Jimbo > Alex Scott + Anderson + Mainoo

Big Kev really did bits getting him in for us.

Said it before. Outside of Declan Rice he’s England’s best midfielder.

World class.

Declan Rice isn't actually that good either.

Surely he will be getting a call up in the next England squad

Really like this fella but I think his game has suffered from playing alongside Gana.
For me, Gana is like a bull in a china shop sometimes and lacks discipline, and this often leaves Jimmy exposed.
When the AFCON was taking place, I thought Jimmy really stepped up and was orchestrating everything.

The perfect example of what a top manager and his coaching team can do to a player.

It just makes me wonder what they could have with other players over the last 10 years.

I thought the tactics last night was a clever switch, play gana further up to trigger the press or go full kitten after a ball of wool mode when we lose the ball, and leave Garner as the dedicated holding mid with KDH as a hybrid. It was a move that allowed the same team that play so smartly away also play effectively at home.

Garner, Tim, Ndiaye cost less that 1 Tyler Dibling.

I figured there was something tactically different that we got spot on, like enabled us to have the control we have when we're away -but couldn't put it into words what specifically it was. I think you've defined it

Agree 100% and the comment in bold did make me laugh

kev brought in chermiti who's now delivering for rangers albeit in the Scottish league

question is - did moyes really want dibling or was he pushed
dibling just doesn't fit into the type of signing moyes makes at that sum of money

If he's here, Moyes was on board with Dibling signing, everything established about Moyes's insistence to have some form of influence on everything would reinforce that notion as well. I think Moyes was and id okay with a long term developmental approach over just making an instant impact.
