That's also what they said about Deschamps prior to France winning the world cup.
Deschamps tried to shoehorn players in, he still picked a very talented first XI. His coaching was suspect but in terms of selections, it was not that poor...

Rashford doesn't seem very smart in his play at all. He doesn't seem to spread the play when required, attack the box when required, make runs when required. He makes things congested.

TAA playing in a defensive manager shows that he is not world class talent he is. I guess we should take that into account when our players don't play to the level they should be.

He was doing so much right before the injury too. Looking like he's not a same player.

Because world-class fullbacks are best with defensive managers? :houllier:

Frank de Boer has managed to shape the team to reflect his style very quickly.

Shocking stuff.

Southgate and Solskjaer as our managers. What have we done to deserve this?

Philips is being lauded as the next big thing for English football but we had Carrick who was much better player and Scholes who was an generation talent.

The only channel that works on the Sky go app on Xbox is Sky News and I'd rather die than watch that shite.

Nobody is saying he’s not a good player, he’s just not as good or as exciting as Grealish. He is also a clear favourite of the manager, which opens him up for ridicule.
What s wrong with a manager preferring a player over another?
Some people over here pretend that they choose the team. They should apply for the job of they want to do it.
