Modern footballers. Completely incapable of doing anything beyond basic sideways passing.
And they’re all worth 100 million apparently.
Michael Owen’s words become truer every year.
@jamesleachpoet@AcademyScoop Yes and I can promise you any team that sits back like Ghana just did we will oppose minimal threat to them, we may beat them, but it will be difficult, none of our starters were willing to put there foot on the ball and take a risk.
@R6Astroo Rice makes me want to bang my head into the wall, this guy is considered a ball carrier to just turn around and pass backwards. So overrated because he runs a lot.
Well he wouldn't treat the ball like it owed him money for one, get on the turn, move the ball up the pitch, keep possession and link the play..
Real simple really, you fuckin clown.
@AdamMcKola The way this Rice Anderson partnership is forced is literally beyond me the 1st real test to show how good they are together they both play fucking shocking and negative football, so bad that the England fans with a brain our begging for a 21 year old to change the game.
@KhalidA24493289@exfootballfan It's not about Mainoo you dumbass, it's the fact sideways passes and overrated set pieces will not win you a fucking world cup. Dumbass Arsenal fan
Really pleased Mainoo is staying on the bench.
Much better to keep watching midfielders pass sideways and pretend we’ve got control.
Brilliant stuff from Thomas Tuchel.
I seriously cannot be the only one who thinks Rice and Anderson are the most overated midfield pairing at this world cup, neither of them can punch a pass through its just sideways constantly.
