He was destroyed by a Pogba led player rebellion, something OGS is now experiencing. The sooner they get rid of Pogba, the better the team will fare imho

The longer there's wrangling, disharmony and tension
within O.T. the better as far as I'm concerned.
I dislike everything about the club - especially the fact that
they get TV coverage virtually every single weekend <grr>

Two more examples of Pukki's skill and awareness in the Finland game. When you add in his work rate then I doubt that there are more than a handful of attacking players playing at the top level who can match his contribution. In purely the taking of chances then Glenn Murray at Brighton is probably a comparison but if you consider the assists and willingness to help out in defence then I think you need to look towards the other end of the table.

VAR strikes again.

A hair offside against Holland

A mild pull a while before the goal here. I think if that was the Swiss, they wouldn't have disallowed it.

I was feeling pretty upbeat that at least in the games against big teams, we won't just get screwed next season. The fact is, they will just keep looking back through the footage until they can find a reason not to give us a goal or a penalty at Old Trafford or Anfield.

A Swiss player in the wall just jumped up, blocked the freekick with his chest, we came back with another attack. The defender wriggled around on the floor. The ref stopped the game, and gave the ball to Switzerland...….WTF?!

Now it's a foul if the wall blocks an England freekick!?

Nice pen Barkley. Didn't like how he stepped up and where he stood. I was expecting a Panenka but thought he made it too obvious. Class Penalty.

Only just seen that. I think this man can do it in the Premiership. We have had some strikers who do it in the Champ, but can't step up. Likes of CamJam.

Pukki looks different. I think he's going to worry a fair few Premiership defences.

I'm putting £5 on him winning the 'Golden Boot' next season. Can't wait to see the bookie's face when I place my bet.
Edit - Should this be on the2019-2020 thread???

If he wasn't a cult hero already, he will be after this... <ok>

Klose holds a special place in the affections of Norwich fans for his dramatic stoppage-time equaliser in the 2018 home derby against Ipswich and, speaking to Swiss daily newspaper Aargauer Zeitung, joked the Canaries remain the dominant power.
"Norwich is the club in eastern England. We have a big fan base. Besides us, there is Ipswich, but they are not so cool and have no fans," he said.

All the Jose - Chelsea reports are strange. Can you really see him having a 3rd stint there? Especially after the last one?!

Although Frank Lampard to Chelsea reports are probably stranger. Achieved nothing as a Manager, failed in his first seasons task in the Championship - Get the Chelsea job in the Champions League!
