I would not say Bobby Moore had a huge physical presence, an aura but not a presence.
He could tackle and tackle well but his game was mostly based on anticipation, his reading of a situation was almost uncanny.
Norman Hunter had a physical presence and was unlucky to be around as the same time as Bobby Moore otherwise he would have gained loads for caps.
Unless you and I are seeing physical presence as two different things.... |
The aura that he had, as you rightly say, gave him the physical presence imo. He also distributed the ball very well. Hunter despite his well deserved reputation as a hard man, had a wonderful left foot. |  | | |

That's my thoughts PJH! |
I know, I saw that you had posted but waded in anyway.
After posting I wondered what would have happened if Bobby Moore's career coincided with a fit Kevin Beattie's because a fit Kevin Beattie would also have been worth upwards of 100 caps. [Post edited 17 Jul 2019 17:39]

Yes, I thought that you were seeing physical presence in his game as being based on strength because I never saw Bobby Moore like that. | | | |

Or going even further back Duncan Sdwards? | | | |

Yes, I never saw him play but I think SBR put Kevin Beattie on a similar level as Duncan Edwards. | | | |

I didn’t see him play live either, just a few old clips.I also recall Beattie being compared to him. | | | |

Anyone who is cheap enough for Marcus.
I can see us losing first few games with non existent defence and nerves would really kick in then. | | | |

It's glorious timing for Lambert. He's got a ready-made early-season excuse for all the Improved Performances incoming. [Post edited 17 Jul 2019 22:27]

Skuse and Woolfenden. Also, they'd both be ideal for PL's style of play where he wants to play out from the back both are decent on the ball. Skuse reads the game well, so he could let Woolfenden challenge for the high ball, while he plays behind the youngster and sweeps up the bits and pieces. |
the same wolfenden that gave an interview the other day and said he'd like to play alongside someone that does the dirty work so he can play? |  |

The needs of the team outweigh those of the individual for a couple of games at least. | |

Nsiala will be back. |
Hopefully back in the queue for departure. | |

I had a dream a few nights ago that Ndaba became our surprise player of the season (in a good way). Of course it was just a dream, but I´ll certainly take it if it comes true. But probably there will be at least one addition at centre back, so I´m guessing new player and Skuse or Woolfenden. | | | |

Woolfenden plus a new signing |  |

What?
Is that the same Nsiala that was voted by TWTD readers ‘man of the match’ in the last few games of 2018/19 season? |  |
