What profile of player would work? What does Moyes want from a striker? Is it just Dom but add in the ability to finish? A finisher, we're passing our way up the pitch into wide areas much more and I think someone who has great movement over 5 yards, can make quick runs round corners and in the cha...

Re: Jordan Pickford

He's world class. Tbf to Dixon, its something we've considered, why hasn't a CL team come in for him. ("CL club" probably would have been a better choice of phrase than "big club"). In answer I would say as he is so animated, that likely puts managers off. They probably have a qu...

https://x.com/XibaaruM/status/1978198166349447556 Shades of Maradona '86. He's a bit special. Seems to have a bit more of a free role for Sengal based on recent highlights. Might be a slightly lower standard than the prem, but he seems to play with a freedomg to express himself that you only get gl...

Always thought Paul Gerrard was under appreciated, nice to see him getting a bit of love.

Re: Jordan Pickford

I was thinking, far better to be under appreciated while you are playing anyway, keeps that fire in your belly, rather than being lauded beyond what you have ever actually achieved. I think in time Pickford will be seen as not only one of the best keepers to wear the England shirt but one of the key...

Re: Jordan Pickford

Its just odd isnt it, on par with the England would be better if they dropped Kane brigade.

And if Tuchel cares about niche performance stats in early October, he'd have picked Grealish who has the league's most assists.

Re: Jordan Pickford

Given opinions will be formed based on vague memories of England penalty shootouts and match of the day highlights, then filtered through partisan club based bias, I'd say the comments are generally supportive overall.
