Whilst I was anti Ferguson being called up for international duty so soon after coming back, knowing how pedestrian England friendlies are, it’s probably not a bad game for him to play in.
But he was always more likely to pick up ankle injuries because of his age, build and playing too much as he wasn’t fully developed, that’s the point. Yes ankle accident injuries can happen to anyone but he was always more likely to suffer from them and because of those factors, his recovery...
It’s so annoying - he played too much high level intense football too young, as I kept saying at the time. Especially with his build, ankle injuries were always going to happen.
Hopefully comes back fully fit and firing and not before he’s fully ready.
He’s clearly suffering from a massive dip in confidence and form but the kid’s got talent and will improve. This sort of season is highly predictable for a young striker but there’s no doubt he’s a bit of a liability on the pitch at the moment and I’d like to see him have a break away from the...
For £150m you THINK we would do business?!
Tony will have lost his marbles if he DIDN'T do business at that level. If £100m was offered we'd have to take it. He's nowhere near that level of player yet.
And this is why we have to limit his minutes. I’ve said before, with his size he will pick up ankle and knee injuries while his body is developing and we have to manage that really carefully.
That's a very simplistic and unfair view of Welbeck, he contributes to our overall game massively. There is no way you can say that playoing Ferguson more guarantees 15 more points.
We're managing Ferguson perfectly. He is a massive unit, seems to have got bigger over the summer (I mean muscle...
Did he take them for the under 23’s? Can’t remember.
Pedro was Watford’s penalty taker so probably first choice next season with Mac Allister’s likely departure?
That first goal screamed Alan Shearer. He did exactly what Shearer and other top strikers like him say to do - hit it hard and on target. You give yourself a massive chance of scoring that way.
Compare it to Mac Alister’s recent misses where he’s tried to place them all in the corner and...
I don’t think I’ve ever been more confident about the ball ending up in the back of the next than when Mitoma rolled that ball to him for his second. A superstar!
Disagree. Not sure how much you’ve watched Welbeck but you’re under rating him. Whilst Ferguson has greater potential, Welbeck is currently a better overall player and offers more to the team overall. Read RDZ’s comments after the Brentford game.
Both players are being managed perfectly at the...
Fair play Ireland, they are working so hard!
Our boy is going to be shattered, might be a game for Welbeck to start this Saturday.
On another note, I didn’t appreciate until tonight quite how irritating it was hearing an American say Kylian Mbappe so often.
I actually used the Connolly and Ferguson comparison tonight to explain to my youngest son why he needs to improve his attitude after a less than brilliant parents evening report! I usually find it easiest to explain things to him through football!
