This Weekend's Fixtures & Midweek Fixture (21/22/23/25/26/27 Feb)

So question, I don’t think it applies to anyone here

Why does anyone rate Alexander Arnold? Real Madrid want him. But he can’t defend, he’s not a good passer of the ball and at 26 he will have peaked in terms of pace.

I don’t get it

Hoiked ball up front for players to run on to. Transition FC Madrid Edition will love it there.

Don't and never have rated him as a defender. But he's a decent winger and that's mostly where he's made his reputation with the pundits who drive the hype storms. The other guy on the other side is a much better defender, Robertson is it? You know who I mean.

Fucker stayed on his feet after being fouled. I like that! Haven't seen it in a while.

He’s not a great winger either. He’s got the pace to beat his man, and he’s ok at dead balls but that’s it

[Niall_Quinn]

That question about Trent also raises an even more urgent question.

Foden.

Discuss.

[Niall_Quinn]

Marmoush scores but offside. Lazy really, but good finish. He's another one who was impossible to sign in January.

He crosses a good ball and that in itself marks him out as a rare commodity in TBLITWtbfTM.

I mean that’s not untrue, is it diabolical how crossing seems to be a skill that no one possesses anymore.

I suppose if more players actually practiced what should be a rudimentary ability, he’d be nowhere

[Niall_Quinn]

You know you could be right. It does look like these modern players can't play simple passes under the slightest pressure.
