England

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.

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.

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?).

 

:lol:

 

I know.  :lol:

 

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.  :lol:

 

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 think we should have a thread just on eating humble pie about Southgate.

 

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.

Not sure if there's a particular reason for that, but I wish we went back to playing all over the country.

 

The FA have said once wembley is almost paid off they'll start playing around the country more often.

Any idea how much they have left to pay?
