  • It’s the final episode of Football’s Greatest: Euros and Merse and Jeff are rounding it off with one last Q+A.
    They tackle questions like: is Declan Rice is overrated? How will Arne Slot get on at Liverpool? And did Merse really ask a team-mate to injure him so he could go to the races?
    They also discuss how news journalists could be ruthless, whether Sean Dyche should be on the shortlist for the England job, the Dutch revolution at Manchester United, if Aston Villa can stay in the top 6 and Merse explains why Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze were like a pair of shoes.
    ANNOUNCEMENT: this may be the last Euros show but coming in August - Football’s Greatest: Eras with Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes. Join the pair as they take you inside one of the most dominant periods ever seen in the Premier League. Expect tales about Sir Alex Ferguson, Eric Cantona and David Beckham, the rivalries and the inside track on some of the biggest games and players from the 90s and 00s.
    Follow Football's Greatest and join in the debate:

    thing is declan is not a kroos, busquets, rodri, pirlo, modric etc....a guy who can get it from the defence under pressure and move it through the lines and avoid the press.... he just doesnt have the technical ability to deal with the ball in tight spaces and get out of trouble and move it forward between the lines at the elite level. hes a roy of the rovers type player... hes not good enough to play where he does and even though hes better further forward hes not as good as those in front

    Actually yeah he probably is. Arsenal probably paid twice as much as what he was probably worth looking back now.
    He probably got outshone by Mainoo at the Euros.
    We do miss a decent CM player, we probably haven't had one since Michael Carrick.

    Even as a spurs fan I’ll admit that Rice is a quality player, but Rodri showed that there’s another level. Same with the likes of Busquets and Pirlo.

    The trouble with fans: every signing is a world class player. Fans always overrate their players. It’s hard for them to be honest about their own. A lot of it is fuelled by media and podcasters who build up expectations above what they should be. If all these players are world class where do they fit in to a world eleven. 99 out of a hundred wouldn’t make it onto a world eleven bench, let alone into the first team. There are precious few, if any, world class players in the PL. You can say De Bruyne, he has been world class, but his arse is slowly sliding off the bench, same for Salah: Rodri, definitely in any world eleven; Van Dyke slipping off the bench, Allison still in the world eleven goal. So, just two definite in a world eleven, from the PL.

      He can’t take the ball on the half turn. Can’t clip the ball around the corner doesn’t use the outside his foot these are fundamental things for a midfield players playing football all his life. He’d be a much better centre half with his size and presence. He gets lost against really players in the middle the park and slows the tempo down
