If you’re only talking about winning European trophies, yes, but if you’re talking about the biggest teams overall that are from Europe (so total trophies, general always being at that top table, global fan base), it’s got to be Real, Barca and Man Utd

Henry started as a winger before Arsenal signed him. I think these days he’d have stayed out wide and played as an inside forward cutting in from the left onto his right foot. Like you say, he often did that anyway.

As a Man Utd fan, I’ll happily take the one where Ole finished second 🙃

George Best. If he’d managed to stay away from the booze and the ladies of course. I feel like if he’d grown up in the modern era he would have more people around him to keep him on the straight and narrow though.

Henry would’ve stayed as a winger, and probably been exactly the same player. The others you listed would all have been worse. The game has changed for a number 9 now, and those guys were all old fashioned goal scorers, pure and simple.

Why do they not just make it so that some part of the ball has to be touching the field of play (including the lines) in order for the ball to be considered in play? That way if you can see grass, it’s definitely out.

I’m not sure it’s accurate to say ETH is a bad man manager. There have been a couple of players he’s had run ins with, but one was CR7, who is about as diva as they come, and the other is a young player who’s done nothing and thinks he’s somehow entitled to play just because he had one good season at his old club 4 years ago, and publicly came out in defiance of the manager.

Frankly, had it been Fergie, CR7 would have been sold in the summer before he left, because he was never going to fit the system (it was patently obvious ETH was told when he came in that he had to keep him), and he would have done exactly the same with Sancho, he’ll be gone in January.

It’s funny how being hardline with players is seen as tough love and putting the club first when you’re winning, but it can turn into getting labelled as a bad man manager when you’re not.
