Kevin was a proper footballer,no nonsense,good skipper with decent skills. Another great show
-
Southgate must know that the majority of fans & media want to see Foden at 10, Bellingham next to Rice as an 8 and then have pace down the left with Gordon. Saka & Kane can remain where they are and eventually Luke Shaw can come back in at left back. That is the ideal starting lineup. As players start to get tired in the second half, you can bring on people like Palmer for Foden, Eze for Gordon, Bowen for Saka, Wharton/Mainoo for Rice/Bellingham and even Trent for Walker. Not to mention Watkins for Kane when he gets too tired to run in behind. How hard is that to do??
-
Great guest/episode. The mutual respect there is so evident and a beautiful thing to see. Kevin spoke so well and came across a top, top lad.

Great Podcast
-
Foden, Bellingham, Saka have had great club seasons but how much has it helped that they've been playing with exceptional players around them ?
-
what kind of person plays a RB in CM, a RB who can spray passes, dictate play and create things and then summon the whole team to play at a very slow pace, let the opposition get back into positions etc. gareth needs to go yesterday.
-
What's the point of that big board if noone can read what's on it?
-
It’s Gordon on the left. Should have been there from game 1
-
He’s right about the ‘new words’ like ‘low block’. All bollocks!
-
Allardyce was genius at getting the very best out of fairly average players. Tactically he just used common sense and played players in their best positions and made sure they did their job, nothing special, just do your job and give it 100%. It's exactly the opposite of what Southgate does. Southgate turns stars into average players and then plays them out of position. BUT just compare their managerial credentials. Southgate managed for just 3 seasons, relegated Middlesbrough, then got sacked. That's Southgate's CV before the FA came knocking at his door. Someone explain why the FA thought he was the man.
