Ian Wright made a good point last night - one I had either forgotten or wasn't aware of - Saka started off as a left back / left wing back at Arsenal ... It's a no brainer ... immediate balance down the left hand side rather than 'Turn-back Trippier' - would then allow for either Gordon, Bowen or Eze to start wide right and Foden and Saka as a left sided partnership should create chances ... So ... Pickford Saka Stones Guehi Walker Rice Bellingham Palmer Foden Watkins/Toney Eze/Gordon/Bowen Sorted!
Wanted Robins as our new manager tbf - he's an ex-player of ours and what he has achieved at Cov has been brilliant... deserves a chance to manage in the Prem - seems to have a great eye for talent ...
Saka at left-back after everyone has moaned about playing players out of position? Might work on Football Manager. He needed to just take Mitchell for when Shaw inevitably strained his jaw eating currywurst.
... well apart from the first bit - Wrighty pointing out that it's the position he first broke through at Arsenal with...and I'll be far happier with him up against the likes of Yamal and Dembele than pedestrian Tripps ... ... but I fully agree on Mitchell
of the more recent ones, 2010 WC didn't make it out the group, 2014 WC knocked out in R16 4-1, 2016 EC knocked out in R16 by Iceland.
One of the world’s best wingers would have an absolute field day against a bloke who anyone would only consider playing there because he played there as a kid several years ago. No serious manager would do it in a back four.
These are the last four games against Denmark, why was we expecting anything different... 08 Sep 2020Denmark v EnglandD0-0UEFA Nations League14 Oct 2020England v DenmarkL0-1UEFA Nations League07 Jul 2021England v DenmarkW2-1UEFA European Championship20 Jun 2024Denmark v EnglandD1-1UEFA European Championship These are the last four games against Slovenia, again why were we expecting anything different...we've only scored ONE goal against them in the last three games, they've scored none... 14 Jun 2015Slovenia v EnglandW2-3UEFA European Championship11 Oct 2016Slovenia v EnglandD0-0FIFA World Cup05 Oct 2017England v SloveniaW1-0FIFA World Cup25 Jun 2024England v SloveniaD0-0UEFA European Championship I can't find any record v Serbia so we have nowt to go on.
We just about got out of the softest group possible in 2010 but it was abysmal. Rob Green throwing one in against America and a 0-0 against Algeria worse than last night.
The sense of entitlement and the complete lack of understanding international tournament football is both hilarious and sad.
It doesn't take a genius, it's been fairly obvious for 30+ years, but what should I expect from someone who believes Farage is going to save him.
I don’t think it’s wrong to expect to play better and beat Slovenia with the players we have. They’ve got second tier players and not even top second tier teams.
I’ll park it there. You’ve been troubled for days. Not having a pop, I get like that myself. You clearly aren’t in a good place. Take care of yourself.
Only faced nine shots on target and not many serious saves to make which is a credit to the defence I guess even not playing against hugely ambitious teams.
It will be funny if Southgate wins the trophy, lots of material in here for the bantz. Anyway, scribbled out my cross for Labour now and voted Farage. #HeLies
