Didn’t say we had three whose stats are better ?‍♂️

As I said in the tactics the manager employs our main midfield will be Fabinho , Henderson and Thiago - that’s the first choice three , he doesn’t set up for the “number 10” - That Fernandes plays as .

lol if you pick any of those 3 let alone all 3 ahead of him, good to see the blinkers are back before the seasons even started. you could offer all 3 of them to united for fernandes and theyd turn you down and with good reason!

That’s fine - and yes I would pick all three over Fernandes with the way that Klopp has his midfield set up , it’s a more industrious midfield in the way they play . I’ll take a Kante or KDB though if they are going
 
To be fair I wouldn't have Bruno in our team either, but only because he's a moaning see you next Tuesday and I hate his face, nothing to do with his football ability. :LOL:

Agreed. I thought Herrera was the most annoying player in the league, but it turned out there's an endless supply of them...
I doubt many people give our lot much thought (irons), but i wonder if any of our players are similarly despised? Not sure any of them particularly deserve it.

As a Spurs fan I feel well-placed to answer this. :p But no, I think maybe Noble is the only one I dislike because he is the quintessential Hammer obviously. Possibly Rice would be irritating, but as he's become a mainstay of the England team already I let him off. Antonio seems a bit arrogant sometimes, for a guy who injured 60% of the time. But that's clutching at straws.

While glancing at your squad I see Antonio has just been given number 9 now. I guess that's confirmation you're not buying a striker? Ha. Rice is still number 41, lol. I quite like it when first teamers keep their high numbers. Like how Ledley was always 26 for us.

I think having Nobes on the list kinda proves my point. In a way it reflects badly on us, as I think the most successful teams are full of unpleasant scrotes tactically fouling their way through the 90 mins and buying cheap non-free kicks and pens.
C'est la vie .
And yes, our lack of any forward cover for a player who misses at least 10 games a season is a tad worrying.

You won’t like Grealish playing for City then.

Fernandhino is the city player who winds me up.
I'm ambivalent on Grealish. I remember watching him vs Fulham a few years ago in the championship. He was getting a ton of stick from the villa fans iirc but kept going and scored a wonderful goal. It's hard to dislike someone who's dragged himself up with a pretty average team.
I think on balance I find constant tactical fouling more egregious than buying free kicks, but obviously both are profoundly depressing.

What I find annoying is we can all see the tactical fouls especially Fernandinho ( other teams have them) so why can’t the referee.
He gets away with so many , others get booked after two.

Grealish holds the ball to long for me ,dosnt play his mates in when he should that’s why he gets so many fouls .
He draws players into stupid tackles.
But I would have him any day. He’s a rare player these days , someone who will take his man on and back himself to beat them.

Has really annoyed me Antonio being number 9

He used to be a winger. All this he is a striker rubbish ...he misses far too many ,, he is a ball dozer but not an out and out striker

Plus he been with us ages .. 30 suited him

Just for crying out loud...

It's amazing how many players are "not that type of player". Every club usually has one or two that will be defended by their own fans as "not that type of player" but if the blinkers were taken off are actually exactly that type of player.

If you have to say 'they aren't that type of player' then the chances are that is exactly what they are. Son has left his mark, literally, on a few players. He is very much that type.
