ESPN FC need to find a new format. I seriously mean this too. I’ve been watching this show for many years but this segment of picking apart the words of managers and players is completely stale. Particularly when they don’t play the audio of the words. ESPN FC, you guys seriously need to evolve. Even the cliches and phrases your pundits use are all highly predictable. Change is needed and folks like you guys are why managers and players rarely ever say anything of significance to the media. At this point, your pundits should just come out and draft the statements for managers and players to say. Because it doesn’t matter what they say anymore, you virtually always criticize them. Even when perfectly valid explanations are given.
Kieran’s back and he surprisingly has a little bit more substance with him. YES, Virg is completely wrong in his assessment of that situation, and to answer the crew, he STOPS because he thinks the ball is out. But even that is no excuse.
Simply, at his age, he should not be playing as much as he is and with as little support as he gets. He needs better support, and a better structure around him… and that’s all up to the team and manager
Certain people in life will blame anything and anyone but themselves. VVD has it. So he will do and say anything to save face. It works when you’re winning but looks atrocious when losing.

Virgil wouldn’t even be mentioned as a defensive player 20 years ago, the standard has dropped off dramatically
Can’t even lace Ramos’ boots 🥱
7:50 I’ll tell you what the fans are MORE concerned about… the manager who’s completely inadequate for the job.
Slot Out… he’s got to go
this segment of tearing apart players’ and managers’ words is old and tiring. wrap it up
