I once played with a player exactly like that. Fabulous right foot, not the pace. It was like playing with 9.5 out field players. Goodwin is a luxury player now.
The Popovic system accommodates our worst technical players. Ridiculous it's tailored towards Irvine and Miller.
Burgess has just turned 30. He might have a couple years or more left yet.

Maybe - but we need to refresh by 2030 - he will be 34 by then. Bring in Matthews after the Asian Cup ealry next year and give hon the qualifiers to get comfortable. 2030 is too late for the older players to move on - they need to give the new ones a chance - assuming they are pushing for selection. i.e. You don't give caps away - but you are not a permanent incumbent. Orderly transition is the key and something we have never been good at.
Will be plenty coming through by 2030 to add to the choices at CB eg Esposito, Kikianis, Herrington etc
My point stands - we need to move on post 2027 Asian Cup. Without even considering those three. The only one of Mathew Ryan, Paul Izzo, Cameron Burgess, Jackson Irvine, Craig Goodwin, Mitch Duke, Martin Boyle I would keep take to the 2027 Asian Cup is Ryan. And that would be his swansong with Steven Hall joining the keepers after that.
Oh I thought the entire situation was on Yengi! Their fans have realised no other striker can do anything either because there's no service and a bad system. Hopefully this will change.
Ruben Amorim sacked at Man United too so I wonder if James Overy now comes onto the bench sometimes. Stupid decision to sack him though given Man U are having a good season so far.
A few more...
