against anyone brazil defenders good matter players plays score space
It doesn't matter if he plays against Brazil or anyone else. When he plays, other players score and find space because defenders are on him, it's always good to have a player like that.
board chance mind ourselves players pressure promotion putting realistic relish
It's putting pressure on ourselves to say we have a chance of promotion but it's realistic pressure and I don't mind that. The players have to take that on board and relish it.
balls bring fall happen level looking places player short unlikely
We are looking to bring someone in on a short-term loan. But that's unlikely to happen before the weekend. At this level a lot of balls have got to fall into the right places for you to get a player you want short term,
dropping fancy football looking players playing rather team
We are looking at the Premiership so players have got to fancy dropping down to the Championship and getting first team football rather than playing in the reserves.
ball chasing felt four gives liked manager midfield player push three
I often felt as a player in a 4-4-2, you end up being outnumbered in midfield and chasing the ball, so as a manager I liked wingbacks to push forward; it gives the midfield player on the ball three or four options.
bobby cup lift player team win
If you look at every team to win the World Cup they have an extra-special player who can lift the team. We had Bobby Charlton in 1966. A player who can lift us to another level.
player jewels names
Paul Scholes was the jewel in the crown, the first name on the teamsheet and unquestionably one of the finest England players of the age. He flourished at once in the international arena, which didn't surprise me given his fabulous all-round attributes. He had almost everything - talent, intelligence, courage. His only blemish, which he never really shook off, was his tackling. There was always the chance of that red mist coming down. Overall, though, Paul was a wonderful player and he's a lovely lad, a credit to his club and to himself.

If there is any bad feeling I hope it's against me and not my players - I may put my tin helmet on without them seeing!
player two different
You can never compare two players that are different, they're never going to be the same.
football jobs player
My saddest decision in football was leaving Paul Gascoigne out of the 1998 World Cup finals. But he wasn't fit enough and once that decision is made, as a manager and a group of players, you forget about who isn't there and focus on the job.
mean player years
Only 38 per cent of players in the Premier League are English; that is a damning statistic. Soon, the England manager will have to go scouting for players in the Championship - and when I say 'soon' I mean the next four or five years, perhaps even for the next World Cup.
cup expect gets happens normally nowhere player time tournament
In every World Cup there's always a player who comes from nowhere before every tournament - normally someone who gets in that you don't expect - and that happens all the time with England.
