Cheers. His set pieces and ability to strike the ball have always been there. It was influencing games away from scoring goals and assisting where he struggled (as daft as that sounds). Stepped up a level with that this season. Hopefully you boys see the benefits too.
That’s it really. He’s very good in an open game but he does struggle for us a bit because he’s in a midfield 3 and most games are dogfights with attacking balls coming hot and high. He isn’t great at taking some control. I could see him being vital once Stephen Kenny comes in for McCarthy though.Quote:

That was a shit performance but a decent result.
Also, Dietmar Hamann is so much better at analysing a game than the propaganda crew.
I see the Great Penaldo Bottle Job has begun in earnest.
That’s some good work from you boys
The twat falling isn’t even the worst bit, but hang the fucking flag the right way around in the first place. #BREXIT
An Irish bar with faulty fittings, what a surprise.
Trap set for the Brits. Why change it if it’s worked for years?Quote:

Why's that? And neither of them always plays as a no.10; they both can and have played in a midfield 3.Quote:

Yeah mostly, in a 4-2-3-1 and a 3-4-2-1, but has played in a 4-3-3 as well.
There's no perfect midfield solution for us that I can see. I'd play Winks over Henderson if he was playing for Spurs but for some reason(?) he isn't a guaranteed starter.
Mount is a 10 really who can also come from wide of a 3 if needed. I really rate him but I'm not sure how he's found his way into the starting England XI at this point. Southgate seems to think it's the under 21s.
Is Grealish still qualified? He's going to turn into this generation's Le Tissier.
Steady on.
Maddison has played his best stuff for us as an 8 rather than a 10 or out wide.
For some reason, im watching Coventry vs Tranmere. Coventry have had 18 shots in 80 minutes. Tranmere have just scored a banger with their first shot. Coventry are playing home games at Birmingham.
FM20 :cool:
We’re still on favourites to go through with Italy and losing away to Bosnia isn’t such a surprise as they are better than us on paper. The manner of defeat raised some concerns though as we were completely outclassed.Quote:

Random.
He is 42 today. :cool:

Should be McGinn starting every week for Man Utd instead of that mong McTominay.
Doesnae play for us.
Fucking love him. Gone in the summer but it's gonna cost an absolute fortune.
We turned down paying £50k for him when he was at St Mirren Hahahaha
Wait Persia is Iran?Quote:

It’s probably not something most people need to know really.
I lived with an Iranian at university who insisted on 'Persia', but then she bowled around with her hair out and everything so probably doesn't like Iran.
That England midfield is so shit. No idea how Rashford/Trippier are starting either.
Rashford is still normally pretty decent for England isn't he? Southgate is a bit like that, even if he has been as rubbish as anyone else for United.
Ross fucking Barkley though.
Dream strike partnership of McNair and Evans smashing the Czechs here.
2 weeks off for Trent.
:drool:
:D nice.
That must be about fifteen years old.
I wish I'd seen it sooner then.Quote:

If you concede a free-kick, and then stand right over the ball - if the oppo then is a bit of a dick and kicks the ball at you - you deserve to be booked. As soon as the free-kick is awarded, get back 10 yards.
Yeah does seem a bit counter-productive. If morons are doing monkey chants (it sounded like booing to me), asking them politely to stop isn't going to work.Quote:

I can't believe that guy from Hi-De-Hi (a) isn't dead and (b) appears to be on the Bulgarians backroom staff.
Not to make light of it, and I can well imagine the Bulgarians are massive racists, but hopefully this racist chanting is a bit more than simply booing black players/Raheem Sterling otherwise, closer to home, that's Liverpool's title hopes in the bin right there.
I can't think of a single racism-induced stoppage in this country since we voted to leave these retard Europeans behind.
Wouldn't be shocked if England don't come back out in the 2nd half.
I'm amazed everyone is remaining relatively calm.
Half time racism highlights.
:cool:
Probably better than the football, certainly from the Bulgarian perspective. World class prejudice.
A partial stadium ban seems a bizarre punishment. Only your diehards and ultra's can watch the next game, nobody else.
'...these scenes, Roy?'
'Listen, if you're gonna be a top player... You don't see your Ronaldos and your Gareth Bales going out there and being black.'
