Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

Nicholas Jackson tore him a new one in the FA Cup Q/F just by running at him and past him ... just can't afford him to be isolated 1 v 1 ...

 

I've got a free quid bet which I'm gonna do a ridiculous bet builder with for our match.

 

Not really - neither played that season ...

 

27th tournament in a row where Denmark having a bloke named Thomas Delaney is funny.

Lee Dixon just said Trent is the best passer in world football. I’m going for a walk.

 

Saka to score
TAA to have a shot on target
Rice to be booked
Tadic to win 2 fouls

80/1

 

Challenging **** that, but what ever gets you off I suppose.

 

Nah Sucky ****s over that quick corner against Barcelona all the time.

 

Do you reckon they just employ Eni Aluko to wind people up?

 

Just to annoy Joey Barton.

 

Yes

 

Hope it works - but the team line-up does carry a whiff of shoehorning the most well known players in .... just hope it's not unbalanced as a result ...

 

Tadic not playing, who leaves their captain out FFS.

Can see this being a tough match. Serbia have some good players and will be fired up from Denmark dropping points.

 

I've been fairly critical of his "defending" over the years but in fairness if it's him or the Kelvin Phillips alongside Declan Rice I know who I'm picking. I think it's an interesting dynamic which could work well and I'm hoping that when Stones steps forwards into CDM and beyond (as he does for City) then Walker will fall into a RCB position and TAA cover the RWB role as they also cover those positions pretty regularly too. A kind of dynamic system where players can actually play to their strengths would be shockingly good to see.

I actually really like TAA on the ball. There, I said it. I just hope he isn't tracking a good player back into the box at any point in the tournament though.

 

Agree with all of this. Wouldn't want him in defence but like the idea of him getting on the ball in midfield where Rice can do all the dirty work.

 

Why we playing Saka, get Cole Palmer on!

 

It’s okay, he took a quick corner once.

 

Probably cos he's been one of our best players at the previous two tournaments.

 

Yeah I think that's a good position for TAA. Especially with Rice next to him in a holding position.
