Of course you're painting over the fact that he's trying players out to see how they perform certain roles. Folly?

It was our first preseason game, where afterwards Ange even said they'd only been working on their attacking play.

You're evidently unfamiliar with how AP sets his team's to play. When we're attacking, he wants their box overloaded. Christ, he even had his CB's attacking the box with Celtic alone.

Football is far more fluid than the rigid formations you seem to think players are only suitable for. When we're attacking, if you play in midfield you are an attacker in AP's system. We're playing a high line, so unless you're sitting level with our defenders, you're in a position to attack. You are expected to recognise the opportunity and act on it. If Skipp is in or around their penalty box, it's because he's seeing an opportunity to attack. Couldn't give a shit what his 'perceived' technical skills are, they're more than good enough to capitalise on an attacking opportunity.

So you think skipp is of the same level as Maddison who plays on the left?

No.
Eric is an excellent CB who went to the World Cup last season because of that fact.
A bunch of trolls on the internet does not change that.

Conor Coady is apparently also an excellent player (he was ahead of Dier in the pecking order btw).

Who knew! Championship player now. I guess everyone is just accidentally missing all of his brilliance.

Weren’t the Richardsons from Sarf London?
Going to school in the East End when I did , almost everyone claimed that their Dad knew Ronnie and Reggie in some capacity and that we were better off (crime-wise)when they looked after the streets.
They were almost elevated to Sainthood.

Yeah they were , we are all from North of the river , no idea why my mum was convinced they were even more violent than the Krays , but she was adamant they were

Erm, for all of about five minutes and then he got bought. Conor Coady WENT to the championship club.

Do you think we missed a trick with ol’ Conor then? Or are we just going to relent and admit the England CB situation sucks and that’s why the likes of Dier, Mings and Coady get caps?

We have needed new quality centre backs for nearly 5 years and have either got it wrong or let it slide and persevered with our mistakes . The teams they try to say are having the same trouble as us do not say , well we have bought them now it’s not working , here is a left cheap winger instead . They bite the bullet and rectify their mistakes
