2020/21 Ben Godfrey

Oh here he is, the L4 Lothario.

Godfrey -- Goal scoring centre half Mina - Goal scoring centre half Keane - best left back in the world Digne








Not in squad - "run up the field and get lost" Clogger Kenny

Our left back is magic.

Our left back is magic.

He is THE best left back in the world, no question. And we have the best destroyer in Allan and best Number Tenner in James.

That, and Mina has been great this season. There's a very strange hatred of him on here. He's a goal scoring centre half who wins plenty of headers and can carry the ball out from the back.

Hes been ok overall. But he was very poor against West Brom and made an error yesterday.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Think he’ll be battling with Holgate to partner Keane. Mina, for me, is just too dodgy and unreliable.

 

[Terrarian]

When sky were picking that power ranking team the other week, Mina was on the overall list in the top bunch. Only stats like but show he's not a complete donkey as some are suggesting.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I almost wouldn’t want to move him from RB atm. At least atm til Coleman gets healthy.

 

[TheBlueBlitzer]

Still furious with the lad for that.

No need on 90 minutes when 2-2 to be putting in challenges like that. Think he's become frustrated with not being the main goalscorer this season but like when Mane/Salah were having little spats for not passing to each other its not about him its about the team and getting the 3 points.

I hope this really hits home as its not the 1st time he's let a rush of blood see himself sent off and he's big player for us and needs to be leading by example.

Clubs like Barca wont be sniffing around if they think he's a liability.

They did sign Suarez like

Suarez was on another level to Richarlison and the biting aside had the dark arts mastered.

Richarlison needs to learn from James on how to play the game - you get back at your opponent by winning the game not lunging into tackles / squaring face to face and getting suspended with big games coming up.

I think most neutral supporters, going on ability, would choose The Biter before Richie.

 

[Terrarian]

Got a good age group of CBs haven't we all between 22-25 with young Branthwaite in reserve at 18

Well my original comment was about someone saying Barca wouldn't want Richy if he makes tackles like in the derby, and I was saying they got Suarez who was a liability that would come back and bite you

We are indeed the best team in the whole world. Who would have thought it a couple of years ago with fat Sam and bald Wayne?

It's a strange one isn't it.

We are de facto the best team in our league.
We loaned PSG (best team in France) our third choice striker therefore we are better than them
James has stepped up from Bayern and Real so therefore we are better than the two best teams in Spain and Germany
Italy is not a serious league

Yep, and a position where players naturally get better with experience and hit their peak later on. Keane has become the player we hoped he was when he signed. Holgate came on leaps and bounds, Godfrey looks the real deal, Mina has ability and can improve and Branthwaite is very promising. Good strength in depth there. Just need the same at RB, another winger/striker and a top goalie and we've got not only a good 11 but a very strong squad

 

[Kenshin]

Reckon he looked raw yesterday and looked very much the lad who has very little experience at this level. Positioning was off , wasn't reading the game that well and seemed to drift in too much creating space on his side.

That being said we never bought a finished article so looking forward to see him develop over the next couple of seasons. A year under Carlo and he may well be dislodging holgate out the team next season.
