The Footie Thread

If No:9 drops deeper it is usually to create space in behind for others to exploit.

Unfortunately unless Sterling made that move England didn't take that opportunity.

Neither Rice nor Philips are that sort of player and Grealish and Mount seemed content to keep out of the box.

Got to wonder why Southgate hasn't sorted it out. It happens match after match so why aren't the coaches fixing it?

Agreed. I still thought Levandowski was the most classy player on the pitch.

Certainly agree with that.

I know it sounds ridiculous but apart from the goal Kane was sadly ineffective by comparison.

Villa are thread bare this weekend after the International break... and we play Chelsea.... Greeaaaatttttt

So, who has put Ronaldo in their fantasy football team?

Playing for Utd, he is not going in mine . I have a strict code, usually leaves me near the bottom but I sleep easily at nights

No, I've gone for Kane, since he's back and scoring regularly already. No guarantee Ronaldo will start the next game. Also you've got those two or Lukaku to choose from anyway, so I feel I will rotate between the three of them as and when across the season.

Ive taken the Bruno and Salah in midfield approach with Vardy up top!

Bruno and Ronaldo don’t play well together at all for Portugal. If they don’t find a way to work, it could be tough times ahead for Bruno.

Bruno will start every game though, Ronaldo wont! They'll rest him as the season progresses

Hopefully daily training will help them. They'll need to discuss this amongst themselves though, I do not see Ole being the one to gel them together tactically.

Oh hello no, Ole won’t have a clue. Ole looks in awe of Ronaldo. Ferguson, for example, was in awe of no one. Not even Busby, IMO, though he was the closest.

Interesting this year. Many years, every team needs to have one or 2 players. But, with Salah, Ronaldo, Bruno, Lukaku, Kane, DeBruyne (when fit again) it'll make for interesting selections. Not to mention your Vardy's, Son's and Sterlings just below that level (although I can see Sterling being on the bench a lot)

I typically go for a lot of Liverpool players. I want them to lose, so I'm happy if they do. If they do not, it is a consolation that their players may get me fantasy points. However, I've risked putting Ronaldo, Bruno and Greenwood attack and praying Utd score goals

I very much doubt Ole would be brave enough to rest Ronaldo. Ronaldo will be demanding to play as often as possible, to add to his career goal tally. And Ole has a habit of running players to exhaustion anyway

Yes I have always thought he would look good in a Liverpool shirt.

I can't bring myself to have any utd or liverpool players. Salah and Fernandes have hurt me badly, along with a select few others ?. Still can't do it though ?.

Fair play to you, you have covered both angles ?

 

[Lord Tyrion]

He would score a lot of goals in your team, a real finisher.

Yes he would .
But Phil will be along soon to tell me Klopp dosnt play like that.
But I think he should. It’s the one thing we are missing imo.

I wonder at his age would he fancy three years here. I hope so.
Wonderful footballer.

You create so many chances, don't convert anywhere near as many as you should. Someone like him would fill his boots. There aren't that many pure strikers anymore but Lewandowski is one of them.

Haha, as a Newcastle fan I have the opposite approach. I regularly bet against them, win win in my eyes. But to be fair my bets come in more often than them winning.
