I saw £50k a week too, had a look due to chuk Saw some say £30k a week for him is mental but when sanson earns £50k and sansons place on the bench will potentially be taken by someone who earns even more...

If VP anything to go by a few sideways or backwards passes and our fans go nuts. ‘**** get it forward’!!! When they lost it with a long ball its "what did you do that for, was a free man 5 yards away" Same following Ireland with a new style, some of the comments on the Ireland twitter and Facebook are similar with people who miss hoofball under O'Neill and Mick McCarthy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where I am too, especially with the EL, its a mental block from the PL teams not helped by UEFA making it a lesser competition and the media here peddling myths over the Thursday / Sunday games somehow being harder than Wednesday / Saturday games That's why the PL is (was) so exciting and competitive, theres far more mental brain farts and mistakes in the PL from big teams and top players and I say was because that's what city and Liverpool are changing, they're far more consistent and ruthless The EL is the perfect storm, players who don't always turn up in a competition they don't really give a shit about 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its on the coaching team for me, if a player is paid so much you have to be able to coach ability out of them. They didnt get the wages for nothing so the ability is there Btw this is not a dig at Gerrard its football in general 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the average positions from more or less every Lens game Doucoure played in he was the sitting, deepest midfield player for them. Similar to Bissouma's positioning really.

What was even scarier is that Davis could be on 45k. Cant be right though. I don’t think either are on this much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Doucoure is a 6. Whether he played as a CM in a 2 man midfield or not, he's a 6. Some CMs can't play as a 6 (Ramsey for example) some can't play as a 10 (Kamara) but many DMs can also play in a 2 man midfield. Infact it was almost always that way, Viera is the gold standard still for physical, dominating presences in midfield. When people describe a DM, if they aren't describing Makelele/Kante, it's Viera. He played in a 2 man midfield most of the time. Even Makelele often played in a diamond at Real, I'm not saying there were no 3-man midfields or 6's as we know them today, but it kind of (in my memory) came back into mainstream fashion with Makelele/Essien at Chelsea and Busquets in Peps Barca. 100% some aren't as good going from CM to a 6. Our own Dougie is a defensive-leaning midfielder but he can't play as a 6 to the best of his ability - he can do a job - but it's not his role. But I'd be surprised if any potential top-class 6 couldn't also fill in at CM if the role demanded it. Going the other way is more difficult, sure. But seeing one playing at CM shouldn't be a red flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Seems Pool are closing in on Bellingham. In the past, you would have thought this is the kind of transfer Man I would be making. However, it seems they continue to go down the failed " Galacticos " route. Which continues to result in them having brilliant players who aren't a brilliant team.
