Bit beefy in here tonight.

Is this a good time to say that I think Tielemens is a good player but is a poor man’s Maddison?

They're a bit different ... but Tielemans has made some cracking passes this season for sure ... still only 23, prone to the odd stray one ... but there is a reason that he's a regular starter in that very talented Belgium side <cheers>

It's because they are boring as hell to watch but are getting results.

They were utter crap against us, we weren't even half decent. A massive trend this season as we are so poorly coached.

There's so few points in it between sides, one win and teams blast up the table.

For sure ... but so was Mahrez ... and some of our fans actually wanted him dropped for Albrighton at times ... because Albrighton always puts in a shift and would come back to help Danny Simpson more <doh>
Give it 6 months and there’ll be no doubt be Evertonians whining about James not being an auxiliary RB.

To win things you need game changers, players that sometimes do **** all for 80 minutes but can change a game in the blink of an eye ... yes you also need the hod carriers, which reminds me... RIP Nobby lad ... the engine room behind the Bobby Charlton First Class express <rose> <ale> <applause>

Agreed. At the top level what sets the best from the rest is those moments of pure quality that the very best players can deliver.

I’m too young to remember him as a player tbh, but always came across as a good egg on the few occasions I’ve heard him talk about the game.

Zidane was like that, some people forget he often vanished in games, suddenly he'd pop up and do something just mind blowing.

I still think Didier Drogba is one of the best our leagues seen for that. He just loved a big occasion to show off and win something, special talent. At the end of the day the guy who scores in all the finals is better than the guy who scores a hattrick against Stoke.
