Didn’t deserve to be on the end of a panenka. That was Hugo at his best, the save from Frenkie was brilliant. Frenkie should definitely wanna join now after knowing what his potential new keeper can do
Good news for us with Alli and Winks not starting but I'd have liked to see Dier left out since he's coming back from a knock too. That said, Delph and Barkley as the playmakers? I don't fancy our chances in this one.
Delph proving what a complete waste his career at Citeh has become. He's a very good player but he doesn't get to play often enough. Barkley showing that he looks great in a Top 6 PL team that's not going to lose very often but in a competitive match, his lack of being able to tackle is a problem. Sterling just being Sterling. Come on England!
Think he wants to ply his trade further South? Would love to see him at Spurs aa- he’s looked really impressive for a while now at International level and also has great versatility. The Chavs are welcome to Barkley........
Just watched Congo v DrC. 2.5 inches of rain in the first half and almost as much in the second but the ref refused to stop the match. It finished 1-1. Not surprising as in places the players were up to their ankles. The ball was floating away. EDIT I got that all wrong, the ref did stop it, it has restarted now.
Excellent persistence and finally some decent deliveries into the box. A well deserved win. I could get to like this and might dust down my England membership?
