Haha and dolberg, Van Der beek, ziyech , schone, onana. None of these would get near our team.


Decent team but the sum much better than the individual parts.

I'm not sure that Veltman's better than their right back at the time. As good, probably.

I also think that you haven't misunderstood anything, and would agree that it's one of the better things written about us, so thanks for posting. I quite like the 'wild Pep' metaphor.
