Intelligence and sporting intelligence are unrelated in my experienceApart from Kane, Alderweireld, and Lloris this seems like a collection of downright morons. Even if you leave the question of technical ability aside the vast majority of our players seem incapable of making the most basic of decisions.
I'm not saying we need a team of geniuses, but our players really do seem a bit thick.

Your experience as PL manager / player?Intelligence and sporting intelligence are unrelated in my experience
I went to school with Danny Thomas, and his brother Valmore, neither of whom were the brightest bulb in the chandelier, ditto a guy called Noel, who played for Sheffield United for a short timeYour experience as PL manager / player?
No one is afraid of you here, Mick - sorry to tell yaI went to school with Danny Thomas, and his brother Valmore, neither of whom were the brightest bulb in the chandelier, ditto a guy called Noel, who played for Sheffield United for a short time
My comment had nothing to do with management
it was an observation about the relative intelligence of people playing the game, which is what the thread is about.
I'm on subject - you however are just trolling me, because that's all there is in your life. Pissing people off in the knowledge that you are 7,000 miles away and hiding behind your keyboard
I have absolutely no idea what you are on about, and frankly - I couldn't care less.No one is afraid of you here, Mick - sorry to tell ya
You keep implying if you knew me - you want meet up for a fist fight. Please don’t make me laugh and have a word with yourself please. Is just the Internet - even for a 75 year oldI have absolutely no idea what you are on about, and frankly - I couldn't care less.
And winks..he's always got this look with his eyebrows up like he is thinking something. Guys an idiot.The irony is that Dier and Aurier are possibly two of the more intelligent people in the playing squad (Dier speaks about 3 or 4 languages doesn't he?) Whilst Aurier wears glasses off the field, so by virtue of that fact alone means he MUST be bright!!
Yet both are consistently 2 of the stupidest footballers in our squad!!
Go figure???
That’s because he is quite the opposite of footballing stupid.... a lot of South American footballers have this intuition as to just how far they can push gamesmanship. Lamela is a paragon of this .So many lists here about players that are dumb and players that need to be sold. Y'all left out Lamela! Shame on you for such an oversight.
