New team, new league, plonked in the middle of Shaw, Maguire, Fred, The Scottish Player, Maguire and De Gea.

Poor bastard.

You #@&%! you’d get bullied all day long.

Marlo, a pro of any height will bully most non professionals. You have to be unbelievably solid to make it to the top level.

You won’t want to hear this but Dan James would put you in the stands with a tackle.

I meant at similar level. like as if I was playing against a player at my level for is that much smaller that me.

p.s. I've played with some of the best players in the world and was competent. theres video footage.

You played in goal and people pelted balls at you - not really the same thing.

that’s more accurate but then again, it depends on the player. Cannavaro didn’t struggle with many for instance.

If you’re genuinely competent versus the worlds best, you should be playing in league 1 or something.

Being ‘competent’ around professionals having a bit of 5 a side in the summer break means absolutely £#%&! all tbh.

The Scottish Player is the dogs %@#$&!s in training

well yes to depends if they were treating it as a stroll or pressing each other to even 50% of what they would in training.

I’ve been pressed by lads just a couple leagues above me (them being decent semi pro) and it’s incredible how much the ball turns into a hot potato in this instance. Out my depth.

Warren Slaney, the most feared man in the British prison system over the last 30 years, is 5ft 8, Marlo.

As someone who has served time (albeit in a South American jail), I would expect you to know of him, and the fact its not the size of the dog in the fight...

Have you ever heard of Roberto Ayala? Google him.

that was after I got injured. before that I was playing in at the back. staying touch tight with big rom. he pinned me a few times but sometimes I nipped in nicked the ball and brought it forward kinda like rio Ferdinand.

yeah but thats different though.

its like for example, drogba.
if you were drogba and you were coming up against a 5ft 8/9 cb, you know he is not gonna be able to rough you up. unless he was built like Wilfred bony etc.

I don't think that #@&%! would even look that good at goals.

some players just have a quality thats shines in any condition though like amad. nothing special at prem level from what we have seen but I can imagine him taking the piss in a 5 a side.

And Lukaku

Marlo has grown on me. Great value. An active Marlo is a good thing

Wasn't this the game?

Assuming you were in goal when this was filmed...

Erm, are you talking about the player whose first touch usually goes out for a throw in? My mum could nip in and take the ball forward whilst he's wondering where it went and she's 82 ffs.

Marlo comparing himself to Rio though
