Sandwiched between Liverpool and Hamburg..

We all know that. Doesn’t make them a “super club” currently imo

Ah that old chestnut,  The bitter footballing romantics of yesteryear will never die.  Eventually they will and you'll be left with the Jack Rodwells of this world...which do you prefer ?

You're fully entitled to your opinion and of course I understand where you're coming from also

He looked somewhat decent in a back 5 under Conte at Chelsea, mainly because there was always an extra player either side of him in the centre. I've no sympathy for any team/manager that persists with him as one of two centre halves.

Seen that Tbilisi team in Anfield in 1979. Along with Saachis Milan team and Peps Barca team, they are the best club team i ever seen. Although they lost that game 2-1 to the best English team ever, they were incredible to watch. They won the second leg of the tie comfortably 3-0, before being controversial being eliminated in the QF. They went on to win the ECWC in 1981 hammering West Ham at Upton Park on the way. Myself and my dad went to see them against Waterford in Kilcohan Park in the first round and they kept the ball for practically the whole match. I read a couple of articles from journalists who were at Anfield that night and the common theme is that they were an amazing team that didn't get the plaudits they deserved. There success was over a short number of years and it didn't go down well with the Moscow authorities and a lot of referring decisions went against them in favour of the favoured Moscow teams and Kiev. I talked to some locals on the McGeady trip to Georgia about that team and the y were thrilled that someone remembered it. Got a few scoops bought for me as well.
