James Maddison

[Monstar-Gunn4r]

I mean, he's not exactly wrong. I'd argue that Foden and Grealish are both better as left wingers too. Foden might potentially end up central but they don't understand tempo yet.

Neither Mount or Maddison are creative enough to be top attacking mids imo, not from open play.

Did Mount not just win the champions league playing as an attacking midfielder?

That doesn't mean anything. Unless he can transition to a deeper role, I predict it won't be long before Chelsea fans start picking starting 11s without him in.

The whole reason we didn't win the Euros was we had nobody in central midfield who could dictate, pass between the lines, keep the ball.

Winning a champions league means nothing about the quality of the player when they played a pivotial role in that win and the way there? We'll have to disagree I guess.

Read back his original post, he lined up centre of the pitch as anything in midfield, he said England are fine everywhere else. I agree that England lack a Veratti etc. in central midfield but to say the entire nation of England only has full backs and dribblers and no footballing brain other than Phil Foden is fairly laughable.

We could have had a midfield like this. It’s very said we have missed out on Buendia.

Damsgaard (Hleb)
Saka
Pepe
Aouar (Nasri)
ESR (Rosicky)
Buendia (Cazorla)
Partey (Flamini)

After we fixed our midfield. All we need is to get our van persie and sanchez.

No balance to it at all. We are in a new era of football.

Not trusting another weirdo ITK on twitter, but just out of curiosity is it Maddison AND Aouar on that statement ?

exactly...you have to have a xhaka/neves type. Slow turtles in midfield is the way to go. Jesse Lingard is coming home coming home coming home

 

[Football Manager]

Are you going to start saying Gerrard and Lampard werent technical players again as well?

Saka has played brilliantly in midfield and im not getting in to an argument with you about who is what level.

You said "they still lack talented players who can play in the centre of the pitch, or a midfield mastero with a football brain."

So are you saying that about Saka and ESR or is the backtracking or goalpost moving going to begin? Or are you saying the above Esr and Saka?

The only midfield mastero England had was Scholes, that’s it. The only skillful player England had was Joe Cole, that’s it.

Nowadays they have many skillful wide players. Anomalies like Foden and ESR are also signs of improvement in the central area.

CM/AM are areas that really defines how a country understands football. And it is very hard to correct the flaws in your DNA, it’s not easy, and might take generations.

No balance to it at all. We are in a new era of football.

Which is positional play. Players occupying different space at different times instead of the old concept of position. So the balance comes more from the system, less from the players.

We won't get both.

CAM - Maddison/Aouar & ESR
LW - Saka ESR Martinelli Auba

You have answered yourself.

England lack a “veratti” as you have mentioned (actually you lack a xavi).
You can’t find one, out of a population of how many? That’s the problem.

It’s not about that level of player. It’s about that style of player. Sometimes it’s not ability, it’s the stubbornness that you refuse to teach your young kids to play that way, you really proud of your hoof ball, that you refuse to improve your flawed DNA.

Like Id say you're trolling but surely nobody would spend this much time doing it

Find me an England player back then who can do these:
Give me a name
@Monstar-Gunn4r
0:06-0:27, 1:00-1:10....1:36-1:38, 2:16-2:21
Name me an England player who could do that.

 

[Monstar-Gunn4r]

Wait a second youre not trolling? You actually think Joe Cole was England's most skilful player...

 

[Football Manager]

A name, and prove.

Joe Cole was not the most skillful player in England back then. He was the only skillful player in England.

 

[samshere]

We won't get both.

CAM - Maddison/Aouar & ESR
LW - Saka ESR Martinelli Auba
RW - Pepe Saka

I mean I rate Saka, but I think even he would struggle to play two positions at the same time.

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

Obviously he plays in one or the other. The point is, we have enough options that we won't be signing 2 attacking players.

Make Arsenal Brexit again!!!

Dont PM me its fkin weird and stalkery.

Off the top of my head Scholes, Lampard, Gerrard, Hargreaves, Rooney, Owen, Beckham. Sure he had some cameos with Chelsea but that was about it.

You obviously are either trolling or dont have a clue and watch some highlight videos, youll actually be the first person on my ignore list and that takes quite some doing.

I said skillful players. Are any of the players you stated are skillful? Giggs is what I can think of but he doesn’t play for England, does he?

No one from your list could do stuff like this.
