Heaton over Rui :icon_lol:

Ok, that's as far as I'm going with that waste of bandwidth.

The Villa goalkeeper has more saves to his name, more punches, more catches and more clearances over the campaign so far

Er yes, because their defence and overall system is nowhere near as solid as ours.

 

[lemonjelly]

That was my exact response! :icon_lol:

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Utter and complete bollocks. McGinn and Grealish wouldn't get in our midfield.

The plank has deliberately picked a formation to try and get some Villa players in.

Of their entire squad I might, at a push, consider Mings.

Guilbert against Doherty is fucking lunacy.

 

[Alan]

Fuck sake, Jonny is NOT a right sided player!

 

[Boozad]

Don't talk to me again.

 

[Boozad]

Fuck sake, Jonny is NOT a right sided player!

Yes he is.

 

[Alan]

Yes he is.

He is right footed. He is not right sided.

 

[PuntsWolf]

FFS Alan

 

[Boozad]

He is right footed. He is not right sided.

Obviously didn't go back far enough on your Transfermarkt search.

 

[Boozad]

FFS Alan

Pointless debating it with him, don't know why I bothered getting involved in the first place.

 

[Alan]

Nor I.

 

[Boozad]

Nor I.

Your argument was absolute bollocks to be fair. Again.

 

[Pablowolf]

He is right footed. He is not right sided.

Oh Alan, my sweet summer child...

 

[Alan]

Your argument was absolute bollocks to be fair. Again.

If you do your math properly you can see that Jonny has spent the large majority of his career playing on the left side of defense.

But don't let those stats stop you.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

To be fair, I did say "at a push"

In a back three Boly, Coady and Bennett shits on anything the B6 massive has, no matter what Gareth Southgate thinks.

And I wouldn't even consider any of their players ahead of ours further forward.

So basically, the combined XI is

Rui, Jonny, Boly, Coady, Bennett, Doherty, Neves, Moutinho, Jota, Jiminez, Traore.

Simple as that.

That doesn’t make him left sided...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It isn't a stats based game. It's not fucking baseball Alan!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Denis Irwin hardly ever played at RB for United after around 1995 when G-Nev came fully through. In fact didn't play there *that* often even before that as Paul Parker was still around.

Was still right sided though, regardless of whether he was an excellent LB too (well, he was for United. Not for us as he was 74)
