For my sins, I favour the Scottish national team above all others. Last month, he appeared in 3 games and was man of the match in all 3 playing precisely in the position you describe...he only played 20 mins of the first one too and was coming back from a lay off and wasn't properly match fit. He's a proven premier league match winner where ASM & Almiron still have a bit to prove for me.

Yeah I see that. That side could play anyway it wanted, it could play on the counter but we also had midfielders who could keep the ball, recycle it, pull defenders out of position then get Bellamy & Dyer to work with Nobby & Robert etc down the flanks to get in behind defences. This side can only play effectively one way. Our current speed merchants are all better off picking the ball up deeper, breaking quickly forward when the opposition are mostly in our half. In this system a no one player would be strictly in behind Wilson. I think the key pass in any break is wide to Fraser who's proven in the premier league he can get the ball to Wilson in a place where he can score from. Where they are on the pitch depends a lot on where the ball breaks to. Am sure were singing off the same hymn sheet here but I think "no 10" is a bit of a red herring and doesn't really describe any of our players .

Yeah I'd be very keen to see all three play. However if you're envisaging Almiron in some sort of Beardsley role then I think you're mistaken. He's got more in common with Sissoko with his running/dribbling style. He punches holes into the opposition half drawing players to him & creating space for others .

Fair enough, not how I see it his game/strengths though. I don't think his assist/goal stats bare it out either. With the forwards we have there's a very decent counter attacking side within our squad. That's mostly how I think we play by default due to the pace of Fraser, ASM & Almiron. This "work in progress" bullshit from Bruce is irrelevant. These are the players he's been given, he doesn't really know what to do with them.

What job is he doing in there? playing cute passes & through balls into the box for Wilson? That's not in his game as far as I can make out. The lad is a runner. He creates space. For me he needs to pick the ball up slightly deeper than where you're suggesting ie on the counter. This no 10 stuff is mostly for teams playing a possession game. That's not us and hasn't really been since we had Cabaye. I think the key to this side is the Wilson/Fraser axis. One assists the other scores, with ASM chipping in mostly with the assists. Almiron is very important with his pace when we break though.

leave that 3 phase bad boy in it mate this is your easiest option, if you try to swap you’d run into problems with reversing & gearing

Just spoke to the surgery manager where I'm working today, she says they havent decided how to roll this out...it'll either be locally via NHS surgeries or they might centralise the whole thing like testing. Hopefully they'll give it to the army to do. Don't want to see Serco or Deloitte anywhere fuckin near it...

Can someone fill me in on who this is?

Trump & his family have all committed various indictable fellonies. They'll all turn on each other and cut deals . They may not all do time but to my mind they'll be an on going bad memory by the time 2024 rolls round.. Manhattan's South District DA's office prosecuted Cohen and they'll now have their sights on the main prize.

The GOP are hanging Trump and his villainous tribe out to dry, their knives in his back to see them all off to a cosy federal penitentiary . There’s a theory that the plan wasn’t to get Trump into the Whitehouse per se, it was to get Kushner as close to the seat of power as possible. Watching the whole pack turn in each other is going to be fuckin great
