Not sure it's the worst but a few months ago I was saying Richarlison just wasn't right for Spurs, had no issues with him as a person or a player and knew he was still respected by Everton but he just wasn't the right person to keep around at spurs. After his recent purple patch the opinion isn't looking great

A terrible underrated prediction came from Mark Lawrenson. He used to do weekly predictions for the bbc and in 2015/16, the final theoretical table of his predicted results had West Ham getting relegated. They finished 4 points off the champions league, and only 3 teams lost fewer games than them. Its the fact that he watched what that Dimitri Payet West Ham side were doing every week and still predicted them to lose is incredible.

I thought Rory's Haaland prediction was sensible at the time. It was reserved, setting an achievable goal. Who had Haaland down to absolutely smash the all time top goalscoring season record in his debut campaign? That would've been a ridiculous prediction. It only looks bad in hindsight.

@reinrassigerStuhl 4 ай бұрын

It only looks sensible if you didn't see him at Dortmund. Haaland had an outrageous amount of goals while looking like an absolute world beater, he had 86 goals in 89 games to be precise. Rory made it sound like Haaland even as a golden boot winner was highly unlikely while saying that "he isn't the player everyone thinks he is". I'm sorry mate, but that's delusional and a sign of bad ball knowledge on his part. There were more sensible predictions of more knowledgeable people stating something along the lines of "Haaland might need some time to adapt to Peps system but he will sooner or later shred everything to pieces", that's about as far as scepticism could reasonably go with Haaland. He scored a ton for a solid but not great Dortmund team, why wouldn't he destroy the Prem in a far superior City team with none other than KDB behind him?

@@reinrassigerStuhlThere are plenty of strikers who have come from Germany with great goal scoring figures who have either taken time to adjust or flopped completely. There are qualities needed in the PL that aren't needed in Germany and even if a player on paper has the qualities to succeed it can take time to fully adapt. And Pep has such a unique style, one that he doesn't generally change from, he requires players to adjust to it so that's another factor that was against him ripping the league apart.

‘Can’t win anything with kids’ should’ve been in ‘haunting them’. Since, at the time Man United had been champions twice in the previous 3 years, the only players they lost were Ince and Kanchelskis. There were still 7 experienced players remaining from ‘91 who won the Cup Winners Cup in Rotterdam. It also quite literally, haunted Hansen for decades to come. Edit: Not a Man United fan.

The Haaland prediction was a brave move that backfired. Everyone was saying he'd be great and if you're the guy who said he wouldn't and turned out to be right then you're the guy who can say they called it for ever. Even if that was just in the first season. He bet high and lost that's all. I do think Rory Jennings talks a lot a lot a lot of partisan rubbish about Chelsea but I grudgingly accept he's very entertaining.

Garth Crooks is the worst "pundit" in the world, He knows nothing about modern football. His team of the week (BBC) is embarrassingly bad. I wonder if he is under orders to pick from certain teams.

I will always defend Rory's take on Haaland, everyone always conveniently leaves out the part after he mentions Salah and Kane where he says there's just too many factors that can go wrong for him, and so to expect him to win the golden boot in his first season is ridiculous just on its face. Mind you, this was before he had ever even kicked a ball for man city and everyone was certain he would win the golden boot and that's what the question was about, not whether he'd have a "good season" it was specifically about the golden boot. Rory was actually being more levelheaded than everyone else at the time, he just happened to be very wrong.

To give Pele some credit, that Colombia prediction wasn't as wild as it sounds. In the qualifiers, Colombia beat Argentina 5-0 and the country sort of lost their minds. They went into that tournament on stilletos as they all believed they could challenge and I think he fell victim of the hype. But at the time it made sense. In the same way, Belgium would have been predicted to win a tournament but then stank out the joint like a Colombia did because of the pressure amongst many things.

The redemption of Rory's prediction is the fact that Haaland was expected to be rotated more than he actually was. If you also predict him needing some time to settle then 15 goals in 25 matches isn't too far off. But clearly Rory hadn't watched much of Haaland at all.

@10Zissou10 4 ай бұрын

Rory’s take won’t be beaten for quite some time. Haaland in a Chelsea or United then yeah maybe 15 goals is a good return as he is VERY wasteful but in a City team that created enough chances for a very average Raheem Sterling to score 20+ every season he was always going to score loads.
