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.
No, they had a period in the 90s when they signed some great players and did well but not as well supported and slightly less successful. Although not a lot in it.
There is that of course and Rome is an amazing city but Roma have never been one of the big hitters in Italy, despite being a huge club. 3 Serie A titles in their history, a European cup final which they lost against Liverpool in their own stadium with their European trophy being the noddy conference league which they won last year. Always been a long way behind Juventus and the Milan clubs success wise. Not many players would turn down a move to Real Madrid.
