Chelsea footballers: Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer end of!

I think he panics if he expects there's a shot coming. Don't know if anybody has noticed but he throws himself left or right or whatever before the shot has been kicked. He tries to anticipate where the ball will end up. It looks spectacular but it obviously doesn't work and he gets caught out.

First time I heard the word clown being associated with a goalkeeper came from Brian Clough after Jan Tomiszweski's heroic performance against England 1973. Resulted in England not going to World Cup in Brazil. I now see on this forum the same word being used to describe Onana. Also he seems to...

Hats off to our best player who's carried us over the post SAF era!

Yes with a name like yours (Mr MUJAC) I would imagine, like myself you fall into the "oldies" category on here and know what you're tailking about regarding home grown players from the late 50's. Manchester United Junior Athletic Club was started as early as 1938. The name MUJAC I was very...

Yeah but he's got Edwards as CB along with Stam not RB

Like when we bought Ted McDougall who was bangin em in for Bournemouth. Not exactly old (25 yrs) when we bought him in 1972. He'd chalked up 126 goals in 165 apps for his former club. The fact he scored the majority of them in the 4th division had obviously no bearing at all. We paid £200,000...

As follows: Schmeichel Irwin Edwards Stam Dunne Charlton Keane Ronaldo Law Rooney Best Some surprises in that team maybe. IMO The one that sticks out being Tony Dunne at LB. Saw him many times. Short 5ft 6in (1,68m) and very quick. As good has he was he doesn’t make my eleven. Irwin played...

You cant pick Grealish before Doku and be the greatest manager. If Doku had started the game would have been decided without penaliy shootouts.

1. Imagine the ball outside the box 50/50 chance it's a goal. Who do you want in that situation? 2. To execute the final pass on the counter? 3. Penalty? Bruno on all 3! (Maybe on penalties a tie with Rashford)

Said it before. Say it again. He's played in one of the worst eras the club has experienced both on and off the pitch. He's stayed clear of injuries throughout his tenure. Is far and away our most consistent and allround talented footballer. Wears the club on his sleeve and still people slagging...

Massive improvement since he came to Liverpool. However misses far too many clear cut chances. He actually creates more chances for others. If they can sort out his finishing he'll be pretty good.

Paddy Crerand?

Looking at the impact Rodri has on city it's dlfficult to find anyone from the past who has had such an influence on their teams. There's certainly nobody currently playing that can beat him. Gerrard, Toure, Souness, maybe.

I'd take the "young" holy trinity (Mainoo; Höjlund; Garnacho) to one side. Load up clips on widescreen of Robson; Van Nistelroy and Best and tell them thats where the bar is.
