Iwobi :bow:
He's better coming from deeper positions. He's more an Iniesta/Hleb than the goalscoring, athlete ball winger that people expect because he's black. Playing on the right is probably his worst position, but he's looked like the only competent Nigerian player so far.
I was typing this just before he scored and was also going to agree with you that he should be more decisive and aggressive when he gets into dangerous positions.
The Emery Effect already. :bow:
Sterling booked for diving!
How can this be, he doesn't cheat we were told?
Diving in a friendly :haha:
They can't bring themselves to say he's dived. Talking about initiating contact and going down to easily.
Pathetic from Sterling.
Hope some of these serial England cheats (basically the whole XI) get what they deserve from competent refs at the World Cup.
Moses parts the crowd like...etc.
Mikel and Moses pubbing it up in quick succession.
The Hleb comparisons are good though obviously no where near as influential as he was yet let alone someone like Iniesta. He doesn't dominate the game like they do - more he does a few neat touches, swivels, passes and that's that - there's no linkage or product to it all.
I suppose some of it is me projecting the type of player I feel we really need in that position (a pacy, skillful wide player with end product) than what he actually is which isn't his fault.
At any rate I don't think a player with his characteristics should be played in a wide position for us just to shoehorn him in - it has to be in the centre and we've already got a few similar better players there (Xhaka, Elneny).
