foreveryoung Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Jenas on MoTD. "Leicester been good, Maddison had a good year". Does he even watch football, Maddison for a start has been poor most of the season, Rodgers has only recently brought him back in!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwi1890 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Unbelievable from our pre match build up pundits, all they’ve talked about is , “Villa will have to make sure they can keep him here” about 3 or 4 different players, we’ve just signed Coutinho on a permanent deal and they are wandering if John Mcginn might want to move on to bigger and better things.

Any pundit that broke away from the crowd and just said "I don't believe it, he's currently negotiating a new deal and this is just his agent playing the game to get him a bigger deal, the spurs story isn't real" would instantly get so much respect and sound like they actually know something, instead they toe the party line wheel out the same guff and make themselves sound like they know **** all There's zero insight anymore, the only way to stand out is to be aggressive and miserable not to actually be good or know anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polish media was all about Cash moving on to "bigger things" like Man U or Atletico. The same story for a couple of other players. Selling them, giving fees, talking about shit, only for the player to sign a new 5 year contract the next day. I'm watching villa burnley on polish TV and they are saying Pope should be aiming for greater things. The guy is an England international and plays in the best league in the world. What greater things exactly? Crystal Palace? Pundits must play too much football manager, that's the only reasonable explanation. Or they are just poor.

From memory he came in during a meaningless friendly and ITV spent most of the game saying his distribution isn't as good as pickford and it was true it wasn't England play too many games where we completely dominate and the keeper can be judged on his ability to float 30 yard diagonals to a full back He also had the bad injury at the wrong time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Apart from Lacazette and maybe Kante, I think those are defensible choices, if the category is not 'Worst XI' but 'Biggest Disappointmens XI'. The actual Worst XI is just Norwich's most frequent XI with Firpo instead of their left back and Tyler Roberts instead of Pukki. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime I see Norwich they seem to have a defensive midfielder or full back next to Hanley so on that basis we can fit Harry Maguire in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has however missed half the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start of the season he was quiet, but second half of the season he's been excellent. 20 goal involvements in the league, most of which have come in 2022 I think he's very unlucky not to be in the latest England squad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
