Biggest off putting thing for me is 'winning' fouls. There's like a code that everyone agrees with that a touch means you can go down. It's spoilt top flight football as there are not battles. I have to say, latter stage De Zerbi football was horrible. The worst type. Slow possession for its...

A rapid foreign obscure winger eh? I think Tone needs to check he hasn't left a filter on his spreadsheet.

Just heard Southgates post match interview. Which included the phrase, 'We are where we are'. Good news for Potter. He'll only have to modify the syntax very slightly ro fit seamlessly in.

Hes absolutely wasted there. We've got a rolls Royce if a midfielder who could dominate the game and he's wafting around up front feeding odd scraps. He's only there because he plays there for Madrid. But they've got Kroos, Camavinga, Modric, Vazquez, Tchoumani who all play there so can afford...

Yep. I've been a bit outside all of the criticism of Southgate to be honest. But I've definitely seen the light. Absolutely zero inspiration or tactical awareness, dying on the hill that is TAA, no Cole Palmer etc etc.

Should have brought Palmer on and Bellingham back into centre mid yo influence the game.

He can pass if he has a ton of room. But he's hiding in short passing spaces. Which is what you need in central midfield. You can't really give up a space in midfield entirely for someone to play long balls into space when he feels he has the requisite time on the ball. CM is about short...

The game completely passes Alexander Arnold by. What the hell is he supposed to be doing? Hes terrified of receiving the ball in tight spaces, hardly moves, is completely casual and his so called passing 'range' appears to be myth.

Stats are for American children. I'm all about the vibe.

If he goes, he goes with the warmest of goodbyes. He's earnt the chance to make the decision on his own terms. If he does go, we need to look forward to a new era. Central midfield is a key area we needed to work on this summer anyway so a couple of high grade, job ready recruits are required...

Me too. Everton set to have a nightmare summer. Look set to lose Branthwaite and Onana and offering contracts to Coleman and Young. Going through a protracted sale and still got PSR pressures to sell without buying. Hopefully we'll get them in a state of flux.

I'll be away for Everton & Utd. Unlikely to get value ticket for Arsenal. My first game will be half way through September!

"Trent" is crap.

Back 5? Pickford is an exceptional goalkeeper. This error prone narrative is absolute nonsense.

Top of a midfield 3 arriving in the box late. Number 10-ish Like an Aldi Bellingham. That's where he plays for Poland and looks good. Hopefully fully fit for next season.

Anyone remember that game at the end of the season where De Zerbi the master played him deep between the two centre halves? Honestly think he was just rolling the dice and phoning it in at the end there.

Maybe see Pascal on now if they rest Kroos or Gundogan?

I love him but when he talks, Solly gives off some heavy Gareth Keenan vibes.

Sorry to bring this old Thread back up but I got such good advice last time. Meeting an uncle visiting from France and meeting on Worthing (long story). Any suggestions o what's the best gastropub type place i might go to tomorrow evening, early 5.20-6ish? That will be OK with kids, in the...
