I dunno tbh mate. Pep is a great tactical disciplinarian, but he doesn't have much time for individualism. He hasn't got a great record of working with bad bois and mavericks - the likes of Zlatan for instance, even Grealish. He's obviously an...

True. I watched him makes his debut as a 16 year old in Ligue 1 and am surprised given the natural talent he displayed then how long it has taken him to secure a big move. have similarly heard issues with his professionalism He can be forgiven...

Sad that Cherki has gone to City. Players like that need the positional freedom to roam and license to take risks in the final third. For the good of the spectacle! Hoping that Pep doesn't train the flair out of his game and turn him into a crab

Jones is good enough (I'd actually start the coat). Gallagher et al aren't. Felt like a squad and two starting XIs chosen predominantly to 'have a look'. Autumn fixtures will be key - Tuchel needs to settle on a strong squad and play best XI...

Ok Nostradamus. If you'd called it on the day of the appointment then fair play, but doing so after the first signs of poor performance? Genius Judging the team at the end of a long season, with two lumpy starting XIs comprised predominantly of...

Arsenal need a traditional goalscoring no.9 there's no doubt about that, and if they don't get one then you could argue that they've failed in the market again But ask any Arsenal fan and they'll tell you that they are also crying out for a more...

That is what I say, isn't it? He's been unable to score enough goals over the last few years and - regardless of the reasons (which are, in my opinion, legitimate, and don't necessarily make him a bad player) - I don't see that changing. Ipso...

Under Pep, he was told to stay wide Under Dean Smith at Villa he drifted everywhere, even popping up on the right at times. He spoke openly about the freedom Smith gave him to go where he wanted

Slot him in the 10 Let him do his thing Would be class

This thread is littered with similar “jokes”. It’s definitely a wider footballing issue in general, certainly in this country. Why we have far right groups like “football lads alliance”. And why we won’t be seeing a top flight footballer...

I'll watch whatever game he's playing in, unreal skillz

Reminds me of early Messi days where I only wanted to get my fill of watching Leo play as much as possible - same with Lamine, I can’t recall a player that evoked so much joy from their play

Cor what a game. Some talent on show. Cherki changed the game when he came on, not seen a play that two footed since Cazorla But Yamal my christ, comfortably the best player on the planet right now and at only 17. Should win the Ballon Dor this...

Yamal is extraordinary and i see no current player at his level in the world. No one has the versatility and decisive impact on the game than the 17 year old, its unprecedented as the expectation would be that he can only get better

I also love how much he loves playing for and fits Everton. 100% effort 100% of the time, runs his socks off, bit of snide, and gets the fans going. Goodison has been a quiet place at times over the last few years and we've always said that the...
