Nordic Saint Posted 6 December, 2022 Share Posted 6 December, 2022 (edited) Pat Nevin: "The skills of Sofiane Boufal are fantastic." The problem, as we know, is that he only displays them in 1 game in 10. Admittedly, that first half was one of those occasions, when he looked the most skilful player on the pitch.

whelk Posted 6 December, 2022 Share Posted 6 December, 2022 I have no doubt Nathan Jones could get a tune out of Boufal…….and Ramirez……and would have tamed Oswaldo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 6 December, 2022 Share Posted 6 December, 2022 Ref conned by Richarlson. At least PL refs have him sussed out. Horrible player. Really disappointed in South Korea, why bother turning up if they're not going to make a game of it. School boy errors all over the pitch.

John Boy Saint Posted 6 December, 2022 Share Posted 6 December, 2022 Think Portugal look like they are playing with much more freedom without their superstar millstone posturing around the pitch.
