Why do you leave out Rice? It's been two years of you calling Rice WC but you conspicuously leave him out here. Is he no longer the greatest #6 #8 #6 #8 midfielder that's ever lived?

Rice is obviously international level (someone who plays for a title challenging PL side every week and every CL game FFS) but you mention more than one of their players and you get gooner allegations.

The reality is, our entire side is ‘international level’ bar a handful lmao. Almost all to a man play a large number of games for CL level sides minimum. The CL isn’t a lower standard than national football.

I'm more interested in the WC aspect of Rice's game...I was a little loose with my quoting...I wanted the bit where you said Palmer and Bellendham were WC...my bad...

here it is...
Palmer is allowed a bad international game. The other week he scored four in a game. I don’t need to wait because like with Bellingham world class is just obvious sometimes. Those two are golden, top tier talents who any country would kill to have.
You'll have to forgive, I picked the wrong cheerleading post...but in Rice's instance you've left him out the intl level (which you've just rectified) but also the WC level.

And is it "obvious"? Did you watch last night? THAT is Bellendham...ALL THE TIME. He truly is Dele 2.0 man. That's the level of his performances for RM and England. Getting bailed out by scoring a jammy goal (nicely taken though) doesn't improve his performance in the main.
 
Uh it’s statistics from two seasons.

Nobody ever thought Mount was ever close to Palmer. Completely different level of footballer hitting completely different numbers.

Yes statistics never lie, now do the players who have scored more and disappeared. Start with Dele, and yes of course your right nobody hyped Mount or claimex he was a great as palmer is...and yes ...sometime you can just tell....

Don’t go fucking with people’s WC parameters T.

Cunt move.

I’m also interested where Grealish has gone? He was also on the Deuterz Deuterz best in world Pep loves him long time roster not so long ago?

We need to clarify the Deuterz Deuterz richter scale of footballing classification, is it:

1. Best in World
2. Wankhorn class
3. World class
4. International class
5. Johnny foreigner class

. Total fucking groupie. Full Cynthia plaster caster, can only hopelessly delude myself about one thing in my life thank fuck, and Spurs have filled all that available space. And the canonisation of Bellingham is just crazy....he isn't Zidane yet people.

I'm just trying to best understand Deuterz Deuterz criteria...not re-define it. Seems to be young English player is WC immediately when they do something notable and until it becomes empirically clear to all and sundry they are not...sort of like academy player, 1st team goal, WC, drop bollock after bollock in big games, down to international class. But that 's my understanding at this moment...I could be wrong.

YES...indeed we are on the same wavelength here.

I must have missed Mason Mount scoring 20+ and assisting 10+ in the league, or carrying Chelsea single handed .. sorry.

People may have hyped Mount. He was a good player. He was never in Palmers weight class talent wise (few are tbh).

I know you were one of those saying ‘see if palmer does it this season) (spoiler: 4 goals in a match, so yes) but it may be time to just admit he’s insanely good and move on.

I don’t give a shjt what you (a yank who despises English footballers more than anything else) or a Scot (who despises English footballers more than anything else) think about English footballers.. does that help?

Bellingham is starring for England and Madrid. He’s fine. I doubt he cares that some American (can’t beat New Zealand) thinks about his frankly insane talent.

We could produce a new R9 and you’d throw cold water on it because English. You hate England. Which is weird for someone who follows England more closely than any of the England fans on here.

Nations league game where we experimented, mate. It’s more important to you than it is me. In the real tournaments we tend to reach finals lately. Which you know .. disappointing and all, but you’ve got to be good to do it. Your lot can’t get out a group.

JEEEEZ...why so hostile, D? Just asking a few questions so I can better understand things.

He's "starring" for RM just like Mbappe is "starring" for RM...worst start to the season in a pretty long time my man. JB has 1 assist on the season and pretty much nothing otherwise of note. Wouldn't say anonymous so far but if this performance continues the questions will be asked around xmas I think.

So this is why I'm asking about Rice...you're suggesting bias on my part but I'm suggesting that I was correct in my call on said player. And even though I'm repeatedly correct on these players you keep asserting bias every subsequent time.

Hell, sometimes we don't even make the tournament. Luckily it's at ours next so we'll be there!

Bellingham has been good for Real Madrid this season. It’s called being versatile and playing much deeper. Performances have been well received.

You’re repeatedly incorrect. The players you shit on consistently go on to bigger clubs and to be doing bigger things. They consistently succeed.

Thanks for informing me that which I warned you about last season. And the rest is BS...he's not catching heat because Mbappe (another joker) has been shit. If Mbappe were scoring but their season was the same then JB would be taking heat...I've watched a few of those games and he's a non-factor.

You’re repeatedly incorrect.
Oh yeah? When and where? Saka, another you called WC...Rice?...TAA?...Foden the system player that shouldn't be starting over Palmer where you told me I was wrong? Kane? Let me know...

The players you shit on consistently go on to bigger clubs and to be doing bigger things.
yeah? Who? TAA might go to RM but everyone now knows what he is...especially in MF FFS!

They consistently succeed.
as cogs in the works...fair play to them.
 
I thought Bellingham did pretty well yesterday all things considered. As well as his goal, he also put one on a plate for Palmer with a lovely bit of play, who skied it. Not everything for him came off and I still think at times he holds on to the ball for too long, but he's still learning the game. Some people talk about him as if he's someone in his peak. He's 5, 6 or 7 years away from that.

The biggest issue yesterday was the lack of balance in the team and also shoe horning players into the team just to get all the big names starting. Rice is now a box to box midfielder, he should never be left to play as an anchor midfielder alone. I still think Rashford is currently the best option to play from the left. Regardless of his United form, he's always been dangerous in an England shirt. Gordon has plenty of potential but still has a way to go yet.

I mean Saka has an assist in every PL game so far .. the fact you list him shows how little you know. As far as I know Trent has been one of Liverpools best players .. Rice is a bit off but has been fine.

Cogs in the works .. yep. They’re one of the best players for their respective clubs each.

Pretty sure Kane’s numbers this season speak for themselves too. Foden again off .. but don’t worry, we have plenty of quality in that area.

Anyway, how’s the US team shaping up?
