  1. World Cup 2018 - General discussion

    England have been playing 3-1-4-2 in the most recent friendlies with Sterling playing off a striker. Dele Ali and Kane were missing from these friendlies but they could easily line up like that for the start of the tournament with Sterling playing off Kane.
  2. World Cup 2018 - General discussion

    I think he is going to play the same formation as he used against Italy and Holland which was 3-1-4-2. Three at the back with width coming from wing backs. In midfield, one holding player shielding back three with two more attack minded central midfield players ahead of that. Upfront either...
  3. Away form

    The biggest concern with United's away form is that under Mourinho the best side we have beaten away from home in EPL in terms of their Premiership place was Bournemouth who finished ninth last season. After them we also beaten WBA, West Ham and Leicester who finished 10th, 11th and 12th...
  4. The next four games...

    Personally, I think every game becomes must win when you are 8-10 points adrift of the top spot if you are serious about challenging for the league at least until the gap has been narrowed to 3-5 points. Even this early in the season as dropping points just means we drop further off the pace or...
  5. The next four games...

    If we are going to challenge for title we really need to win 4 out of 4 with the way things stand. City have a healthy lead which we need to be looking at cutting down and the Arsenal game is significant because of our recent away record against the other top six. We really need a win in one...
  6. Smalling or Jones - who goes?

    Neither. Rojo is unlikely to be fit for the start of the season and could well be out for quite a long period and we need 4 specialist centre backs to get through the first half of the season. I can't really comment on Lindelof but I really don't think there is much between Smalling, Jones...
  7. Álvaro Morata | Chelsea player

    Looking at his stats, he was never a first team regular with Juventus. Made more sub appearances than starts both seasons in Seria A and when Champions League is factored it the number of games he started to sub appearances is close to even. Seems to have been favoured in the Champions League...
  8. Álvaro Morata | Chelsea player

    I am glad if UNited sign Morata but I think it is a big stretch to call him a top five striker in Europe. For me, Lewandowski, Suarez, Ronaldo, Kane, Higuain, Costa, Benzema are all currently better and more proven. That said, I think Morata can develop into a top striker with regular football...
  9. Television Tho Prop Grops Throps

    Wrestlers get very limited freedom on promos. They had freedom to say whatever they wanted in the 90's but they clearly do not have that anymore. Listen to Kevin Nash, who was one of the best promos in the 90s, talk about his promos with CM Punk in 2011. He just had to accept that Punk was...
  10. Television Tho Prop Grops Throps

    You know these promos are scripted, yeah? It is not like a freestyle rap battle. It's booked this way. Cena might have enough stroke to ad lib parts of his promos or just be given bullet points but the segment was booked for Cena to look like that. The Miz(and Maryse as well) had no comeback...
  11. Television Tho Prop Grops Throps

    In fairness, Rock and Austin in 2001 were much bigger stars than Ted Dibiase and Macho Man. There is no full time wrestler on this roster in 2017 who is a bigger star than Bill Goldberg or Brock Lesnar, or for that matter Undertaker or John Cena(who is now effectively a part-timer). That's why...
  12. Eric Bailly | 2016/17 Performances

    I don't the fact he is coming from the side makes any difference because at all times he is behind the forward player and is trying to nick the ball ahead of him, so the effect is very similar. The player is directly ahead of him when he attempts to win the ball and Bailly is at all time behind...
  13. Eric Bailly | 2016/17 Performances

    In the circumstances of this match, when we are comfortably winning and we are comfortably into the next round and he has already been booked, then yes. A defender trying to win the ball coming from behind a forward player is always risking making a foul and receiving a booking if they mistime...
  14. Television Tho Prop Grops Throps

    Goldberg is probably the most over guy in the company at the moment judging by his reactions. I genuinely do not watch Raw but looking at what I saw tonight I'd probably stay subscribed to the network if he was main eventing Mania. People also seem invested in this feud with Lesnar which for...
  15. Television Tho Prop Grops Throps

    They had a PPV feud for the unification of the title 3 years ago and got booed out of the building at the Rumble 2014. That match got a poorer reception than Batista winning the Rumble in my opinion.
