    When people talk about B2Bs these days I think they mostly mean midfield all-rounders - it’s a bit of a legacy term that’s stuck around from the days of midfield specialists, probably because the profile of player is much the same, but yeah it’s not strictly accurate any more. You don’t tend to see a lot of actual box-to-box running these days because the game has swung back to squeezing space in the middle again and there’s no real need for it - it’s more about controlled, intense bursts over short distances now.
    And I don't really argue with people, man. I make a point of never engaging with idiots too. There's no point.

    So, if I do decide to correct something you've said, then take it as a compliment, mate.

    The MF we need is a positionally aware player who arrives in the right place at the right time, defensively and late into the opposition box. He’s the dude who makes it look like we have 11 outfield players because he only commits when he needs to and is always anticipating.

    The closest we have to that is Partey…but he can lack the dicipline at times. We always struggle when you have a player like Son who plays between the lines, because you don’t have someone prepared to keep him under wraps. It’s our weak spot. They’re always the players that arrive in our box to convert the cutback or cross without any bastard in his grill
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    So what you’re saying is you don’t talk to yourself ?
