No Pickford? No Defoe? Piss off.

Hilarious Otamendi is on there. Seems the melts from Utd fans when he gave them the snubbles was misguided.

Kante's in the team? Screw the rest.

Though I do have to wonder... what the heck is the criteria here? And why is Bellerin playing as a 3rd CB (and Otamedi I suppose)? OK, the answer is Kante (Also Kante > Pogba), but... this feels like... umm... random.

Let's see, CIES? Magic formula? And that's how they got to that? (Also, just for Spurs and United fans, Kane and Martial are apparently the 5th and 6th most valuable players in the world, but unfortunately for them, the top 4 take up those key four spots.

So apparently, according to this CIES... Pogba's actually increased in value to 155m Euros (89m Pounds = 103m Euros) Is that the United factor that explains why?

Lol Dier hasn't played at DM (in the league) since September.

 

[Fryer Tuck]

Also, Algeria lost against Tunisia... and now needing to win against undefeated Senegal, it looks like we might be getting Mahrez and Slimani back early... but I get the bad feeling that the early exit is going to hurt Mahrez back, he really wanted to do well in this tournament for his dad. Algeria were the best team for the last two years, so this is very disappointing (but good for us).

I wish Senegal would just lose already. Fuuuuckkkkk.

 

[go you pups]

I reckon we could replace Dier with that sort of coin

Will GNev ever manage a team again? Or was he that bad he'll never get another shot? Or is he too big shot to go down to a Leyton Orient and work his way up?

Just finished Bergkamp's book. A great read. It just showed absolutely how well he read the game and how well he understood it and was always planning ahead three or four seconds ahead of anyone else.

Highly recommend it.

On the other end of the spectrum I'm reading Redknapp's latest book. Not overly ground breaking but quite a fun read. Can see what made him work well at Spurs and Pompey. And why QPR was such a disaster. Faps over Fergie quite a bit in it

If he was more physically gifted he would have been close to the best all time PL player. Imagine his brain in Henry or Ronaldo's body.

There was already a player like that though:

Redknapp's book talks about Le Tiss quite a bit. And how he handled guys like him, Merson and Kanu is quite brilliant. Just told his team that these blokes wouldn't tackle or chase but just give them the ball they'll get us the points

Just in terms of pure ability I think he is tbh.

Entirely possible. His reading of the game was ridiculous and how he went through things it definitely makes you think just how he came across it. Incredible player.

Hm. Wouldn't know who else could come close.
