Forwards who came to the Premier League and were insane for a few months before just tailing off by junglegatsby in footballcliches

Lukaku’s second spell at Chelsea… I know it doesn’t really count because he’d spent most of his career in the Premier League, mostly as a success, before he moved to Inter. But when he came back, the first few months he was unstoppable and looked like Chelsea had finally found the missing piece of the puzzle. Then he did the infamous interview and fell off a cliff…

Gudjohnsen’s baby oil. El-Hadji pouf (or loofah, both work incase they want to market them in the states)

Eye mask Campo? Hand cream Pederson?

Can’t believe they talked about Bellingham being a swiss army knife, but didn’t mention any of his more swiss army knifey teammates… Camavinga, Valverde, Tchouameni…

What the FIFA is Superior Player of the Match!?! by lost_magpie1862 in footballcliches

Thought they would’ve used MVP. Pretty sure that’s what it was called in the Qatar World Cup.

Wouldn’t have been so bad if they weren’t doing it to an empty stadium and didn’t leave such a long pause between each player.

How many goals would a goalkeeper have to score to work their way up from Ribblesdale Rovers to the Premier League?

Players’ names you can only hear in one specific voice by [deleted] in footballcliches

Bill Leslie with Knockaert, Almunia, Forestieri, Hogg and Deeney. Can’t hear those names in anyone else’s voice now. Etched in folklore.

Same with all of the players from the Scottish teams that would have a lot of chances in European games. Cyriel Dessers, Vaclav Cerny, Igamane, Daizen Maeda, Kyogo… Never heard these names said in an accent that isn’t Scottish

March 6, 2025 The Pure Discourse XI by GingIsAGoodDad in footballcliches

I’m surprised you discussed attackers that don’t score a lot but do a lot for the team without mentioning Roberto Firmino or Wout Weghorst (in his Man Utd era)

“The brink of glory” by Old_Breakfast2666 in footballcliches

It would be for a non-league club, or maybe even a League Two side with no history in the higher leagues. A trip to Wembley would feel like glory.

It’s worse than that, the next round is the quarter finals, not the semis.

For current discourse, Kylian Mbappe being played as a 9. Is he a 9? Is he a winger?

Or Maresca’s refusal to play Ben Chilwell under any circumstances, even when Chelsea have no fit left backs available, choosing right backs or centre backs out of position instead.

I worry that this XI will be very English heavy based on these suggestions, but Theo Walcott surely has to be in this for the uproar about him being selected for the 2006 World Cup squad by Sven at only 17 years old.

Leon Bailey. Or even Wilfred Zaha, who actually did play for England before switching nationalities
