Bree's been doing a lot of good covering and support work.

Good from Dibling.

Bree is much better than he's given credit for. Certainly not a starter in this league, but a very decent squad cover.

I never said he was a winger, I said he's an inside forward. He is not a Centre Forward.

A Centre Forward is a striker, the same as an Inside Forward is a striker. But one is very different to the other and involves pulling wide. He's never been a proper centre forward.

Pulling wide does not equal getting chalk on your boots from starting every move in your team’s defensive possession from the left wing position. Ans suggesting “he’s never played up front in his whole career” is just factually incorrect and easily proved wrong, so I’m not sure why you’re continuing with that line.

I’ve just realised… any number 9 in the world in this team is pointless. Might as well go without and put an extra man where they will be involved… then it hit me - that’s why we play 3 at the back 😂 see im now on russ’ wavelength.

Well he didn't for Blackburn.

Martin: Penalties. So, we get to take a shot. But can we pass it around or at least get a couple of their defenders in front of it?

I'd like to imagine him instructing everyone to do the old Thierry Henry/Robert Pires routine for the shootout 😂

Given how corrupt this competition is I really don't care who too much what happens now. Let's see if a Saints penalty taker emerges though.

Expand  

Is that because you don’t understand how the CL works?

I have in other posts. Take a look.

I don't care enough to look for them and I believe you and somewhat agree with your assessment of him. He's more of an 'attacker ' than a traditional no 9 but he HAS played there, as a 9, through the middle plenty of times. So, people asking why he's not there now; it's understandable.

Not with any success - he played off a number 9 for Blackburn in his best seasons (Sam Gallagher for a lot of the season actually).
