Rio And Linekar astonished Rashford has been left out, he’s in the form of his life apparently. He played well for 20 minutes and was crap in the first half like you say
Low block, high press, against the ball and all these endless stats. Of course the geeks lap it all up but it’s nonsense. Thankfully false 9 seems to have gone out of fashion a bit as not heard that mentioned for a while
Yep, agree with that. Going further back Gullit, Van Basten and Rijkaard at AC Milan and Brehme, Mattahius and klinsmann at Inter. The 3 Dutch v the 3 germans at rival clubs in the days when foreign players in English football was a rare thing.
