All three players are clearly good enough to play regularly for top/most Premier League sides. They’ve all played well for England in the past, and all play positions where there is a general dearth of English talent at the high levels. Neither of them are going to be foundational players for...

Ah yes, the same West Ham that wanted to pay £30 million for Maguire - if that had gone through, would he have suddenly become a must-pick in your eyes?

The idea that Ward-Prowse can come in and play the holding midfield role that Henderson and Phillips are being selected to play seems fanciful at best.

The captain of the Premier League's worst team last season should retire from international football if he doesn't get picked for every England squad? "I've never known a manager to pick players that are consistently not playing" - does that include 2009/10 when Ferdinand was a fixture in the...

Putting aside the ridiculous criticism of his early performances (he's been fine for us so far), I do feel a bit sorry for him - he presumably came in thinking he was going to be the main man, the marquee signing, and the centrepiece of our attack. A few weeks later we signed a more expensive...

Not sure why this thread continues to conflate being taught about atrocities and apologising for them, but since you mention it there have indeed been several modern-day apologies for Viking raids and the Spanish inquisition from Scandinavian/Spanish/Catholic officials.

Again - who is calling for an apology?

Who said anything about apologising for it?

The smile on his face lets me know that he needs me

Thought Bidwell was uncharacteristically sloppy yesterday, I don’t think he’s fit yet.

I agree, MvE was our best defender yesterday

Middlesbrough have got off to a poor start and Carrick will be under pressure soon if it doesn’t change.

He can play in midfield?!!

Many on here were clapping like seals for Mike Ashley to take over the club last year

I like Ward-Prowse a lot and would want him in the England squad, but let’s not pretend he can come in as a like-for-like replacement for Henderson.

If a striker misses a penalty in a game that we don’t go on to win then they can expect to get stick for it - it’s hardly the most egregious criticism our players have got

Given the number of assists and goals that each player has actually scored in their time here, the comparison is borderline offensive at this point

Ayari has real talent, it’s just a case of whether he adapts to take on more defensive duties, or whether we adjust the rest of the midfield accordingly MVE and DaSilva are going to be crucial to how we get on this season. Sakamoto at RWB seems like a solution in search of a question at the...

MVE isn’t Dutch?

It’s “van eh-wick” (rhymes with Eric)
