He’s absolute garbage.

I know what you mean, in that he’s not a “gifted” footballer. But that’s not been the requirement of any full-back, ever, except maybe Trent. The flip-side of what you’re saying though, is that if it’s just a matter of coaching and paying attention, then why haven’t there been loads as good as him? (Because he’s actually a fantastic footballer).

Yeah.Maybe he was going to ask the fullbacks to push up more, regardless of who was playing there in this game. Villa didn’t offer much pace out wide that other recent teams have, so maybe he was more comfortable getting them to bomb on.

That might be true. But I know what my eyes are telling me. A great example of the case against just using stats.

That’s not real, it’s just the Stark Tower from IronMan thingy.

I don’t think anybody is saying they’re bad players. I think they’re good players, but appear to have been bought without a proper system or continuity in mind. Or they have mental (Kerkez), or perhaps physical limitations (Wirtz) which makes them unsuited to this club/league. Early days obviously but the warning signs are there.

Yes, you’ve got to look at the overall contribution to the team. He’s dilutive, rather than additive these days.

He’s absolutely s***e. Sick of the sight of him.

The useless c*nt.

He was literally looking in the opposite direction. Absolutely wild.

A bit of a d*ckhead wasn’t he, Smith? Not to speak ill of the dead and that, and surely a great player for the club.

They’re a big club in the same way Britain is a global powerhouse.

Yes i don’t understand why we brought Endo on yet also kept Grav at CB. Seems conflicting.

Agree thus far. Closest comparison I can think of so far is Smicer. Clear talent, but not good enough at the physical side of things. Big game needed vs Chelsea please.
