General Football 19/20

Clrnc

Yeah they are definitely not wishlist material for me at all currently, although their performances are impressive enough. DCL is a grafter and Watkins hasn't hit full potential, thought he would be doing better honestly.

There's a lack of good strikers out there thats a sure thing and attainable for us, wished we could keep Balogun.

Probably because they've both had much better seasons than Laca and Auba, especially the latter

Laca is the most underrated striker in the league

They've had good seasons by their standards and for their level. Our two have had poor/average seasons by their standards, but their standards are much higher.

The difference between Auba and Watkins is that the former needs to score to be useful.

I don't want those guys either for what it's worth. Auba is clearly better than them, just not this season.

goon

Watkins doesn't need to score to be useful for Villa, it wouldn't be useful for us.

QuincyAbeyie

So you're saying that if Watkins doesn't score he wouldn't do anything more for us than Auba does in the matches he doesn't score. I don't see that at all, but okay.

Wow. Turkey are really surprising me here against Norway. Two well taken goal. Norway have more of the ball but it is 2-0 to the Crescent Stars

Clrnc

Didn't realise Berg is still playing for Norway after those exploits in Euros u21 decades ago

QuincyAbeyie

What exploits were those? Anyway "still" playing is pushing it, he actually made his debut in 2021. Seems like the new manager is fond of him. 😆

Klaus

I think Clrnc is confusing him with Marcus Berg in the Swedish team.

Clrnc

Ah yes. Got confused.

This Turkish team is really impressive. Can't believe someone as good as Yilmaz spent most of his life playing in crap leagues

Laca has had a pretty normal season by his standards.

Guess now Zidane might understand why he’s no longer involved with the French National team.

Robbie keane level. Auba was 1/2 that good for the first half of the season. But as soon as he pulls his socks up the goals rocket in you can tell by his effort level in general play how likely his is to score. Auba against west ham just watched chambers getting absolutely murdered for 10 minutes and wouldn't help. Just stood hands on hips. Then got back on the left and you could tell he wasn't in it.

Leandro Trossard has looked really good for Belgium.

If he can produce consistently, he will certainly make a move to bigger club.

banduan

Good player, Trossard. Will definitely be moving up.

KingslandBarge

Stones hype train after 2 months; starts and commits egregious error, Poland score. Maguire the lads on tour squad leader hapless through the last calendar year starting as well. Fuck this fucking squad and manager. Fully on track for another heroic exit in the summer, Kane didn't lay it to Sterling moment.

KingslandBarge

Tierney grabbing a handful assists, as LCB I think

Claudius

Why do both Tierney and the Liverpool boy need to play against Faroe Islands?

Jed

Should sign a striker with aerial threat this summer. With Tierney’s devilish crosses, that’s cash money.

Its sad that Giroud and Tierney didn't over lap.
