When u buy a top class defender. (Hyam) it makes a big difference. Why Mowbray never invested in a good centre half is beyond me. He did have ayala for a couple of seasons. We now have a plethora of quality centrebacks. Hyam ayala Wharton Carter. Build from the back. Thats definitely Been the big difference this season compared to last season

Hey Mowbray this is how u manage a good set of players

Vale gone up in my estimation today

Why did Diaz shoot from a ridiculous distance. Keep the ball

This ref is losing the fucking plot

Pickering has had a very solid game

Markanday should be on not vale

Ridiculous that Travis stays on when he offers nothing

Why take Adam Wharton off when he's controlling midfield

Sammi is having a good game

If we don't win this it will be a poor result

Gallagher should have scored. It was a tame effort.

Hyam Wharton have been our best players first half. Morton has looked very good too.

He got the ball for me

Hyam hardly ever puts a foot wrong

What a pass

France won the 98 World Cup with a pretty average keeper in barthez

Adam Wharton has to start. We look a different team with him in there

Remember mclaren dropping Beckham to assert his authority. He recalled him after things went pair shaped

Remember the abuse Ashley ward got. He was a real trier but lacked any fundamental qualities as a striker. He was similar to Gallagher. Though Gallagher is a better striker.

Get stoned then watch the stoning

The same Germany who were atrocious at the back against us? They've been as bad as we have lately. Neither England or Germany will win it

I don't think Brazil or Argentinas squad are all that. Yes they are both playing well but that's Down to team chemistry. France have by far the best squad followed by England Brazil Argentina Portugal etc. Brazils fullback options are poor. Their forward options aren't particularly great. Argentina don't possess Any outstanding players apart from messi

I think klopp will step down in the summer. His summer recruitment has been average to say the least. The Uruguyan hasn't stepped up. His only other signing the young lad from Fulham. Midfield is very average without fabinho. Henderson isn't up to it anymore. Elliot has great potential but can't be expected to carry central midfield. Thiago is having huge injury problems. I'm sure they will go in for Bellingham In the summer but if they fail to qualify for the champions league they've no chance

How have villa managed to pull off appointing emery? Fantastic appointment for them that
