If Walker or Waghorn go out on loan it will be to free up budget, not because Tavares is better than them

Of course, but how many reasonable agents do we know? They'd definitely be asking the question. 😆 Completely agree on your point just think there's a better solution. There has been a directive to officials to clamp down on time wasting this season so we'll see what happens. Might take a few...

Because it creates more problems than it solves imo. If I was a player's agent, first thing I'd be doing is demanding my client gets a 33% pay rise if we're expecting him to play an extra 35mins or so every game. It can be managed properly without this but it rarely is. If we look back at...

All fair points but I don't have too much issue with a lot of it, it's part of the game. All that should happen is the time is added on but it almost never is. If we're going to look at stopping the clock every time the ball goes out you're looking at extending matches by over 30 minutes & all...

Just enforce the laws we have rather than invent new ones.

No chance. Now again when circumstances dictate as per Sunday but can't ever really see us starting that way.

The very foundations on which SBT is built 😁

Fair enough, just shows how differently people can see a game, especially when it's the club they're invested in involved & the tinted specs take over!

He wasn't at his best. As @SlowerThanPlatt says, Whoscored is great but the algorithm they use to convert stats to their rating system is iffy at best.

Not sure where he's got that from, it's the absolute opposite of how any Russell Martin team plays: 76% Possession - 1st in the Championship 89% Pass Accuracy - 1st in the Championship 90% Short Passes - 1st in the Championship 7% Long Passes - Fewest in the Championship 3% Crosses Rotherham...

Old hairy hands at it again... Now taking credit for the growth of women's football. https://richardajkeys.com/index.php/blog/331-lionesses-you-ve-changed-everything

Example #684368 as to why Assists is a bollocks stat 😁

Exactly, she's doing the opposite of what she's trying to achieve. Euro 2020 Final was only allowed 75% capacity too. Notice she doesn't compare TV audiences...

This is just silly & undoing a lot of the goodwill

Maybe, the idea of Tavares there when he has to take instructions on where to be when playing his 'natural' position is interesting though to say the least!

I was debating whether that or Tavares as the 10 like others have suggested was the most outlandish.

Yeah, seen a few people say that whilst simultaneously lauding Hyam's passing & was a little surprised by it: Panzo - 86 passes, 85% Accuracy Hyam - 64 passes, 80% Accuracy Panzo completed more passes than anyone in the match.

Superb, well done England

I think Eccles could make a very good WB in time but he looks lost there at the moment for sure, needs a lot more time in that role. Burroughs might be a better bet at the moment.

Got to be happy with a point having been poor for so long. Train all pre-season to play a certain way then scuppered on the eve of the match isn't ideal so credit where it's due for scrapping a result.
