He’s played a lot better since i said this
He’s a talented player but a lot of people talk like he’s good enough to run the show for a top club and I don’t think he is. He looks really well suited to the counter-attacking style of Forest.

This has ruined my acca before the 3pm games have even started but it’s hilarious.

You’ve made us proud Nuno

🤣🤣🤣 @djhotspur deleted the post.

if you make a big call, own it!
Yeah, nothing worse than people trying to hide when they've got something wrong, we all do it from time to time and nobody really cares, bar the odd piss take.

As you say, if you want to make a bold statement, at least have the bollocks to own it.

I’d love to know how some of the early 90’s PL sides would do against this modern football.

Fitness and conditioning would be an issue over the whole season but for one off games imagine say Keegan’s Newcastle, 4-4-2 going at teams, so direct, proper old skool wingers who can get to the by-line and cross to 2x proper strikers who know how to put the ball in the back of the net and backed up by a back 4 and at least 1 defensive midfield all who are physical and know how to properly defend.

How would these modern day snowflake players deal with the likes of Shearer & Ferdinand or Sheringham & Klinsmann or Yorke & Cole etc.

I know teams these days keep a lot more possession and are tactically more organised etc but at times I wonder if some modern day tactics overcomplicate things and some of the older style teams would do quite well nowerdays (as long as VAR was turned off and the game was allowed to be a bit physical like it used to be).

Didn’t realise what an absolute tool Callum Wilson was until he came to Newcastle. Cant think of many more PL players I dislike more than him right now, possibly Bruno moany Fernandes and Matty leg breaker Cash.
Speaking of Matty Cash, you've got to love Madders....

💯 game is about opinions who cares if the majority disagree, own it if it’s what you think.

Those players wouldn’t cope with the pace and high press of teams this days. The tactical side of the game has moved on massively.
Plus most sides have 4 men in the centre with a 4 3 3 and an inverted fullback so they’d walk through a double pivot 2. Look what happened to us constantly under conte with s double pivot.
