I Built Libero. It scores football predictions on being correct with the right amount of confidence. Lover and long-time sufferer of Middlesbrough FC

@Boro Kim presumably feels that as Cardiff will come and play they’ll be space in behind to exploit. Gone for mobility but it’s a massive call to drop Lankshear

[Peter Swallow @pseter93]

@CBSSportsGolazo Obviously there’s a huge difference in quality, but it feels like something of a cheat code having a player in your team who just scores goals. Can spend 80 minutes on the periphery of a game but you walk away with 3 points

I am begging for one normal day in football. Just one…

I promise, you are not prepared for the first paragraph of this Real Madrid statement

@Boomin9F @TouchlineX He is not haha

[Peter Swallow @pseter93]

@sven_n27 @TouchlineX Couldn’t agree more, it’s not his problem

[Peter Swallow @pseter93]

Depends how you define it. If we’re judging on ability, Rooney is only one who’s possibly better. If we’re talking impact for England, I think he’s already best of the modern era. Combine the two and it’s hard to argue against him, and with Jude, I think England win a major trophy.

@KLovesbooks1 @TheAthleticFC @Dan_Sheldon_ Dreadful. Suppose FIFA is the shining example of the saying “absolute power corrupts absolutely”

[Peter Swallow @pseter93]

@FabrizioRomano @jfelixdiaz @diarioas Best midfielder in the world. Unique profile who can do literally everything on the pitch to an elite level. Phenomenal talent and may well go down as the best English player ever

[Peter Swallow @pseter93]

Lucky for him, embarrassing moments like this never go viral…

[Men in Blazers @MenInBlazers]

This penalty has to be seen to be believed 😳

[Peter Swallow @pseter93]

@ChelseaFC Such a shame, the most complete right back England have and if his injury record was better, it wouldn’t even be a debate as to who would be first choice

[Peter Swallow @pseter93]

@TouchlineX Such a great example of the psychological role in elite sport. Bodo players believe they can beat anyone, it’s been proven by results and it just scales from there. Most impressively their success isn’t just confined to playing at home

[Peter Swallow @pseter93]

@TheFLZone So early to say anything with more than a tiny bit of confidence. Just be there or there abouts in March and anything can happen

[Peter Swallow @pseter93]

Closest thing to Haaland that England have, and I’ve never understood the Kane comparisons (beyond being Tottenham).

What makes Kane unique is his playmaking, something Lankshear doesn’t possess, but he shares the crucial factor that makes Haaland so dangerous. They can live on the periphery of a game, barely touch the ball and yet, score when they do. Tiny fraction of strikers have that instinct, he’s one of them.

[OptaJoe @OptaJoe]

10 - This season across all competitions, Middlesbrough’s Will Lankshear has struck 10 goals in total - one of only two players to hit double figures for a side across England’s top four tiers, alongside Manchester City’s Erling Haaland (also 10).

Marksman. #OptaOnEFL

@talkSPORT If people are offended by what Lisandro Martinez said, just wait until Conte gets in the room…

[Peter Swallow @pseter93]

@TouchlineX Really don’t like this opinion. In any other business if an employee spoke out about policies and structures that are making his job difficult, he wouldn’t be told to ‘shut your mouth’

This idea that you can only be critical if you’re without fault is so stupid

[Peter Swallow @pseter93]

@JPercyTelegraph Watford the epitome of the term ‘a fish rots from the head down’. Can’t run anything like that expect results

[Peter Swallow @pseter93]

@footballontnt Maresca not at the level to compete with Enrique, never mind the incredible side he’s assembled with PSG. Absolute domination
