He is dominating International games at 18 in Centre mid. Not sure i recall anyone ever doing that in my lifetime?

surprised to learn gascoigne debut was at 21

enjoy the hideous lift music of times gone by:

Anyone welcome to the ABE party. Gonna be glorious.

Love the bantz with the home nations, and I can understand apathy from some English Utd fans, but ABE is on a par with ABU small mindedness to me.

Be above it.

It’s largely performative, like Scousers and their “socialism”

If England win the euros it would increase the chances of both Southgate and Maguire being here next season

State of that £#%&!er Van Dijk pointing at the keeper as though he’s somehow at fault.

You watch him and every time they conceded he either throws his arms up in the air or starts remonstrating with one of his team mates. Never takes any responsibility. Great leader my %@#$&!s, he’s a shit haired overrated @#%&! who loses his marbles whenever it comes on top.

Has the ability to be whatever he wants to be.

Could well go down in history with the Anthony Le Tallec classic

The player you want to have on the ball, if we are playing out from the back needs to be in front of the back four. Fantastic vision and control.

He’s very passive. That Sancho goal against them last season sums him up: no urgency, arms behind his back. Milner went nuts at him.

He has those stats where nobody dribbles past him…because he never commits himself. Watch him on Antony’s goal in the cup game. He’s all over the place, but because he didn’t directly engage anyone, it’s not as noticeable

Rating this lad is a good litmus test as to whether you're an idiot or not.

You can guess which fanbase doesn't rate him

There’s clues with truly great players and talents. His goal yesterday and at Wolves were both excellent goals in terms of execution, but it was real ‘picture in his head’ stuff too: he knows exactly what he’s going to do. He doesn’t look up. He doesn’t need to. The movement into the space, the touch and the choice of shot are all one step ahead.

He’s a diamond. It’s quite clear.

Troy Deeney (I know) actually made a good point on MOTD too. He said he’ll get as United get better. Right now, he’s doing more chasing than he should because we’re so chaotic, so come 80 mins, he’s starting to tire. Once we learn to keep the ball better, he’ll become even more important.
