This 20 second sub rule is bullshit by the way. Should only do it if it’s obvious that they’re wasting time. Obviously Palace aren’t when they’re 3-1 down
As much as we’d like a midfield of more technical players, you just can’t drop Rice & Jude. Therefore, the only way forward is a Klopp type gegenpressing team. We need a better 6 & wide players but it’s the only way to get the best out of Rice, Jude & Kane, plus gets Trent in.
@Fredtildien@Gio_north Of course! Goes without saying but at the heart of the empire they called Britain the motherland & all the money made from the resources the empire took went “home.” So there’s no wonder everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie. You simply follow the money!
@Chelsearory Spot on! He picked a team to work in transition without any quality in wide areas or pace up top. As much as Jude is a big game player & loves the big moments, building a midfield around him & Rice will never allow us to play football. But the problem is you can’t drop either…
Our obsession picking athleticism over technique in midfield has cost us once again. We cant run games of football with the profile of midfielder we have & im throwing Jude in this too. We’re a transition team without quality in the wide areas or pace up top. Makes no sense!
🚧 “The two midfielders [Rice and Anderson] are limited!”
😲 “I think [Rice] might be a centre half!”
Graeme Souness believes England’s midfield pairing are not as good as people make out…

What Messi has proven with this Argentina team over the past 4 years is that he doesn’t need to be surrounded by world class players to be successful like many suggested. All he needs is the ball at his feet. Simply incredible!
