Ally McCoist makes an unfortunate blunder when asked to name a Premier League player he thinks is world-class, with Laura Woods embarrassed by the Rangers legend’s mistake.
TNT Sports presenter Laura Woods was baffled after Ally McCoist incorrectly described Wilfried Zaha as “world class”.
McCoist weighed in on the debate over world-class footballers after fellow TNT Sports pundit Rio Ferdinand sparked controversy by claiming that Arsenal star Bukayo Saka does not belong in that category. Ta.
Since then, Ferdinand has named Ederson, Kyle Walker, Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland, Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior as the 12 footballers he considers to be world-class. , Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappé and Salah.
And when asked for his opinion on the debate by Woods, who asked McCoist how many of the current Premier League players he thought were world-class, the Rangers legend made a huge blunder. “Look at world-class players like Zaha,” he said.
A bewildered Woods then replied, “Zaha?!” McCoist quickly corrected this, adding: “What I wanted to say was, [Mohamed] Salah! Did I just make someone up? ”
Mr. Woods struggled to contain his laughter as he replied: Among other things…he hasn’t even played in the Premier League. ”
McCoist jokingly echoed the blunder, writing: “I know it might be controversial, but I’m going to start with Wilfried Zaha! He’s been a personal favorite of mine for a long time, so I’m going to start with Wilfried Zaha! I’m going to continue with the theme,” he added. And I’ll go with him.
“Since when did Wilfried Zaha become Mo Salah? Anyway, do you want to ask that question again? Actually, we should just leave it at that and have an absolute riot, right? That guy is I lost my marbles!
“Please take him off the air immediately and put him in a nursing home so we can send him flowers and visit him every Sunday afternoon. Take him for a walk on Sunday. I can!”
As Woods pointed out, Zaha is no longer available for trade in the Premier League, having left Crystal Palace over the summer to join Galatasaray after his contract expired. Zaha has played 33 games in all competitions for his new club so far, scoring 10 goals and providing five assists.
