Match Day Thread 2017/18 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Easy to get more caps than a guy who played 1 away international friendly (Vs Brazil in London) in a 20 year career though.

 

Yeah Henderson just turns up. Thats it really.

Most of all though on quality
.its a sad state when adam lallana is the single guy england.might call creative in their ranks.

 

Maybe that's why he kept collecting medals in his late 30's. Horrenderson will burn brighter for a shorter time then.

 

Lallana creative, in what sense? Goals and assists?

 

Good for him, I'm glad his lack of commitment worked out well for him.

 

Are there only two ways in which a player can be creative then?

 

It was my question, how do you define creative..? A nice touch, flick, simple pass , 40yard defence splitter or assists?

 

No need to be so specific, is there? A creative player is one who helps to make things happen going forward, as opposed to someone in there purely to break down the opposition's moves.
Of course the lines are blurred between the two, but Lallana's role is more a builder than a destroyer, therefore labelling him a creative player seems reasonable.
How good he is at it is a different debate.

 

God this is a boring period with no football happening this weekend

 

Belarus v Netherlands might be worth a watch later on, the Dutch are under real pressure and look like they will miss out on qualification

 

I agree, he was s more creative than distuctive. The best we have at the moment, that's a different discussion-I personally like him. Full of energy and work to back up what he offers going forward.

 

Neither. He can do a cruyff turn on the sideline to run away from goal

Seriously there's nobody else. English clubs import creativity like mkhitaryan, coutinho, Silva and so forth

 

Sounds like 'Elbows' Fellaini has sustained some sort of ligament injury.........also Kante has done his hamstring

 

i feel for them.

i really do....does this mean for once we have not got the arse end of the internationals?

 

I guess you will only know that on Thursday night.

 

Suppose...

 

Yup.
Bit too early to tell. We usually come back with at least one player out for the next 4 months as a result.

 

Fellaini apparently has had a "knock". If it is not a hamstring injury Mourinho will definitely play him even if it means he could out for many future matches. This match will be too important for Jose not to risk everything he's got.

 

Even if he is out, would we want Herrera instead of Fellaini? He would present less of a threat at set pieces but he is probably more versatile
.

 

Far better player.

Utd will be classic Mourinho.

If Herrera comes in he would man Mark coutinho solely.
