Burley is a fkin troll, actually quite enjoying it in the light of this shite

Sancho has enough time here for a couple assists.

Sterling was shite.

This game shows yet again that Rashford is a winger or a wide forward, rather than a central striker - he just lacks that killer instinct of a great number 9. A fit Harry Kane or Jamie Vardy buries both of those chances.

it shows he's a shite manc, absolute overrated shite on the back of a few goals from when he first broke through, wank

Overrated yes, shite no. There's talent there, but no, he's not "potential world class" or anything. A decent-to-good player, if used properly. A deadly finisher, he certainly is not.

not quite getting why Southgate hasn't used all his subs at this point, its not like most of those on the pitch have been impressing.

If he played under Klopp he would look much better, he is clearly out of confidence.

Big area between "next big thing" and "shite".

I would argue Rashford occupies that space.

Absolutely mad that he had Joe Gomez and others warming up and then he doesn't use them anyway.

Well one thing you can say about him is that like plenty of United players before him, he dons his shooting boots against us.

Dim Glas · « **Reply #137 on:** October 12, 2018, 09:35:46 pm »

Spurs are going to be delighted when Kane ends up playing 2 full games this week!

I can't believe he only used 1 or his 3 subs. Having these games is daft enough, you'd at least take into consideration you can rest a couple more players who play CL and league and cup games pretty much twice a week for weeks on end now.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #140 on:** October 12, 2018, 09:40:49 pm »

22 in his last 18 internationals for Lukaku. That's some going by anybody's standards.

Kane has lost so much of his mobility, he has looked like he is pulling a fridge the past 6 months. Surely still carrying that ankle injury he was rushed back from.

The Barney role.

Walcott being a decent player with obvious weaknesses but also useful strengths. Like Rashford.

They are making a film about Everton in 2027/28 where a 41 year old Lionel Messi makes his debut after coming back from 5 years in the states.

This Nations League is gonna be a disaster for clubs if it means another tournament that nobody gets rested for. Complete joke to only make 1 substitution given how many minutes some of these players have played recently.

Nations League means 3 international breaks in a space of 3 months in a season when there is no WC or Euro at the end of it. The absolute shit c*nts.

Sir Harold looked fresh as a daisy didn’t he. 90 more minutes chasing Spain around on Monday should do him the world of good. Can’t rest the captain, what message would that send out?

Seem to remember a team from Andorra beating an Armenian club in the Champions League qualifiers a couple of years ago, so they've previous.

Disappointing hearing the booing with the national anthems in the Dutch-German game.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #159 on:** October 13, 2018, 08:05:54 pm »

Netherlands v Germany and there are only 2 world class players on the pitch. Kroos and Van Dijk are the only ones with claims, the rest aren't close.
