Disliked then, perhaps. Hated is definitely extreme. I retract that. Just some players make me go ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Rodwell is probably my most h4ted footballer, above Forster. Absolutely mugging a living. Never showed any promise, never looked any good. Just played safe passes averagely well and got hyped to the heavens.

Yep, he definitely has. I don't know what it is with this forum; there's so many people who flippantly dismiss players who've shown a bit of promise in a poor team - it's like they're automatically guilty by association. Lemina has played for Juventus and done so with considerable aplomb. He's not pulled out of the bag here, yet, but as a footballer he's got something. He's not a Carillo, where there are no redeemable features or a JWP, who is painstakingly average irrespective of the team quality. He's got something, as have many of our players who so many on here want to sell or would quite hpapily do away with; Reed, Gallagher, Yoshida etc. It remains to be seen whether they can do it consistently but who knows and given the opportunity, I reckon many will be pleasantly surprised. Yet we have this weird w4nkfest when we do sign someone with many people telling everyone else that they're great players (Gunn, Vestergaard etc)... how many of those people have actually watched these players on a consistent basis to make that judgement? Now on here I'm reading Schneiderlin is a load of pump too... absolute rubbish. He's still a cut above what we've got and clearly has not meshed with his new club(s). Strange forum.

I don't think them not scoring much was entirely down to him. Think he's a great little player and still developing ... I wonder how much he'd cost though? £20m?

You'd have to have been certified mental to give him a five year contract, then another one a year later considering how limited he is. Oh wait, he's not limited - it's just bad form; In which case, I find it very hard to believe that no club would want a GK of his ability. Where is West Ham when you need them?

Vestergaard is the almost same height as Wilson sitting down.

Am I the only one looking forward to him towering over baggy suit Ross in the accompanying new signing vid?

F()cksake been saying this since the start of the tournament.. in the tight games playing a load of straight runners isn't going to work, we need someone with a bit of composure who can pick a pass and unlock a game. AL is that man. Shame there was 4-5 wasted spots in the squad but meh, as a whole, England have done well. Never want to see Young at LB again though. Ever.

Ashley Young. Why. Bottled loads of challenges and cant control the ball. His delivery better be good from corners tonight.

i was just wondering... there are so many people on here talking up Marlon, Vestergaard, Gunn... how many of them have seen them play consistently?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Brilliantly worked opening goal from Gabbiadini, assisted by Armstrong.

It just made me dislike him even more. Genuinely prefer Lawrenson and his absolute twaddle, which is at least funny (laughing with him and at him).

F()cking lol at them if true.

Is there any button on the controller which turns Danny Murphy off? Absolute dullard and for a former player, not very insightful. Oh, and a dullard. Dullard dullard dullard.

Like Reed, I think he's got something about him. He's hardly had a sustained run so it'd be interesting to see what he'd be like with a few games under his belt, not 10 minutes here or there. A better assessment of his ability level would probably to ask the teams fans who he has been on loan to.

Thanks, pleased to amuse.

He's yet to destroy McCarthy, so no story there. Just like Eric Black destroyed our entire first team eh. Forster's just cr4p, nothing more, nothing less.

He'd look great next to Hoedt then. Stick Forster in goal as well as you've got a comedy clusterf()ck not seen since the likes of Boumsong and Bramble.

Agree with Batman. Plus the absolute selflessness of Harry Kane was brilliant today. Stones and Lingard also key components. I'm even coming round to Jordan Henderson now, so much so, that I'm referring to him as 'Hendo'

I work for Howdens and if I can help in any which way I can, I will. Drop me a PM if you want

Yeah, not a big fan if I’m brutally honest.

I don’t know how many times it has to be said... he’s always been rubbish. Utterly rubbish. Difference is now he’s just utterly rubbish and he realises it himself - and is now often more exposed as he no longer has one of the leagues meanest defences and holding midfielders to protect him. Many of the games we were barely conceding a couple of shots on target. The moment we got weaker in the area and he was challenged to do something, he got exposed for how limited he is. He’s never, ever possessed the basic fundamentals of goalkeeping. It’s never been a case of loss of form or niggling injury like some of the weirdos like to point to on here - he’s always been turd. Even when he had that immense core in front of him he was fumbling and bumbling around when he had to do something. Blah blah arsenal away blah blah... yes, every once in a while a Sunday league goalkeeper has a worldie of a game... that doesn’t make him a consistently good goalkeeper by any stretch but for some on here they wistfully recall fleeting moments of reactionary saves from a couple of performances and justify in their heads that he was once a good goalkeeper. Now, normally you can make most players look good with a highlights package on YouTube. I implore you to look at his and tell me how many of those clips were good saves; probably about 40% - the rest are either routine or the ball just hits him cos he’s big. Utter waste of 100k a week.

Mate it’s just a spot of bad form. Amazing keeper.
