First , thanks for a decent riposte
Second it's not just size but physicality
Islanders are very strong
Ask anyone Shia been tackled by a Fijian Tongan or Samoan
Fulton is not in any way strong
As is obvious

He might well be what we need

Now get that striker in


In my opinion our best midfielder of the last 20 years Leon Britton shows that skill, mobility and awareness often outstrips physicality.

First of all , he wasn't a waif but a tough little player
He also had support from more physical players
He was exceptional and we've seen his like since
I'm driving back today and hopefully back to watch us beat the Blades via the wonders of my vpn

Poll: Christmas. Enjoyable or not

Not true. Our promotion midfield was Britton, Allen and Dobbie. With Dyer and Sinclair either side.

Have you got our midfield being powder puff waifs stuck in your head?

Yalcouye has been compared to Kante and Franco is more aggressive and abrasive than any of the above.

Depends what your definition of our "promotion midfield" is.

For the bulk of the first half of that season our midfield was mostly Allen, Gower and Pratley. Britton wasn't even at the club until January (his return is arguably when Pratley started losing his place in the side) and Dobbie wasn't a midfield regular at all until the Spring.

We were certainly a better side with Allen, Britton and Dobbie as the central three though. If we'd played the Dobster at #10 from the start of the season I maintain that we'd probably have gone up automatically.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Ok, change ‘promotion midfield’ to ‘the best midfield Rodgers felt he had available the season we got promoted’

Point really is that you don’t need a midfield full of giants to compete.

How the hell did Leon make a living out of the game ?
