Have to admit, I take a little bit of pleasure when a team like Burnley who start with nine English players is hammering a team like Wolves who choose to avoid homegrown players except for Coady, in favour of foreign recruits, presumably because they don’t rate them or have an agent that has his own agenda to make more money.

 

I totally agree. Though this is only happening because of the agency that wolves are working with. Wolves are an English club in name only

 

Agree also. It comes to something when a German club can name more english players in their starting 11 then an English club names in their entire match day squad.

You will have to be patient with the missing fixtures. I think we’re still missing the Aston Villa v Everton game from week 19 unless I’ve totally missed it and also trying to find out which game is missing from week 32. Fixtures are a bit all over the place at present and not sure the app I use is updated for future fixtures.

 

You haven't. The match at Goodison is next weekend but the one at Villa is still TBC on the Premier League site.

Another one of those crazy lists, this time from
ESPN.


1. Erling Haaland
2. Jadon Sancho
3. Phil Foden
4. Ansu Fati
5. Matthijs de Ligt
6. Jude Bellingham
7. Pedri
8. João Félix
9. Vinícius Júnior
10. Bukayo Saka

I would put saka above pedri by a mile.

 

Not bad so many English kids on the list

 

The espn dudes were questioning sancho's inclusion at number 2. Which i agree with. Foden should be there clearly. Sancho is in the top 6 for me. Bellingham should be top 5. For a 17 year old his maturity is amazing.

 

Where’s musiala on that list?

 

Way down I think

 

Bellingham above Sancho? Wow! Why would they question Sancho being number 2 with his record.

 

Hes on the list but not in the top 10. The rest of the players are just named in alphabetical order but not positioned.
