Man Utd’s player of the season so far, Christian Eriksen’s performance against France…should dig up some of the comments this summer about him from this thread.

    Jules72 as well as the ones about Denmark being a shit side when we beat them in the semis.

      Jules72
      If you start digging up all the #inshite in this thread you’ll fuck your back up mate

      Thought Luke Shaw had a pretty good game last night… Macguire is probably done now, but Shaw I can imagine makes a comeback - still a useful player when on form

        If fatso binman Shaw can’t get in the Unitard side and thus getting a game then he should be obsolete. That’s how it works if you’re not being managed by such a prick.

        Jules72 agreed, he had an excellent Euros. Couldn’t care less whether Ten Haag fancies him or not, he gives good balance on the left and didn’t flag over the 90 mins

          alistair yeah especially given the lack of alternatives in his position

          alistair
          He’s good on the ball and his distribution is pretty good, but lacks intensity and can be prone to defensive lapses.

          Those characteristics may be better for one team than another, for any number of reasons.

          Unless fitness is an issue, not sure any manager would not pick a player who best suits what he wants, from the players available to him, just because it doesn’t suit another team.

          Unless he’s a fuckwit.

          Amps so you would expect players who have short careers to give up the chance to play at the WC?

          • Amps replied to this.

            Jules72 Over six thousand dead, those millionaires can have a summer off, plenty of other silverware available in their careers.

              Amps big ask which is why none have done so…. In any case it shouldn’t have been held in Qatar - disastrous idea

              RichM that’s mad, nothing says football like a giant rave spider!

              baggers44 Southgate is done and he knows it. he will just tread water until the inevitable ejection from the tournament when we are outpassed by a team worse than us on paper but actually operates as a coherent team. i hope i am eating my words tonight but we have such a ploddy approach i cannot see it.

              If you look at the structure of the World Cup draw, though, he could easily get to the Quarter Finals without having to face a decent team.

              Winner of England’s group plays runner-up from Group A. Assuming England scrape through on top of a highly mediocre looking group, and Holland don’t implode and do win Group A, England face Qatar, Ecuador or Senegal.

                bosstrabs shame we never had that draw in 98, 02 or 06! i’d be worried if we played Senegal tbh!
