So I think if McAllister is given less space to cover, he probably would look a lot better.

I think he's more than willing to put a foot in Balboa and McAllister, he just can't quite get there.

He's late all the time.

There was a few games in a row earlier in the season where he's facing up someone on the flanks, right next to the touchline, and he just takes the fella out on two or three occasions, three matches in a row.

And it's because he just can't quite get there.

And I go back to a similar quote, was to do with Cruyff and I think Guardiola.

Cruyff, not a particularly good defender.

Guardiola, not a particularly good defender.

But I think he said something along the lines of like,

If I give you this whole garden to defend, you're not going to look very good.

If I give you this coffee table to defend, you'll be the best defender in the world.

So I think there's lots of tactical stuff in there with McAllister.

I hope his legs haven't gone.

But he's only 27.

So he's too old to buy, but he's not quite too old at the moment to be looking like this.

So that's a really interesting one.

I think for what it's worth, McAllister will stay.

And I think Jones will go.

You could flip a coin for me as to which one I would prefer.

I think McAllister's the better player by a distance.
