Being a controller means earning compliments from your teammates, opponents and a select few accounts on Twitter.

Truth is there’s very little incentive to be a controller in modern football. Sponsors, celebrities and the media still look for goals.

Look at the WAGs of the top registas and compare them to world class strikers. Shocking disparity. Registas struggle to pull 7/10s ffs.

Kroos could have pulled a 10/10 had he continued to play CAM. He dropped back to DM and ended up with this. Cruel.

This is one of the realest threads on Twitter. Ladies love CFs. Goals are the most potent aphrodisiac.
