Hoddle was a great player, but an absolute awful pundit.
BT in general have terrible pundits and commentators.
This game is really dire, Plus don’t see what the hype over Jack Grealish is, really hope we don’t sign him.

And Jake Humphrey, you can tell he’s a posh boy who’s desperate to be one of “the lads” and although he’s 41, he talks like someone who only got into football in his late 20’s or something.
BT Sport had the best football programme on TV with the European Football Show and they inexplicably axed it. James Richardson is a great presenter and the journalists offer genuine insight and aren’t hampered by not wanting to upset clubs or their mates in the game.

Really? I think he’d be excellent for us.
Hes got nothing to work with at Villa
Would be happy to pay top dollar to have him at City

Exactly. He’s done remarkably well in what in reality is a poor side.

Doubt he’ll cost that much especially if they go down. 80 million is paper talk. If he pushes for an exit which he likely will then I can’t imagine it being anything near that fee.
Who does he replace in our first 11?
They have Michael Owen on their punditry team so obviously have very low standards.

No one necessarily but to be a top team you need top competition.
Ole is insistent on player a number 10 but won’t play Pogba there. If anything happens Bruno we would be back to square one.
Also we ran Rashford into ground because no one else was good enough to allow him to have a breather.
Grealish would solve both those problems.

Yeah, his style means he needs quality around him. I think he have a field day with our frontline.

Me too. I actually think he’d be arguably a better option to Rashford in certain games.
Did he mean the best team to play with a back three or the best at utilising a back three?

Think he meant both but either way Chelsea won the league at a canter playing a back 3 not so long ago.
He just re-iterated his point
Chelsea under Conte was better

if two teams are turning up it's going to be a really tough game
Grealish would suit a possession based team like City. Grealish lacks the pace to play as a wide forward. He could play in the counter attacking system of Ole but only in midfield and if he raises his work rate.
He also kept peddling this myth that Wolves are a great team to watch. They are defensively solid, but pretty much just bore you to death for 60 minutes before bringing a couple of pacy wingers on to run at tired defences. Pretty damn effective to be fair though.

They must be getting paid by their Chinese owners to say this. No way can all these pundits believe it. They’re a rich man’s Stoke.
