As a Rangers fan, we had Bassey for 2 years. He didn’t play much the first year and he came into the team the 2nd half of the season we got to the Europa league final and he came from nowhere into that team on that run and was unreal. Still very raw, but physically an absolute monster. Comfortable at left back or left sided centrehalf. He’s not the best on the ball but at our level was more than competent but maybe found out at a higher level. He got slaughtered at Ajax and made a scape goat there a bit but they were in a mess at the time. We all knew he would go to EPL and do well. Great guy as well, great to see him doing well

As a Dutch guy, I have to agree with England having the best players for the next EC. EVERY position filled with world class players at least twice! Only the center backs remains a little unsure. Quite the opposite of the Orange Lions! For the first time in history, our defenders are great, but our attacking options are a bit sad😅 Love the pod! The combination of enthusiasm, knowledge AND fun is very addictive

Great to see Bassey getting some praise!! Loved him at Gers and sad for him that it didnt work out at Ajax. I would take him back at Gers in a heart beat!

I was at the game and yes, Ben Davies held the backline together. Very underrated footballer. Not by Postecogluo though.

You will defo all remember Harry Redknapp bringing David James on, up front, for the last 15 minutes. Was it for Portsmouth? Big D took out someone with a huge challenge, t'was amazing!

As a Spurs fan I thought we’d challenge for top 4 at start of season as not in Europe - but felt it was vital we got to jan window without any issues to defence as so thin and to be so close to top with the inquires we had is crazy and def wouldn’t felt bottom half of knew about we had - we’ve only actually been out played by Everton and Brighton - other games we lost but had moments where played opposition off the park but made errors in both boxes

As a Forest fan, I totally understand and get the analyst and praise for my team. Man Utd's weakness was exploited by Forest not once but twice

Love you guys!

Cole Palmer is class and was allowed to dance around the box with my team Luton. Respect is due to him, too good to play for the Chelsea pre-Madonna's. Let's not mention again what a great comeback by Luton and that a top premier league team has only managed to beat Luton by one single goal. #fightinghatters #coyh #hatters

The thing about pep is that all of his guys will get game time. Every single player has gotten pretty good amount of time if they are healthy and available. Pep's rotations have been nearly perfect. It must be easier as a more rotational player that when you come in you don't necessarily have to put in a masterclass to win, a win if pretty much guaranteed regardless of who is starting for them

Is it me or did the resolution just improve a great deal, it looks like Micah has a glamour glow effect applied

Dunno about England being the best bit shady at the back no solid center halfs or keeper even have some good full back options but none are that solid defensively

The assumption that highly rated players should transition into management roles or even punditry more successfully than the less well known players and, therefore the latter have to work harder (as Micah said) is mainly based on other people's expectations. All these roles entail very different skills sets. This is the main reason for so many failures and disappointments.

I swear Allan is always off 😂lol

With play slowed down and how incompetent the people working var are makes sense for players to dive if touched as normally be obvious dive but var will look at it 100 times and slow or down so it’s seems like tackle far worse and give one send off player etc

Alan has gone all Maddie on us. Come back Alan we miss you 😂

guess this got released a bit later than planned

Question for the pod: Do you think football could benefit from adopting some rules that are in place in other sports? If so what would you like to see? The other day i saw players mouthing at the ref and thought "why not march them back 10 metres like rugby".. coaches wouldnt like that at all!

@blairmeikle5192

5 ай бұрын

players shouldnt be allowed to swarm the ref. not sure if thats in other sports but still. Any player that runs up to a ref in that manner should be booked like they have started doing for dissent but a lot of the refs arent good enough or brave enough.

Could be a cop out but I think teams undervalue how much midweek european games take it out of you. Arsenal were at full steam for 80% of the season last year and this year they haven't really bolstered their squad and they're in the champions league, it's not surprising they've come a little unstuck at the Christmas period. Honestly I think it's one of the best reasons we took the europe conference seriously, playing in Europe in midweek is just becoming routine for west ham now and it has had less of am impact on our weekend games so far, obviously the level of competition is nowhere near europa league or champions league but I think the routine does help.

It's very aggressive that Gary praises forest but sarcastically many times bc he doesn't like the claims of fans who are quiet right. I'm not a fan of Nottingham and I honestly don't like them, but the treatment that Forest receives from this podcast is consistent, often insulted. In this case the "STORY" is apparently that Man U played badly and Forest is just an anecdote around that, particularly on MOTD. If fans complain, they are needy and are rewarded with sarcasm. This video excerpt sums it all up,

postecoglou great things 🤣

England had 3 players out of 30 shortlisted for the Ballon D'or 2023,... Its not quite as good as we think guys,..

Gary, City do not have an enormous squad we’ve got a small squad of world class players who can play 4 positions each, we registered the second smallest amount of first team players in the prem last season. 2 keepers on the bench plus academy players most games. Our squad is amazing but we do not have a massive squad whatsoever

Players "dive" because the ref never gives a foul unless the player goes down. That's why players exaggerate contact, not because of VAR but because it's just an subconscious action they've always done. Let's not forget legends like Ronaldo, Drogba, Gerrard, Lampard and many others exaggerated contact on a weekly basis.

​@@user-zm9xf7mo4pthis is the issue with internet arguments, you read what you want to read. I never defended diving, I was responding to Gary saying players are going down more often easily because of VAR. My point was that players have always done it long before VAR existed and the argument made back then was because refs never gave fouls unless a player went down. Actual diving like Drogba against Lehmann is pathetic and should be cut out, which it is because you can now get a retrospective ban for doing it. The difference with the debate they're having is they're not debating feigning contact, they're debating exaggerating contact which is a massive difference. Feigning contact is cheating, which the Villa player didn't do. He exaggerated the contact because he was fouled.

This kid Cole Palmer really, really excites me. I only hoped that Liverpool get him as a Salah replacement. His got the build and skills to be a modern day Johan Cruyff. Which is why I was very surprised Pep sold him

Rangers sold Bassey to Ajax before he left there for Fulham.

Havertz and Odegaard in centre mid doesnt work! It makes them massively unbalanced and the double pivot is non existent and rice will struggle in there on his own. The Havertz signing seemed a bit of a panic buy! And lastly arsenal like my beloved Newcastle United need a proper no9 i hope we go in for oshimen

Oscar Bobb best player on the pitch agaisnt Newcastle... maaaaaate, Joelinton was on that pitch!!!

With current Cole Palmer and Bellingham form in attacking midfield role i think England should try 4-3-2-1 formation with 2 attacking midfielder (1 att mid of right foot and 1 att mid of left foot) and the two of them have great skills too.

Gary linker is a shameful embarrassment to a proud Englishman. From shitting on a pitch to doing MOTD in his pants.

So, all season pundits have been saying," Well, there was contact so it's a penalty," to now, when Liverpool got one (and Dubravka even admitted there's contact), "It's a dive. There's contact but it's a dive." I understand that it's soft, but we've been getting this all season from every team going, and NOW it's an issue because Jota went down when he could have put the ball into an empty net in a game they were already winning?
