Quote from: Ads on June 17, 2021, 03:57:35 PMI rate those 2 crosses for Gabby at the Sty or at Old Trafford or the 2 goals he scored against Small Heath when we battered them 5, slightly higher than a dive that one time in a game we got shovelled in anyway.The goal at Everton remains one of my favourite Villa moments ever and I wasn't even there. Had been out for lunch with the missus and dived into The Village in Moseley for the last half an hour, the bar was full of gleeful noses texting their mates when Lescott scored, so they weren't watching when it went it, and me and the one other Villa fan in there sitting about 10ft away from us went mental.The looks on their faces was priceless.

It's happened in other positions as well but wingers in particular have been terrible for getting a handful of caps and then giving up.Bentley and Jarvis spring to mind. Loftus Cheek heading there

Makes total sense, senior head and experience in the dressing room that weve lost. Can cover both fullback roles. Done deal

Done dealWhen did he last play in a back four at full back? Inter play with a back 3, so did England in 2018. With United, I can't recall to be honest what formation they played in the LvG/Mourinho days.
