Interesting article on the Beeb. Apparently we're the squad most in transition at the moment, and have the most potential, according to a funky graphic. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48473708

That graphic has used the word 'Prospect' to describe Iheanacho and Diabate. That's all I need to see to dismiss it out of hand.

You’ll all be laughing on the other side of your faces when Diabate scores a screamer on his debut for Charlton.

"Prospect", not "Good prospect"...

I wonder whether FIFA will let him wear them?

Super Strong Sophie: James Maddison football boots honour cancer girl

Midfielder James Maddison was "best friends" with five-year-old Sophie Taylor, who died of cancer.

its a UEFA competition and there is no political message about them so cannot see why UEFA would stop him

This is as good a place as any to put this.

After months of moaning about Puel playing 2 holding players with Mendy and NDidi I’m now seeing a few people on social media that were moaning asking to see Hamza start with Wilf so back to 2 defensive midfielders and the genuinely don’t see the hypocrisy

Your post is selective. Horses for courses I believe is the saying.

Playing two holding midfielders (for instance) against Southampton at home is unwarranted but perhaps at Liverpool away?

In addition, when Rodgers played Choudhury in midfield, it wasn't alongside Ndidi. He was pushed further forward in a 'jack russell' role. He could not have been described as a holding midfielder then.

There was an enormous difference between how Rodgers set up his midfield and how Puel did.

Imagine thinking formation was the main objection to Puelball.

I never said it was but these were people who focussed on that, obviously against Man City or Liverpool you’d play but but against anyone else you don’t need both and it’s too negative and winds up with Maddison on the wing meaning we lose width

Why the bollock are you bringing up Puel again? Just consign it to the file marked 'shit I need to forget' along with the Superscout's list, Joe Fox's betting system and our smashing Office Depot shirts.

it was more about the idiots in our fan base that spent months saying if we only played 1 DM (most weeks) we'd be so much better suddenly saying they want 2 DMs again just because Hamza was playing the England U21s

How does Leicester City use positional playing concepts to play their football, after appointing Brendan Rodgers as their manager?

Answer: Whilst Wolves ultimately finished up the best of the rest, Leicester City was the side which particularly caught my attention at the back end of last season. A midfield trio of James Maddison, Wilfred Ndidi and Youri Tielemans (all 22) was one of the most precocious with in Europe and alt...

Described like an NFL playbook. I did not realise footballers generally had enough of a brain to understand positional play beyond 'lump it up to the big guy'!

Very interesting but, in honesty, it might as well have been in Chinese for me. I got the gist (I think) but a lot of it was straight over my head. Football-tech jargon that I don't really understand.
