Got a bit of insight to what can happen in these situations.
Was working for a European club who had changed to a data-driven approach. They had an old school guy who was looking at African talents, where data is less required but him and some of the data guys were clashing regarding an opinion...
Still have to laugh at that Geordie lass who was giving it the big one to a spurs fan at start of season about them having Tonali, Spurs having no Kane and noone to compete with the players they were signing.
One if those players that looks decent in PL because of the way the game if played but exposed to European football and his shortcomings are really highlighted
Why do people keep labeling us as part of the "big 6 cartel"???
It's really irritating because they are suggesting that we do what we like but won't let smaller clubs do the same. Protecting the top 6 and shutting others out.
In reality, we are actually fighting the monopoly clubs and trying...
The problem is Southgate is a 'structure' first kind of coach.
The defensive stability should be there first and then you build on that.
But that means you have to have elite attackers in their best position AND be very good tactically.
Souhtgate isn't tactically sound enouhg and he keeps...
Yeah..There's no need to continuously keep picking Maguire, especially in friendlies.
And there is none whatsoever in bringing Dunk on.
Dunk should be a reserve. It truly baffles me why he is giving game time to someone so rigid and old when you have younger talents that could use that game time.
I think a lot of our tournament performances against the weak or mid teams were good.
Blew away Sweden, Senegal, Ukraine etc.
They are not great teams but Capello, Sven and Hodgson made hard work of some of these kind of games.
So that was refreshing as we has been dreadful in tournaments...
At least Deschamps has good in-game management skills.
Southgate really struggles to inspire OR make us tough to break down.
Any time we get into a good situation against a big country, we can't kill the game or the game slowly gets away from us.
Kaka was the one but he faded when he went to Madrid.
Neymar is up there for talent but fucked all that up with his ego and moving to PSG and thinking more about his brand.
But yeah, it really is odd that the talent just isn't developing in the way it used to.
Brazil have had numerous...
He's a special talent mate, absolutely.
No idea how it goes from now as we all know how these talents can end end up if they make bad decisions/let things go to their head etc.
He has a little bit of tunnel vision at times so can over dribble but he is a player who will attack the full back at...
Yeah, I think there Maddison is still not sharp as he was.
It happened a lot at Leicester where he returned from injury and was ineffective.
We need an alternative here for when he is out but also to play alongside.
