Trent being out isn’t the end of the world for England, Trippier is another strong attacking RB and Walker and James are two more well rounded options should we want to go that way. Always thought Lingard was a decent player, clearly had a bit of a purple patch this season on loan though, not sure he’s ever been quite that good before. Usually looks tidy for England. Would rather we take another deep midfielder, maybe JWP, if Trent isn’t going though.
TAA can’t defend - and if England progress a full back who can is needed. It may be a blessing in disguise. We didn’t need four right backs in any scenario. Lingard deserves a chance on form. He’s at the level he was at the 2018 WC when he looked a goal threat. Although I think Ward-Prowse might be a better bet. Someone who might retain the ball and is the best available at set pieces.
I wasn't expecting much from Andorra v Ireland, as the current Eire manager is ****ing awful, but it's still managed to disappoint me. Awful.
Finished 1-4, as Horgan and Knight set each other up for goals after Parrott was subbed off with ten minutes to go. Kenny should still **** off. Embarrassing stuff, despite the eventual result and his first win after 12 games.
It's been reported that way in a few places, but it's Knight. Doherty passes it to him, then he crosses it.
That's Paulo Guerrero, if anyone's wondering. Peru's all time leading goalscorer, with 38 in 103 matches. Played for Bayern and Hamburg, then went back to South America to play in Brazil. Colombia won 3-0, despite having a man sent off just before the hour. They'd already scored all their goals. Sanchez played the full 90 alongside Everton's Yerry Mina, who got the opener. Seems to be their preferred centre-half pairing. Argentina drew 1-1 with Chile. Messi and former scum and other scum player Alexis Sanchez getting the goals. Foyth played 80 minutes at right-back before being subbed for Nahuel Molina, who plays for Udinese. Good to see that he's recovered from his punishment in the Europa League final.
