If Lenihan and Williams are out I’d play Wharton but i just know Tony will move nyambe central and play Bennett or JRC (preferably if he is to move nyambe central ) RB

Gomez is the best CB England have by a country mile

Brandon Williams will be a good premier league player make no mistake over that. Luke shaw is very injury prone and with Telles being a new acquisition and an unknown in terms of acclimatising to a new league, area etc they don’t always settle quickly and it may or may not work out. If I was Williams I’d be staying around and waiting for my chance.

What annoys me is there is a constant chatter or more accurately threat of B teams with the likes of Chelsea etc being brought into the football league ala Spain to improve the England set up . i can’t think of a worse idea . How about instead of having B teams and paying all these youth players 40 grand a week waving all fees in loaning them out to clubs that need the players they cannot afford in exchange for game time and experience. Getting really tired of seeing these small clubs struggling and teams like Chelsea hoovering up all the talent with the vast majority going stale in a youth set up before vanishing

His ability was never in question but he did look unfit towards the end of games last season. Agree he looks the player I remember at Norwich this season up to now and long may it continue . Deserved his award

Have I just seen rothwell and George best in the same sentence ?

I remember him in a like a cow skinned onesie and shades when he was in Manchester . Looked ridiculous

If they hadn’t destroyed the club and it’s finances we would have a list of buyers longer than Epstein’s clientele list

I think he had the ability to be but even without injuries I think his mentality would have also held him back. He just didn’t seem like he would be 100 percent committed to the professional lifestyle which is what it would have taken for him to ever reach those upper echelons

Handing caps out like toffees these days. Pointless game, pointless exercise, nothing learned , fulfilling a fixtures . ?

??? brilliant . Well played sir ??

Youri djorkaeff Is a World Cup winner although steven nzonzi is aswell I believe

Bench Henderson, ward prowse, rashford, James, Barnes, Mount , rice, maguire, maitland niles, pickford, TAA, mings

Just seen the line up . Makes sense tbf Pope Gomez Coady. Keane trippier. Winks. Phillips. Sako Ings Lewin Grealish

Can’t really comment , only seen him play once for atletico and he played ok but that seems like years ago , must of been a champions league game pre original lockdown. Not seen the rest of the line up so can only assume it’s because he’s an experienced old head amongst debutants and less experienced players

Trippier made captain Grealish, ings, sako and Calvert Lewin start

Thought I’d bump this anyone tuning in ?

Can’t believe I overlooked Tugay ? good shout

It’s as simple as this analogy for me. we married them via an arranged marriage. they kicked the shit out of us every night , abused, used and raped us until this imaginary line that has just cropped up in 2018. since then they have stopped the physical abuse and Instead ignore and neglect us but buy us some flowers on Valentine’s Day via moonpig (Valentines day being the transfer window )

Friedels massive hands after that , Duffs dribbling. shearer . doesn’t need an attribute just a surname robbie savages hair

Shock horror. Fgs get rid

I do love the tales of the older posters . Slightly envious I never got to see not just pre premiership football but the evolution of the game. I do wonder if I will look back on current times with the same passion, love I. E the Doncaster game or even if we got promoted this year with the same love and passion say Tyrone shoelaces talks about a more honest working class less sanitised and monotised game , when local pride and local players mingled. Maybe I will. I guess it’s one for the older posters to answer. A bad example because of the ticket scandal but the best I can think of is do you look back more fondly of the overall game and experience from a pride , love, passion point of view of the loss in the cup final to wolves in 61 (I think) including the run to the final as much as or with the same passion as the Hughes team that lost to Chelsea at old Trafford including the run up to the semi final . If that makes sense ?

I don’t see what everyone sees in jrc that could boast of potential world class tags or even premiership potential. I think I’m time he could become a steady regular for us , I don’t see much else to suggest more. Not that he can’t become a premier league player. just i currently don’t see it even potentially

Shut out ? That’s a clean sheet for folks back in lancashire

Surly that was just about minutes and fitness . I don’t care if he played LB as long as he got some match fitness and game time ready for forest
