  1. Shaw, Maguire and Kane have done ok. Bellingham, Rice, Mount and Saka have been particularly poor.
  2. I feel like I can feel like you can feel it’s coming.
  3. I’m seriously impressed with this US side. Musah, Adams and McKennie works well in the middle and Pulisic has the quality to hurt teams. They’re well drilled and they’re athletic. We might go on to win this game, but there is a lot to like about this American side. Southgate is a f***** moron.
  4. Or shoot the officer and then disappear into the night with a friend and hope you make it to Georgia or Moldova or somewhere like that. There really is no way back for Russia in this war is there?
  5. So like this... ————————Watkins———————— ———Bailey———————Buendia——— Digne———Kamara—Luiz————Cash ————Mings—Carlos—Konsa———— ———————Martinez—————————
  6. You know what, I forgot about Carlos! Yeh, he'd slot in there I guess. Buendia could play ahead of Ramsey as an example. Either way, we definitely have the players to play this formation.
  7. I still think we could play a very good 3-4-2-1. ————————Watkins———————— ———Bailey———————Ramsey——— Digne———Kamara—Luiz————Cash ————Donk—Mings—Konsa————— ———————Martinez—————————
  8. This. Nobody is paying Ings what we’re paying him here. He’ll run his contract down and then look to pick up a couple of 1 year deals before retiring around the age of 34 I suspect. I think he lacks the natural fitness to play beyond that - could be wrong. Everybody knows Ings was a panic buy. We’re stuck with him. I just hope Emery can get a tune out of him. The early signs are quite good. I can’t see us signing another striker unless we sell Watkins.
  9. Definitely. If Fabinho can’t get into your midfield, you’ve got some very good players!
  10. To think Brazil have Ederson, Martinelli, Jesus, Rodrygo and Fabinho on the bench. Some squad. Surprised Paqueta and Richarlison start.
  11. I think we need to be much more patient with our young players as a whole. Get the likes of Ramsey, Irroegbunam, Kessler out on loan until they’re 21/22 if necessary and then bring them back to see if they’re good enough. Chelsea did it with the likes of Mount and Abraham. I know we all want a team of superstar 20yr olds but players like Kamara, Bellingham and even J. Ramsey to name but a few are an exception rather than the rule. Id have no issue if Ramsey, Irroegbunam and Archer went back out on loan for the whole of next season too.
  12. Any decent Japanese players on view here?
  13. The most depressing part of it all is Saudi Arabia will win their bid in 2030.
  14. Agreed that money talks, but I'm not sure that opposing modern slavery, equal rights for men and women and equal rights for the LGBTQ community are 'wishy washy liberal views'. I wouldn't class myself as a 'liberal' and I sure as hell think this whole WC has been a completely distasteful, unmitigated disaster.
  15. Even when Wesley was here, I thought he was such a poor player. He did ok in a couple of games but for the most part, was very, very bad. On top of that, you have the injury, which sounds as if it's all but ended his career. I feel for the bloke.
  16. I've been saying this for as long as anyone will listen, we're not great at loaning our players out. We either don't loan them out, or we make a mess of the club we loan the player to. There are, of course, a couple of exceptions, but on the whole, we need to improve at it. In fairness, I think we have improved since NSWE came in, but we still could be a lot better at it!
  17. I've never been that impressed by him whenever I've seen him play (Liverpool goal aside). I've always thought Kessler, A. Ramsey and Chuk were the players that had the best chance of breaking through. Hopefully he surprises me, but I think he's destined to ply his trade in either L1 or maybe the Championship if things go his way. Which is fine, he'll earn more money than I will in my lifetime.
  18. I really can’t see us signing Thuram given the clubs he’s linked with. Although I did say that about Kamara and we did well there.
  19. I think you're right, but I also think Cricket has done an excellent job of re-inventing itself almost and moving with the times. Yes, it's heavily commercialised now, but you can't say it hasn't driven a huge amount of interest in the sport. Like all things, there needs to be a balance which I agree, there isn't at the moment, but T20 and to a lesser extent T100, have really made cricket an attractive option as a sporting event to go and watch and take the kids. My brother in law hasn't been to a cricket match in his life but went to a T100 game at Edgbaston recently with his daughter and he came back saying he can't wait to go again next year. That's an example of somebody who has no real passion for the game, going and enjoying the sport with his family. That can only be a good thing.
  20. I watched an interview with a pollster on CNN and he framed it quite nicely by saying Trump would lose simply because enough people dislike him so much that they would vote against him regardless of who is running for the Dems (if that makes sense). However, if DeSantis were to run, it's likely he wouldn't garner the same hate and people would at least entertain his ideas and views. Trumps race is run. I'm convinced the only reason he wants a second term is because it will help him avoid spending the rest of his days in prison.
  21. This is where I’m at. If someone came in with a bid of £55-60m, they’d be doing so off the back of a handful of decent performances for us. I can’t see it myself. Bailey is getting better here but if someone offered mega money, I’d sell and try to replace with two starters.
  22. That Dest looks like a handy right back. I’ve always liked Pulisic, would love him down the Villa.
