'Is Bazball Dead?,

[Jiminey Mullet @MoonerSports3]

Rushford just isn't good enough dribbling to receive the ball stationary. Get him running at retreating defenders and chasing thru balls. Exploit his strengths!!

is josh King generational lol??? looks a lovely lil player everything I see him #MUNFUL

@damzy_chillin Steve mcman

@Lionel_Lingard alonso got a lot of hype for his Leverkusen stuff - but I was always sceptical how those tactics/formations would fare when he got one of the top jobs

[Jiminey Mullet @MoonerSports3]

what do Brighton, Villa and Brentford do different to warrant the kind of continually good appointments and players - the amount of money they generate while still being competitive is mind boggling

[Jiminey Mullet @MoonerSports3]

@GunnerPuls Nice work

[Jiminey Mullet @MoonerSports3]

is Kudus the best mid money inter Prem attacker purchase? Similar prices: Mount, Solanke, Mbeumo, Cunha, Gyokeres ?

[Jiminey Mullet @MoonerSports3]

Tonali is a good player but will never run you a game. But is he as good as Rice to warrant that price tag? Is he influential enough? In fairness he is a great cog - good in on the ball, athletic etc

[Jiminey Mullet @MoonerSports3]

@UTDKobi Carlos Baleba coming good

[Jiminey Mullet @MoonerSports3]

@cagiago_ Good lad

[Jiminey Mullet @MoonerSports3]

why does @footballontnt seem hell bent on ruining their best games with a football podcast masquerading as commentary - shut up lads!! let the game speak for itself

[Jiminey Mullet @MoonerSports3]

Jackson has an air of Darwin Nunez about him. Great runs, causes chaos - but too often than not lacks that final product.
If anyone can develop him it's Emery.
That Manzambi kid looks good too

[Jiminey Mullet @MoonerSports3]

Spurs go look like they have done some good business. Van Hecke great on the ball. Fernando's looks mint. Architecture Grey is exciting prospect. Savio and Marmoush look dangerous

[Jiminey Mullet @MoonerSports3]

can Darren Fletcher and Ally Coist stop nattering thru the fucking game. Worst combo in the game atm #TOTAV

[Jiminey Mullet @MoonerSports3]

Solanke plays football on his heels - wakey wakey buddy

[Jiminey Mullet @MoonerSports3]

players like Rashford got the big number and the big contract too fast and either hit his ceiling too fast, or got distracted and overawed by it all

[Jiminey Mullet @MoonerSports3]

JJ Gabriel needs to relax man - at 15 anything can happen - the best 15 yo is not necessarily the best 25 yo - even into 20s anything can happen - look at likes of Foden and Grealish lately - don't wanna hear about anyone until they 17 - and then be content with a bit part - learn ur trade

[Jiminey Mullet @MoonerSports3]

look at Kobbie now - a few months on the bench and out of favour hasn't harmed his development - and likely was highly motivating too - with modern science many players can hope to playing deep into 30s fricking relax guys

[Jiminey Mullet @MoonerSports3]

there is so much to learn from boys to men's football - - Junior foot is about skill and speed - senior adds tactical and game awareness - all Prem footballers were probably the quickest and most skillful in their academy team too you know? - it takes getting used to for most

[Jiminey Mullet @MoonerSports3]

all this noise just pumps up the pressure on the kid too - still 6-7 years of developmemt to get right - might get short term cash going nuclear like this - but in the long run builds a narrative that few plays have managed to fulfil

[Jiminey Mullet @MoonerSports3]

what is the rush these days with young players? Being good at 15-16 is different to 17-19, and both of these are a huge step down from 21-24, where we start to find out if the youngster can earn his stripes.
football is a mqn's game. And the top levels are so much more tactical etc
Being able to rinse it up in U18s is not the same as being able to do it against Prem standard opposition.
No longer are you the quickest, strongest or most intelligent player on the pitch.
JJ Gabriel needs to chill out and earn his stripes. For every young talent success story you can name 10 who withered into obscurity.
Putting to much strain on young growing bodies can also limit careers at the other end too
