AlbanyNYToffee Posted June 29, 2020 Report Share Posted June 29, 2020 Stating the obvious this game is critical for us. We're right there in the mix for 7th/8th. Palace and Burnley play today. SheffU and Spurs on Thursday. Teams right near with guaranteed points dropped. Hopefully both draws. We win this game and we're 2-3 points away from Europe. Maybe even in it even we can rely on City's ban and anyone but Arsenal winning the FA Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See John Stones, Ross Barkley, and many many others. the reason i always point it out is because the majority of english posters fall for it hook line and sinker every single time. They can't see it's the hype machine, they think John Stones will be the greatest defender in england nay the world. when he falls short they move onto the next one that the media is hyping. and then everyone acts like it's normal. it's not. Mark it’s the media not anything else and it’s not unique to football. They’ll hype anything up Royal Family, Politics, Sport, Celebrities until the next big story comes along but that’s the same worldwide. In terms of football I don’t think we (British public) get carried away more than the next country. We are in a unique situation here that we don’t have a league full of English players as we are truly multicultural, more than any other league so understandably more interest is on our ‘home grown’ talents as we want the National side to succeed. markjazzbassist and Bailey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for Evertonians. Kenny, Holgate, Davies, and DCL would have been sold by the fans. Possibly include Pickford and Keane although they were already established (guilty of wanting rid of the latter myself). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are a shambles at this moment. Pulisic is our best player, other than that it’s some 22 year olds playing in the bundesliga or MLS veterans who have never amounted to anything.

Zoo 2.0 Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Gordon getting a nod makes me really happy, now is the perfect time to be playing these youngsters in preparation for next season. He should do much better on the wing too, I think he looked a bit claustrophobic in the middle and couldn't really use his pace. Iwobi starting is good too as he was fantastic against Norwich, Sigurdsson in place of Davies gets a massive thumbs up - expect our midfield to be really deep with us attacking down the flanks as a four. Hopefully Keane can go touch-tight against Vardy, with Holgate giving him a yard - almost in a libero role. Mina coming back to the squad makes me happy, he's really underrated IMO. markjazzbassist and Sibdane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
