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.

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikky Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I don’t know why but I got visions of the Kaka pass to Crespo in the 3-3 CL final different pass for sure - but both unreal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Today's pass had my hands on my head in disbelief. It was Iniesta-like. What a fabulous footballer he is when on form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloGeordio Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 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.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 If Zidane had done that pass it would be in his greatest assists montage and that's the best compliment I can give it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) Willock, Joelinton and Bruno are probably worth near the price this club was sold for. Edited April 23, 2023 by Kanji Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Only a matter of time before he's in the England squad. If he adds goals, which we know he has in him, he's potentially a starter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
