He played really well at Villa. Anyone that thinks he won't be good at Barcelona, having better players around him, are deluded. The way you guys, Flick, likes to play, he'll cook if he gets the chance.

He absolutely terrified PSG at Villa Park. He's always been a purple patch player. He will look like a world beater for an amount of time and then can often look bang average for a period. Really depends a lot where this head is at. He's wasted the last few years of his career by staying at such...

He needed to move for his own sake a few years ago. At his best he's their best player by a distance after Fernandes.

Excellent player on his day and when he's confident. Can only think he will excel with the players Barca have around him when he does play.

Well you play to your strengths. England keep the ball better now than they ever have done. But they will never be Spain, Portugal or Brazil. What the squad has in abundance is pace and athleticism, so it makes senses to play as a side that likes to transition quickly, and counter attack. In the...

Speaking as an England fan, I think we would miss his pace too much. If Kane starts then you need to have speed either side of him. Though Palmer is deceivingly quick when running with the ball to be fair.

Problem is, he's much better playing off the right, which is where Saka has always done so well for England. Palmer is more naturally talented than Saka, but Saka is too good to bench as long as he's in form. While Palmer can obviously play in the middle as a 10, teams can always just pack the...

He is right now but I think Foden at his best is also right up there. I know he just had a poor season on the back of winning the Premier League player of the year award. Pep has turned him into a system player. When the team is fully functioning he's outstanding. But when it's not, as it wasn't...

No idea who that is or what point you're trying to make. I only mentioned that game because if Villa have enough chances to beat you, then it shouldn't be that much of a surprise to see Chelsea put 3 past them.

What separates Palmer from some other great English players is that he shows up in the biggest games. He hasn't been anywhere near to his best this year due to off field issues but still often has moments of brilliance. He reminds me of Ribery a fair bit in some ways. (and not just because he's...

You're right. And PSG losing this game doesn't lessen them as a team. But I've seen some people online say that they're the best team ever, which is ridiculous. They've got a long way to go before they enter that sort of conversation. People wrote Chelsea off for this final but I saw enough...

PSG are a very good team but they've been glazed so much. I mean Aston Villa should have knocked them out of the CL and they didn't even make the top 6 in the Premier League last season. They battered PSG at Villa Park and Rashford had them on toast.

He literally scored against Inter. He also converted one of his two penalties against France, and the one he missed is the last time he hasn't converted a penalty. You're talking utter rot. Also, any time you play a big team in a knockout game, it's clearly a big game. And who's skillset does he...

Kane has scored against Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG, Inter Milan, Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea etc. In Germany he has scored against Dortmund and Leverkusen who are Bayern's biggest rivals. Are they not considered big games? For England, he has goals against France, Germany...

Conveniently missing out the important games, that they have made 2 finals, a semi and a quarter in the last 4 tournaments. And that was with Southgate in charge. When they played Senegal in the last World Cup England won 3-0. Who the hell cares about a friendly result at the end of a long season? 😂

Kane is the best and most complete number 9 in the world. It wasn't that long ago a lot of Barcelona fans wanted Lewandowski gone ffs 😂 And 6 months ago Cole Palmer would have been in the top 10, form wise, 100%.

How pathetic. England has some of the best players in the world. Cope better.

If you make 2 finals and a semi under Southgate you've got every chance. England didn't get out of 3rd gear in the last Euros yet still spluttered along to the final. They're among 5 or 6 teams that can win a World Cup (not next year) or the Euros.

You're not winning a thing when you're starting Doku and Savinho. They're Crystal Palace level players. Not to mention the likes of Ederson and Dias are finished at the top level.

He won't be with the players long enough to fall out with any of them. He was also brought in to make the in-game changes that Southgate was unable to make when things weren't going England's way in the finals they made. He's already shown he can do that at Chelsea. Southgate had lots of...
