Reminds me of Vivas and Grimandi with his attitude and commitment.

Any discussion of how well we are playing that does not mention Ziny is remiss imo.Quote:

We have a first-class left back in the squad imo, but I think one of the strengths of the team is that Zinchenko plays from an usual area (and we have Xhaka to drop into the space he leaves behind plus the rather under-rated Gabriel to shore up that side)Quote:

And while Xhaka has been good this season, I still wonder if we couldn't have someone better there, Ziny would be perfect for that role.
Anyway, nice problem to have.
Is it me or is MA playing Herbert Chapman's {the dead won, not the Awimb won} W-M formation? At least when we're in possession.Quote:

It's W-M.
And if, one game, ESR plays where GX does, we'd have the old skool 7-8-9-10-11 front five in exactly the right positions for the 1930s.
That's good magic to have, that is.
All this stuff about Pep and now MA reinventing the wheel with their inverted fullback. It's basically just what we were doing 90 years ago.
As you know, I think ESR could play there given we basically have TP5 and Zinny in front of the back 3. I think Fabio could be his long term replacement. I think his left foot is a wand.Quote:

His redemption story has been one of the highlights of an already amazing season. But he became a legend in my eyes when he did that the previous weekend.
It's about team balance. GX is the only hard as nails thug we have. He has to start.
Not sure about that, I wouldn't mess with Gabriel or ParteyQuote:

Not one to piss on anyone's chips, but Fat Frank has been sacked and we haven't played them yet. A bit unfair imo.
Everton are a **** show from top to bottom, will take a hell of a lot more than a new manager to sort them out. I really think they're going downQuote:
