    Steven Gerrard is being heavily linked with the Polish national team job.
    Someone's been on the Tyskie... <whistle>

    How many more players are Chelsea importing I wonder? Will they ever run out of money?

    Richarlison's overhead kick against Serbia has become our yearly Puskas nomination this time.

    I am glad they are moving away from 3 team groups.

    Nothing infuriates CS educated bods more than
    NOT having "powers of two" . <grr>
    If FIFA want to be greedy, have 16 groups of 4 and be done with it.

    I know that Southgate likes to pick players that have done well for him in the past.
    Maguire and Phillips, though? Doing their clubs a favour by giving them some game time.

    England U21s should have a pretty strong squad tomorrow, I'd have thought.

    Oh God, it’s that time again :frown:
    The four centre backs are Maguire, Stones (Southgate’s preferred pairing), Dier & Guehi. None are setting the world alight for their clubs.
    But who else is there?
    Dunk does will for Brighton, but does he have the attributes for international football? He wouldn’t be suited to 4-4-2 or 4-3-3
    Gomez is a liability at Liverpool.
    The best defences in the PL don’t have much English representation.

    Tomori's the obvious omission. Kilman's been good for Wolves, too.
    Other PL CBs include Mings, Konsa, Tarkowski, Coady and Adarabaiyo. Not great, really.

    Centre backs are definitely the weak link for England.

    Tomori was good against us - I realise that wasn't difficult but I would suggest that he and Kilman are both better long term bets than Dier.
