Did he have a hand in creating the internet?
Our first team is lacking a midfield metronome imo, but at youth level we seem to developing a number of players who fit that profile. If one of Mainoo, Iqbal, Gore or Hannibal made it into the first 11, as a play-making #8, then that would be fantastic.It would be so cool if we could get an entire midfield of academy players in the first team again a la Beckham Butt Scholes Giggs.
Garnacho Gore Mainoo Iqbal Rashford maybe?
I think Garner was too slow, like Charlie Savage. Sadly reminds me of Galbraith and Zidane. McT is more of a runner and hustler and Gore has that. Mainoo is quick and with technical skill so this is why he stands out as well. Hansen and Shola worry me as well as even though they have amazing skills, their movement isn't the quickest and they don't seem to be able to dominate at this stage compared to the juniors.When you see Garner being moved on for a relatively small fee, it really seems that the chances of an academy lad holding down a place on the first team are so slim.
McTominay must give them all hope. He was less heralded in the youth teams than many others but has really pushed on. He's an easy scapegoat at times but ETH seems to trust him.
He reminds be a bit of Nicolo Barella.He doesn't play like an English footballer.
