Cos I saw Ireland torn apart by Georgia last week and get slaughtered but at least we were just playing agricultural shit badly and rightly punished by a bad team doing simple things well
These lads here couldn't beat a no-show

Players of standard- rashford striking, Kane in general, AOC while carrying, Alli while running off the ball, Dier in fits. Clyne is better than adequate cover.
― passé aggresif (darraghmac), Monday, 4 September 2017 20:06 (six years ago) link
In particular, AOCs decision making and idk ?attention? when delivering pass, cross or shot stinks of a lad convinced throughout a full career that the end result of his efforts were either not important or not his problem or something it is alarming that this has been considered not a bigger issue

Clyne is better than adequate cover.
You just forfeited the right to castigate a fullback ever again.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 5 September 2017 08:32 (six years ago) link
I dunno what I'm missing with him tbh, he does an ok job but doesn't do anything as such
Tbh the rating of players that carry the ball well to no effect whatsoever is puzzling me, because it's an attribute seemingly hugely values for some reason
― passé aggresif (darraghmac), Tuesday, 5 September 2017 08:35 (six years ago) link
Clyne was complete bullshit most of the times I saw him for the second half of last season, maybe he'll improve but any continued first team place is going to be largely down to a paucity of reliable options at RB for Liverpool. I dunno I like the look of Joe Gomez but I think he sees himself as a CB in the longer term.

NI have been a better value watch this int'l weekend, and not just because they've had a Charlton player in the side
As an aside and because there's no more general World Cup qualifier threads, Syria are currently beating Iran 1-0 and on the verge of qualifying for the World Cup. That's actually pretty cool.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 5 September 2017 15:45 (six years ago) link
Oh shit, Iran scored almost immediately after I posted that.

They didn't end up qualifying just yet, but they're into the playoffs thanks to a 94th minute equaliser.

1990 SF. is this even a good team? do any current players get in this team?
― Roberto Spiralli, Friday, 1 December 2017 14:52 (six years ago) link
obv quite a few genuinely good players there, Gazza, Lineker, Beardsley, Waddle on his day all probably better than what we've got now, obviously Shilton better than any England keeper since. they played like shit and were hella lucky to make the semis.
― Illegal Ethiopian Dance Music (Noodle Vague), Friday, 1 December 2017 14:59 (six years ago) link
I would probably put Stones in ahead of Wright, and Walker, K. in ahead of Parker.
By 1990, Shilts was not what he had been, and was looking forward to seeing his Argyle team spanked twice in the league by Exeter within a year or two.
― Tim, Friday, 1 December 2017 15:01 (six years ago) link
5 defenders, 2 midfielders, 1 winger, 2 forwards is something
my first reaction was that everyone midfield and beyond is clearly better than current equivalents but figure i am now one of those old ppl who automatically thinks players from olden times were always better
― Roberto Spiralli, Friday, 1 December 2017 15:10 (six years ago) link
Platt always mediocre and over-rated imo
― Illegal Ethiopian Dance Music (Noodle Vague), Friday, 1 December 2017 15:11 (six years ago) link
haha xp I was thinking the same thing, particularly in reference to David Platt. How good a player was Platt, D.? I couldn't really tell you.
― Tim, Friday, 1 December 2017 15:12 (six years ago) link
was lineker really better than kane
― ogmor, Friday, 1 December 2017 15:14 (six years ago) link
Lineker was just ridiculously good at scoring goals - I don't doubt HK does more work and gets more of what you young people call "assists" and whatnot.
― Tim, Friday, 1 December 2017 15:18 (six years ago) link
Top scorer in Div 1 for three seasons running, IIRC, including two of those seasons for a very mediocre Leicester side. Jonesy will be along in a minute to outline his scoring ratio for Everton which I can't be bothered to google.
― Tim, Friday, 1 December 2017 15:20 (six years ago) link
I think Kane is quite similar to Lineker and will end up having a similar looking career but at the moment I'd take Lineker in his pomp over Harry
