If he worked on his in the box composure a little bit more then this guy could be England material 1000%

 

Love him.

This lad will play for England.  We probably need a competent manager for this to happen because Southgate is useless.  If every English player was fit then I swear Southgate would play Rice, Henderson and Philips in midfield.  He loves hard working robots rather than class.

The point is, though, that each of those is good enough to play for England, but there should only be one spot for a player like that, and imo it should be Rice at the moment. Putting more than one reduces the dynamicism and stops off-the-ball runs into the final third as the player's natural instinct is to sit deeper and be the pivot when off the ball.

You are absolutely bang on.  Play one of the work horses, not all of them.  I agree with Rice by the way, I would love him here.  However, after the fa semi I've just watched, I must say that Caceido is some player.

Speaking to Sky Sports’ Keith Downie after the Spurs destruction, Bruno Guimaraes placed Willock amongst some very esteemed company with his comparisons: “Willockinho with his new hair today — he looked like Ronaldinho and played like him too. “An amazing through ball forJoe(linton) goal. What a pass! “Only Modric can play a pass like that. It was amazing.”

I thought Schar played the ball to Joelinton, and Willock played in Isak?

It was the best assist of the game. Outside of the boot on the turn from about half way?

 

Its better than the Cabaye ball. It’s the best NUFC assist I’ve ever seen.

 Sure, it most likely was, but the Schär assist for Joelinton is absolutely sublime as well, as was his assist against West Ham. Willocks today is sexier due to the outside of the boot, but both the Schär ones take out so many players from a completely unexpected position and executed by a CB as well. I just think there's an argument to be made for Schärs incredible assists :smitten:

It's an argument, not a good one, but an argument. Scahr's was good, very good even, Willock's was sublime.

Pure filth that pass, right in my eye line, you could see he’d hit it perfect the moment it left his boot.

I said as it looked like getting to Isak "What a baal man" and kept pointing and saying it as Isak took it and scored. I think I must've said "What a baal" half a dozen times.

Not quite an assist but it reminded me of Enrique's pass to Lovenkrands v Blackburn in the 10/11 season. Maybe not remembered as well since it wasn't converted but it's the best pass I've seen from any NUFC player, not sure about video rules but can find it on YouTube searching 'Enrique Blackburn'

Cheers for mentioning that, it came to my mind too but couldn't remember if it was an actual assist.
