Could not disagree more about Minteh.
He works incredibly hard and is a constant danger. We don’t score the first goal against Everton without his outstanding acceleration to beat his man from a standing start and we don’t score that goal on Saturday without his ridiculous pace and strength...
And Andy Naylor has just written a story about how Evan Ferguson’s family’s postman used to see him play football in the garden when he was a young boy.
Absolutely. And if they can be a left footed centre back who's bit of a unit but relatively mobile and able to bring the ball out quite smoothly, they can be a cultured Rolls Royce. No other position can have that honour.
One of the great joys of my life as a kids football coach is being able to dish out the shirts with proper numbers on to the players, and number 8 will forever be reserved for the more attacking, advanced of the central midfielders, NOT a forward!
Sorry Wardy.
