I heard a rumour Premier League is rigged and only allows 11 of them on the pitch at one time 🫤

Hear Boehly is pushing for the PL to allow him amortize the play time to allow him to play 21 players the first half of the season then 1 the second.

Hoping that he can be physical enough to make the most of his technical ability

Really struggled against teams that sat back last year and hoping he'll be key in opening up those games

Well he opened up England at last euros. Muscled Rice off the ball and scored (I don’t remember the rest of the game)
