Have the club said anything about Ramsdales injury/surgery? Do we know that he definitely had the surgery?
Anyone watch the U21 game against Spain? Tyler played the first 68 minutes or so. Wonder how he got on.
Pretty much so. Tyler put an effort over according to this report. https://www.englandfootball.com/articles/2024/Nov/15/england-mu21s-spain-live-report-20241511 "A string of saves from James Beadle and a stubborn Young Lions rear guard kept out the hosts, who have been beaten once at home in the last three years. The Young Lions were much improved in the early stages of the second half and a fine passage of play ended with debutant Dibling whistling a left-footed shot over the bar." In Almere to take on the Netherlands on Monday night. Bit of a stretch for us but should be televised. Kicks off at 5:45pm the game will be shown live on England YouTube and The FA Player.
I was going to say, well at least the 5 at the back will be out of the window now but maybe RM will pull another rabbit out to retain.
Good chance we are on the end of our first proper thrashing. McCarthy in for Ramsdale. But do we just revert to a back 4 and Stephens takes Bednareks position in the team. Would assume this would be a game that we’d play as many defenders as possible though but who comes in as the third CB. ABK and Edward’s appear to be on the outskirts for different reasons so it’ll likely be Wood. Our team is going to be so championship v the best team in the league what could possibly go wrong…
It could possibly go wrong for Liverpool but it probable won't. Stranger things happen at sea some will say but the game is on land on the hallowed turf of St Mary's so nautical outcomes unlikely.
McCarthy back to steady the ship, like he did last season? There’s a short article in the Echo about Woods being close, so he might be the replacement for Bedders. Having said that, didn’t Charlie Taylor play in a back three at Burnley? I might be mistaken but I think I have seen THB talking about playing alongside him, unless he was just referring to him being in the same defence. Given the pace of Salah, I think we need 3 left backs.
West Ham and Southampton are both chasing 16-year-old twins Cole and Dylan Williams with the Scottish midfield pair currently at Airdrie. (Sun)
