I don't mind any of that if they actually had something interesting and informative to say. For example Butch Harmon hasn't played the Masters but I still respect his views on it! They just need to do more testing with the ex-players before shoving them on TV in my opinion. Just because someone played the game at a decent level doesn't mean they know all there is to know and it definitely doesn't mean they'll be great at articulating. (Goes for women and men equally.)
Yes I agree some of the male ones are shocking.
Hartson has already proven himself to be an idiot, again. He just said maybe Ziyech didn't fancy the volley because it was on his left foot. Hasn't even done the most basic research of a player who played for Chelsea and most people know is left-footed.
I suspect he is just trying to get through his job by relying heavily on cliches. Someone should document how many of his statements are cliches, and how many rely on specific research on the team / players he is commentating onHartson has already proven himself to be an idiot, again.

I expect you're right. Easiest job in the world. It really annoys me that they get the gig based on the assumption that because they've played the game they know all about it. The games I've heard him on it genuinely sounds like he hasn't watched any football in at least 5 years.
In fairness boots are not what they were, they're exceptionally thin material. Studs on the top of your foot certainly does hurt. I personally have a completely black toenail since a good six months ago because of that.
No protection at all.

I guessed deemed more nipping the ball away rather than a pass back. Same outcome but not necessarily deliberate. It could have been given though.
He is the nearest thing they have to a number 9 though ?. I was listening to the first 20 minutes of the second half on the radio driving home and they were desperate for Morata to come on to offer a threat. That says something about the players who started upfront ?.
I always think he looks awful.
