might develop but he will be more useful in games where we don't have so much of the ball. Don’t think we need to try diffrent players in this position. Alli can do this. Honestly choked up when Southgate mentioned education in his press confrence today. Raheem said that in his tweet. What a man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 England always have a piss easy qualifying group like. Yet they often used to struggle with "easy" teams, making it look like a chore. This side are making it look easy, when they went behind I didn't think for a second that they'd struggle let alone lose, I knew they'd win by 3 or 4 at least, I've honestly never seen a England team anywhere near as good. Was thinking similarly. They do look really good. Semi-final last time doesn’t look a fluke and we’re getting better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Hoping that cunt will be replaced soon enough. Angus Gunn seems to be a talent and has a far better attitude that that fat prick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Liverpool have the same problem in midfield and they’re doing ok. But they still need that Coutinho replacement. Think they’ve been linked with Fekir who could do the job. Checks(sp?). I know. Liverpool improved when Coutinho left. Coutinho wasn't particularly creative, his best skill was just scoring screamers once in a while His expected assists for Liverpool per game was 0.32 for the last season and a half he was there. Milner averages 0.25 De Bruyne 0.38 Gini 0.05 Henderson 0.06 Eriksen 0.28 AOC 0.27 Kroos 0.22 Fraser 0.39 (this season only) Maddison 0.27 (this season only) Think that would prove otherwise. Also, Coutinho's able to put his foot on the ball and probe. Not necessarily create but build up a slow attack. They can't do that very well without him. But still they're a great time. "Expected assists" ffs Yeah WTF. His actual stats read much better. 16/17 36 Games - 14 Goals + 9 Assists. 17/18 19 Games- 12 Goals + 8 Assists Total - Goal Involvement 55 Games - 43 Goals Goal Involvement - .78 Expected assists is a nice stat because assists by nature require the other player to do their job and you can get an assist for a player scoring a screamer or wonder goal. Coutinho currently plays with Messi, Messi scores from all types of difficult positions. I think it’s a good indication of underlying creativity.

I will start large portion for me as I thought he would be crap. He has been brilliant in dropping old has beens likes Rooney and Hart as well as bringing in young players and has flexible tactical systems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 One of the few managerial opinions I got right, thought he was a very good choice. I didn't expect him to do this well on the pitch, but I did think he was a good choice to change the culture and perception around the England team.

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Wouldn't want him anywhere near NUFC but he is creating a decent National Team to be fair to him. If you have a decent pool of players playing as a team you can compensate for not being brilliant tactically. Deschamps is a good example of not needing to be the 'best' manager.
