In the Modern game FB's are such an important position. Vyner has the defensive ability, but not enough going forward. Probably the exact opposite of Dasilva on the other side who is good going forward, but defensively a bit weaker than Vyner. To get that perfect balance is rare. Baker is not a FB, nor Kalas. They should only be used in specific games, like Cardiff when NP wanted to match their height. The FB position for city this year is certainly interesting.

Yes you are. You offer nothing constructive, nor do you seem to understand the constraints he has to work with. Its far too early to make knee jerk reactions. Who is going to do a better job and is currently available?

"Pearson is a managerial dinosaur" - what a load of gibberish. He is 58 ffs, and managed in the PL and championship. What exactly is dinosaur about him? You are having a 'mare here Bas im afraid

Frank Lampard ??

I promised myself a while ago id stay off the forum the 24 hours after a poor performance / bad result and i should have listened to myself. Sack him, sack him, sack him. It wont get us anywhere else, in fact i reckon if you got rid of Pearson now we would collapse completely. Keep the faith

That second half was shyte. No excuses for that Massengo still on an upward curve ?

That eases the pain a bit ?

always the pedant. Bless

Metallica at half time. If this run carries on longer it’ll be Megadeath

Piss poor again. I want to believe but it’s total shite

Having a real battle for the title is better for the sport, and I like Verstappen as a driver. He is very aggressive. My only issue at the weekend was his attitude after the crash. Not checking LH was OK after driving over his car was shocking

For balance let’s not forget he is young. Nothing wrong with being a bit cocky and he is a fantastic driver. Karen Horner needs to have a look at himself though - needs to be a better mentor to Max but he just want the title no matter what it seems. He is just doing his job today I suppose defending Max, but the incident was 70:30 his fault. Just own it and apologise.

3 place grid penalty for Max says it all. I lost respect for him today, not necessarily because of the incident but his attitude. He must have known he had been on top of Hamilton’s car and did not ask if he was ok. Radio message was basically “**** you” and he just walked off. Nasty little shit

Thanks for that. Wonder what the odds are of getting picked?

I see a few of them around and about but they are close to extinct. As I was driving around town the other day my son saw a youngun in a Tesco bag and shouted out “I’m Neymaaaaaarr”. Poor fewer boy looked confused as **** but I pissed myself. I love my son

Actually Winviz had India favourites over England this morning but with the draw favourite. Additionally in regard to Roots captaincy - Given the flakey so and so’s in his team I don’t blame him for being conservative. Harsh to be hard on him

That is a great post, and i agree with all of it. I do wonder where Test match cricket will be in 10 years. There are significant shortcomings in the England team, but India were really good today. Bumrah is world class and you have to say Kohli captained and managed things well. As for the Ashes - absolutely battered

From what ive seen of the dismissals, not many players are getting their bats on those Bumrah yorkers. Fantastic bowling. Ali's dismissal was pathetic tbf

Wtf ? 6 down ? I’ve been on a zoom call the last 45 mins - ******* hell

At least Root will score runs. Malan was getting bogged down.

lucky. what a fail

Pitch is turning though. Ashwin must be going out of his mind

Decent start by England. Pitch is flat. Sun out tomorrow. No Ashwin (wtf). Can they do it?

Be thankful you can go to a gig as it wasn’t that long ago, during lockdown that we were told Meet is murder

I hope Ali and Robinson get a bollocking. Robinson's dismissal was pathetic - total rush to the head.
