  1. Surely has Fifa has got to issue bans for those involved in this?
  2. I can't say I'm surprised that Peter Bleksley is condemning the armchair detectives, despite igniting them with his comments during the Nicola Bulley investigation. I guess his opinion just changes with who improves his bank balance.
  3. But if Klopp or Poch are not interested, and we're not going to offer Glasner a contract the size of Lineker's BBC one, there's one man we shouldn't overlook.
  4. To be fair, it's a piece of cake for two years, even Roy sleepwalked us to tournaments with less teams qualifying, then it's 100mph when the tournament starts.
  5. "Numbers lie and liars use numbers". Without looking at the statistics I'd assume Trent is higher for tackles, ball recoveries etc and I'd also assume Manchester City have had more possession than Liverpool. For that reason I'd also assume Kyle Walker had conceded less errors leading to a shot or a goal.
  6. Simon Carvajal - Le Normand - Laporte - Cucurella Rodri - Ruiz Yamal - Olmo - Williams Mikautadze
  7. Kyle Walker is definitely better than Trent Alexander-Arnold defensively. The only people that think otherwise are Liverpool fans. Not that it matters now that Gareth is gone, because if the new manager wants to play a back four, Ben White should be a certainty at right back unless he done something completely so outrageous he's not allowed back in to the camp.
  8. I hope they at least speak to Klopp and Poch before they go English or promote Carsley. Given how many years they're worked in England, I don't think there would be the same disconnect we had with Capello and (to a lesser extent) Sven.
  9. I think it's the right time for change. I'm sure as the years go on he will be remembered as the man who changed the culture amongst the players as opposed to being the bridesmaid in finals. If he stayed another tournament I'm worried his legacy would have been tainted.
  10. I will say I don't think there will be much optimism going in to the World Cup. There seems to be an expectancy, based on what we have seen this tournament, that Brazil and Argentina should hurt us with there attacking football. Then there's going to be a reaction from the likes of Germany, Italy and France following this tournament. Not to mention it wouldn't be a surprise if Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier retire now meaning we've gone from five good right backs to chose from four years ago to just Trent that's very questionable defensively given Reece James is always injured and Aaron Wan-Bissaka never pushed on. The biggest issue that will hold us back now, and i hate to say it, is Gareth Southgate. He needs to make some big calls around whether the likes of Harry Kane, Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham are going to fit in to the best cohesive eleven and I don't see him doing it.
  11. There scouts appear to have spent a lot of time in Hull last season.
  12. Sheffield United looking better now than they did at the end of last season.
  13. The price tag we wanted was significantly higher than 50m before the world saw him at this tournament.
