Not quite 40 years [emoji2]. Don’t agree at all re standard. What is different is the diet, fitness, surfaces, balls and kit. I would be very interested to see how today’s players would cope with uneven bounces, muddy surfaces, a more physical game. You need very good technique to cope with...

But could today’s players cope with a more physical game on poor pitches, arguably they have better touch, because they rarely receive a bad bounce. Of course all very hypothetical. I think Foster in his prime 81/82, was at least as good as Dunk, culminating in a World Cup appearance...

Whoa! Too early to say. I would still think the Mullery team that first year in Div 1, would give this team a very close game. Foster and Suddaby, with Lawrenson in midfield with Horton and Ward and Ray Clarke up front, Stevens/Gregory, Williams, Sully and Ryan is formidable in its own right...

On that basis you EXPECT your goalie to claim everything in the 6 yard box too. But it’s just too simplistic a view [emoji2] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It really wasn’t, because he was effectively taken out the game by the quality. Football, (as I know that you know), isn’t simply a game of it’s airborne therefore the CB should win it. Apologies for being rude, but if you can’t see that then the discussion is pointless. Sent from my iPhone...

Yes it was a great cross. It was frustrating because he did well in the first few games..... I would start Locadia against Leicester. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree re the closing down and unfortunately March, again proved (to me at least) why he is not currently good enough. He looks all at sea and has looks void of confidence. As you say, Mata had ample time. However, I don’t think Dunk was flat footed, otherwise he wouldn’t have taken off barely...

Disagree completely on the first goal. It was a brilliant cross, Dunk was in an awful stick or twist position. If he goes tight on Lukaku, Lukaku nips inside and scores, everyone is ‘Dunk was asleep’. The fact is the cross was so good, it took Dunk out of the game. Presumably in ‘83 when...

Yes, and it draws players out of position.
