Matt Le Tissier

Carlton Palmer got double the England caps MLT managed.

Lack of work rate killed his career, a few amazing goals aside.
England caps are not necessarily an indicator of quality. Phil Neville has 59 caps. I agree with you re his work rate, though. To some managers, he could be seen as "lazy". But that doesn't make him average. Not for me, anyway.

He stood out technically in a league dominated by physicality and limited tactics.

If he was playing now and Pep inherited a 25 year old Le Tissier, would he play or sell him?
 
Can someone explain to me what was untrue or innacurate about the quote re. media lies.
 
Le Tiss would have done better abroad. Tactics didn’t come into the Oremier League until about 2005.

Disagree. It's precisely because the premier league was so open and predominantly kick-and-rush that he lasted so long.

Paulo Henrique Ganso and Gourcuff were more rounded and talented players but didn't hit the same numbers. Old school number 10s are virtually extinct in the modern game.

He’d have to be able to move into space at the right times, but he could have done well abroad as a number 10.

Well, anywhere but Italy.

The media lied about WMD - American politicans lied, journos just reported
The media lied about Covid - Tell this to the families of ~180K dead people in the UK
The media lied about the Hunter Biden laptop. - Really, after all that mayhem that prick of the president left behind!!!!!!

Nigel says hi!

Some would say that Anelka or Yaya were lazy.
