So Hamer wins the player of season and the two goals they show are the Cov ones. What a piss take.

[AJB1983]

And Bellingham was completely anonymous in every game he’s played against us in the championship, not even this season, every season. Massively overrated

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Norwich players lol

 

[SBAndy]

Not sure how this is done.....

Bellingham over Josh Brownhill. lol.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Not sure how this is done.....

Sainz, Bellingham and Hamer shouldnt be there, there’s been better. Hamer shouldnt have won POTY there was players who had better seasons, he had a very average season by his standards.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

To me its this

GK - Trafford
RB - Bogle
CB - Esteve
CB - Egan Riley
LB - Firpo
CDM - Tanaka
CM - Brownhill
CAM - Rudoni
RW - James
ST - Piroe
LW - Azaz

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Jobe Bellingham is living off his surname, not by choice either. He’s not that good bang average player in this division

 

[Nick]

Bellingham and Burrows both big shocks. Shouldn’t be anywhere near it.

Bellingham is purely on name

Other one is because they wanted another Sheffield United player in.

Have there ever been top quality footballing brothers?

The De Boer's, The Laudrup's, The Charlton's ?

Off to research. Didn’t know Laudrup or De Boer were brothers. Both world class?

Titus and Tesfaye Bramble. World class.

Frank De Boer was class, shite manager though

and how could you forget the world renowned and our very own Kelly-Evans twins?!

All top top class. Michael Laudrup probably world class. Dunno what people class as world class these days tbf.

 

[TomRad85]

Dion and Devon

Extremely mediocre or just plain shite footballing brothers is a more fun topic. You've got about 4 Sodje brothers.

World class does get banded around way too much these days

10 years ago 'World Class' was reserved especially for Messi and Ronaldo and that is it

I like Newcastle and think they have a cracking side but I side but I saw someone claim Bruno is 'world class' the other day - He is great but he isn't 'world class'

Yeh i agree, its something i'd reserve for only a handful but seems to get spread around like manure on a farmers field these days.

Didn’t Isaac Osbourne have a brother? Possibly played for villa.

Just think the overall quality of football is pish compared to what it was 10-15yrs ago

Most telling is the fact Mbappe is supposedly the best player on the planet, cause let me tell you one thing he wouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as Messi and Ronaldo in their prime

Isaiah

I liked Issac Osbourne, unlucky with injuries

Sheaf also has a younger brother playing in the Nat League with Gateshead

Mbappe comes off as mostly PR.

Individual talent has been eradicated from the game. Look what happened to Grealish. How often we shoot from distance or take a man on. Ballon d’Or will probably be for pass completion in ten years.

 

[fernandopartridge]

I think Hamer gets in because he lifts Sheffield United from what is probably a play off chaser to an automatic promotion contender for most of the season

 

[fernandopartridge]

The Laudrup brothers

Wallace's did pretty well for a while

The Neville's were both decent, Gary especially

 

[alexccfc99]

Paul Pogba's younger brother almost relegated us when we played Crawley on the final game of the season under Mowbray

I think Pep definitely brought in a more stale way of playing. TBH watching us tap it around the box in a U is painful.

Pep-ball was absolutely everywhere 10-15 years ago, we’re literally talking about the era when Spain and Barcelona were winning everything

And I thought that was dull too. Fine if you like it I just find modern football a bit boring mostly.

To me the quality of centre forwards is way way down on what it used to be and no one can tell me otherwise. Players that couldn't even get in the likes of Brazils squads regularly would be among the best around right now. Actually English forwards too tbf, we used to have a good roster, or if you will, deck.

 

[alexccfc99]

Possibly but I just feel like elite level football has less prestige these days - The El Classico was plastered everywhere in that era and was something you would go out your way to watch back then, I had no clue they were playing in the Copa Del Rey final the other day

Then again you could flip the coin and say that Liverpool and City a few years ago gave us some of the best title races we are ever likely to see

Maybe it is just down to what you prefer

I still ain't having that Mbappe is on the same level as prime Messi and Ronaldo though

The original poster said modern football is pish compared to 10-15 years ago - it’s not, the technical standards are higher and the game is more popular.

Finding modern football boring is horses for courses I guess, but I think for the most part it’s just a product of growing up.
