    They’re the ones who play the most games at the highest level at the greatest intensity throughout the season. They’re understandably running on fumes after playing game after game in multiple competitions domestically, in Europe and internationally throughout an increasingly never ending season.

    Meanwhile the nations who are mostly made up of players from lesser leagues or players who don’t play regularly for their club sides have been comparatively fresher.

    There’s just far too many games and too many competitions and the higher up you play, the more relentless and intense it probably is.

      The gaps in between the mids and front line are not helping their forwards or midfielders conserve energy and they regularly spend large periods of games sitting back deep without the ball, again making it more tiring for them.

      If they played to dominate teams with field position and possession and added more pace to their forward line, they’d play faster.
      There is no style of play, they are more a group of talented individuals than a team
      The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

        But they still do not look like individuals that are used to playing at a higher tempo and at a higher level of quality.


        If the Premier League is as physical as it gets made out to be, then players coming from it should look stronger, faster and be capable of reacting quicker when they come up against players who have been moulded in the supposed less physical leagues.


        Now I know I am being a tad disingenuous and more than a little one eyed in saying the above, as there are of course a lot of other factors that come into play, but there are little grains of truth in there too.
        I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

          Thought he was quiet against England for the main part and therein is the issue for me. His game is suited more to international style whereby it's slower than over here. I dount he's going anywhere soon, so hopefully he proves himself a right handful and makes himself undroppable.

            I thought Firmino has a slow start too. Gakpo needs a role in the team, and I dont think we have found it yet

                Would you sell Cody Gakpo if we could buy Alexander Isak?

                    No, Isak would be a good replacement for Nunez if he ended up leaving though.

                        One has 8 goals this season and is rarely injured and one has 6 goals and is injured all the time.

                        Tough one.

                          Gakpo is fast becoming one of the fan's favourites. There's nothing not to love about him

                              Don't want anymore wafer thin biscuit players. Gakpo is not as talented as Isak but is plenty talented enough. And is always available like Mo and Diaz.

                                Not for me tbh. I don't really think he'd be an upgrade on Darwin and is unlikely to have the same level of availability throughout a season.
                                It's easy to distract fat people. It's a piece of cake.
