Ah, I see. Clever.

Yep, nothing screams cleverness like having to explain a fairly simple pun. I can even velcro my own shoes up.

Which player can give up on the pitch, put in some of the worst performances of his career culminating in not bother tracking back and still get starts because he’s “experienced”

This. Mcneil’s tracking back v Leeds cost us a goal, yet he’s picked ahead of George or Dibling, or even Aznou. On the one hand Moyes says young players aren’t ready but on the other hand repeatedly picks the likes of Mykolenko, Keane and McNeil who either through mistakes or lack of ability, cost us goals and points every time they play.

I expect it will be the 'Dwight did well in training, so gets his chance' line he used several weeks back.

Does this mean George will be Beto's replacement at 65 minutes then?

If McNeil is the answer what is the question

Tectonic plates are famously slow moving, can you name the only footballer who is slower?

 

[RomanReigns]

Be nice if we could do the uno reverse card on them after they dicked us at the hilly dicky ticky tock stadium

& his feet

...coordination, basic football knowledge...

This could be a plot line from 90s/early 00s Eastenders.

Neville Southall...now

James Tarkowski
Michael Keane
We’ve got the slowest team in the league!

Would still beat McNeil in a leg race... with Dwight having a 20m head start.

 

[Blue Roo]

If we get into positions to counter attack quickly gotta see the ball get to Ndaiye's feet in the effing centre (with Beto a useful foil and finisher)
The problem with this is Moyes set up, it means Gana or Jake taking the right wing in the follow through.
If Ndaiye plays left with KDH thats not a problem.
The whole set up tends towards Illy being isolated and having to do it all on his own.
At least if he gets into the centre something may come of it.

I cant argue with that
