He was a key part of the Bologna team last year that had the 3rd best defence in all of Serie A. No chance he does that being a terrible player, more like the system here is much much worse

The same thing happens in business, where somebody will be promoted into a managerial position because they are good at the job (in this case this would be playing football) BUT the skill of managing is a completely different beast and there is no guarantee being good at a job translates at all to management. Being able to relate to the players is one thing but you don’t have needed to have played extensively at the highest level to understand that I don’t believe. First and foremost the candidate should be the best MANAGER of people, players, and tactics of which I don’t believe any of the recent English top professionals are at all despite their great careers. The manager doesn’t need to run around and kick a ball

I’ve only seen the fans of Forest & Swansea have good things to say - that’s always the best barometer of a manager in my eyes

So one footed it actually hurts to watch at times

Those mentioning that we would lose to Australia playing a ‘traditional approach’. We haven’t lost a home Ashes series in 20+ years, why does the wheel need re-designing to such an extent and why would we be guaranteed to lose by playing on green tops to suit our swing kings ?

If they need Crawley in the team so much could we do worse than Foakes in for Pope?

Imagine having your greatest striker in your club’s entire history, in form after scoring in the last 2 games, and in one of most important relegation games as an option, but instead you let your flair player who’s leaving the club at the end of the season take it instead

Need to make changes for balance, Praet for Ndidi, possibly Soumare now he has the yellow

This commentator is such a bloody whiner

Roberto Martinez being linked with the Portugal job 😂 Man is such a fraud would be unreal if he lands that (good for everyone else though)

He’s always like this though, looks good on first sight but doesn’t have end product so he doesn’t actually get the job done

Looking for 2 tickets if anyone could help Dad over from Australia for the festive period and would love to get him to a game

Has to take a pen though surely? Can’t be waiting in case there’s a 5th purely for glory

Neymar not taking a penalty is an absolute joke. Captain and best player should be #1 to build confidence. They missed the first pen and could never recover, and he sits on the sidelines crying but never taking one…

You lucky man
