    Ultimately we are still expecting him to make a silk purse out of a sows ear! The fact that our shit players should be far better than the hammer throwers for our opposition tells me it comes down to hunger and the fact that our players aren't playing for something. They're playing because they can, gone are the days when they gave their heart and soul because it meant something. Now we can have  massively overpaid players who feel no urge to put everything on the line because they'll get 20k a week regardless. 

    Big Phil has his work cut out for sure. Don't envy the guy having to sort this shit show out.

    The system needs players who can play in that style. Having Silva and Sima neither of whom are natural wide players play in that system is fucking madness. At the very least put Sima on the left where he was so effective for us before he got injured.

    Yeah Sima looks a different player when he is breaking down the left. Seems ineffective on the right, would play him central or left wing. These are the things you hope Phil picks up on but he is always hampered by the available options, and hindered by our general poor quality.

    He'll not beat Nicklaus record for most cuts. He'll not be fit to play in 13yrs. He will never have Nicklaus longevity.

    You do wonder how many Tiger would have won if he had stayed injury free. He's essentially been a part time player since his mid 30s.

    I know he's not everyone's cup of tea but I think in terms of talent ceiling he's the best ever.

    Yes talent wise Tiger is GOAT golfer for me .

    Nobody else could go what Woods has done after being through what he's been through. Making the cut is a massive achievement.

    Scheffler though is the best player in golf at the moment. Just seems to do everything well, without ever really being flashy or wow. So tidy and consistent.

    Should be noted that Tiger is now the all time record holder with 24 made cuts at the masters. Was previously tied on 23 with Fred Couples and Gary Player. Incredible numbers.

    Edit:  Just checked and Jack Nicklaus has the record of most cuts with 37. 24 by Tiger is the most consecutive cuts record.    Didn't think he would have more than Nicklaus all in.
