The Late Show...With Your Host, Cena

[Azzurri]

Hate playing as a false 9. It shouldn't exist- Striker or midfielder. Also, my height is a disadvantage for the role

Why, how tall/small are you? I quite like it myself. Don't have to stand round waiting for someone to pass you it, don't have to tackle or track back.

No one Groucho, our left back was playing between the lines adjacent to the deep lying reverse winger.

 

[Azzurri]

AZz are you actually good at football or just make it up?

Never said I was good. Just said I had a match.


I nearly did walk off, to be honest. I settled it by giving him a funny look until he flapped it and went 'just play up front but come deep for the ball sometimes' which isn't that bad I suppose.

I'm nearly 6'6 and normally play as a target man. However against "better" teams, we resort to this awful system, where I have to track a defensive midfielder and give two centre halfs something to think about. It never works for us, but that doesn't stop us doing it.

I know mate. I was just asking if you're any good really?

6'6?!?!

Bloody hell.

Bry, false 9 = Brenda Rodgers nonsense.

Errr... I'm alright. Played like Phil Neville tonight, though.

So what was your number 10 doing? Was he a false number 10?

 

[Azzurri]

Basically this. Similarly our manager is a bad Kopite with a Chico-sized head.

Phil Neville now or Phil Neville in that one good game he had for United and then based his whole career on?

We didn't have a number 10. We played 4-5-1/4-3-3 with no one properly up front and it was über gash.

 

[Macca99]

6'6?!?!

Bloody hell.

Still growing too

Phil Neville when he's man marking Bale at the weekend.
