So then I started coming in off the line, which I've never ever done on one foot, because they use your initiative.
I shouldn't have said that.
You could have thought it, as we all thought it.
In fact, when I was leaving, interestingly, I don't know if you're getting on to that, when I was leaving, I was saying to Mo, I'm 34, you know, time's coming up, and it's like, well, they're making a bit of a... In fact, that's what happened, because, of course, I was in midfield, I had to change the way I play, roughly, and then all of a sudden, because I'm not like a... They said, we need Imci.
So they said, that's what we need, we need them to come back, and, you know, the reason why we're not winning, and Man United are taking on, because we don't have that commanding figure in midfield.
So they kind of, like, half-eyed field, threw me under the bus, but I never said anything.
Yeah.
It does help, doesn't it?
Well, yeah, because, of course, but I think more importantly, they would have, forget about me scoring that goal then, but if they watch Watford every week and they see the way we're playing, how is John Barnes going to fit in Liverpool?
All we do is hit long balls, you know, crossover runs into the channel, Barnes gets the ball, he crosses it, although scored against Liverpool.
But they looked at me, not just against Liverpool, to say, because sometimes I played up front, sometimes I played in midfield.
I remember we're playing, who was it against?
And he's actually scored.
Good attacking midfield player.
He said to me, Graham Taylor said to me, I'm going to play in midfield.
This game, pick the team.
Pick the team.
Who is it against?
And he goes, you're playing in midfield.
And I want you to man mark.
