I too would like an example.

I don’t like our chances of getting one

hahaha asking Martinez about defending set pieces.


The man who doesn't believe in them.

K'in ell, the commentator (used 'we' so perhaps a Belgian) questions Roberto regarding nobody on the front post, and he pretty much said, 'No, it's not an issue'.

You haven't learnt to defend set-pieces, have you, lad?

"We had good play but no real chances" - "when we lost the goal we lost our composure" - footballs gain is the vegas comedy circuits loss.

 

[gonetomorrow]

Are there any Belgians on here that can confirm Roberto is your greatest manager of all time?

They played like Walloons.

How he blames Distin for this is going to be some escapologist trick...

'We played phenomenally, as we set a record for walking more on the pitch than running. We won the hearts and minds. '

You only have to defend 3 in a game bro so what’s the point practicing them?

Did he say they controlled the game because they had more possession?

I'm still reeling from this gem..."The first goal affected the outcome"... the mans a prophet, a 12th dimensional genius, I can't begin to fathom such intelligence.

Meanwhile, in a parallel universe, the great Guy Thys takes another puff of his cigar and shakes his head.

This "golden generation" was nothing of the sort. They had a smattering of fine players - but the fact that so many had name recognition in the Premier League meant some jumped to the conclusion they were all world beaters. So you had mediocrities like Aldewiereld, Batshuayi, and Tielemens held up as stars when, in reality, only De Bruyne, Courtois, Lukaku and a fit Hazard were any real cop. Enzo Scifo, Jean-Marie Pfaff, Erik Gerets, Jan Ceulemans, and Frankie Vercauteren et al were every bit their equals - with a Euro final appearance and a World Cup semi-final appearance more than matching the current crop's output.

Witsel is ours! Let's face it: he'd have fitted right in on our Titanic.

He wont be short of suitors from top class clubs now.

Wait and see.
