Not all lost for Pickering - He has the best average rating for me on Football Manager 26, swings and roundabouts hey?

Is your squad full of Eurotrash?

If I was at work now I'd be getting Photoshop out and a picture of De Neve and Tavares.

Something for you to do on Monday then 😉 

 

Have a few more, make sure to include Gestede & Pasha, lol

The club are getting away with it having blocked the LET (although Jackson wouldn't have asked anyway) but it is absolutely crazy even for this club to have arguably our best available defender frozen out.

Is he the solution to an absolute mess of a defence? Obviously not. But he should be starting either on the left side of a back 3 or at left back. He is steady, experienced, reads the game well and is good on the ball.

Miller is crap, McLoughlin is crap and Ribeiro is crap.

I would always have Pickering down as competent. Nothing special but very rarely has a nightmare. I would always class De Neve as incompetent. How the latter plays before the former cannot be due to footballing ability.

There’s a good reason that two much better managers than Ismael have rated him. 

However, his swipe at De Neve post match went a long way for me to proving mine (and many others) theory that he cannot be selected for financial reasons.

I don't think that Pickering is best suited by any means to playing as a wing back.

But he is superior to alternatives in either position. He is defensively aware and decent on the ball. He wouldn't keep switching off like the useless De Neve who doesn't even offer anything going forward either. Pickering was a regular in a team that finished 8th as a wing back but still, it would be a case of not ideal, but a million times better than a bloke even a relegated Belgian side were happy to let go.

Especially if Hedges is back, Pickering would be our best bet at left centre back. Ribeiro is crap and not only that, is very much a full back. Pickering has filled in at left centre back comfortably before.
