We got Landon Donovan on co comms here. It's awful, grating.

Kroos retiring after this tournament is a joke.

Brazil don't have any 9s? Vini down the middle is such a waste of his talents.

Toon if you says he’s good enough thats more more than though for me. and a good enough then that’s all i need. You have more than enough credit

its a good questionu. Maddison worked. Fine Blackburn fella could replicate it( sorry not tryin to butcher his name) but that this point I think we’re in the position to the get the next Jamisson on a cheap. If it doesnt work,!oak him Ipswich. We’re in the position where we can take calculated risks. We’re Newcatle united. Dont forget. .

Think think we’re at the level where we could take Blackburn’s Hungarian/English Am brotha and take minimal losses whether he flops in the Prem or no ala a Jason Scotland

If you really hate rio and Man Utd alike check out the worst podcast ever conceived between Steven Howson and Ashley Williams for some extra ‘hatefeul’? Two absolute muppets getting paid thousands to talk about whether aliens exist and other shit like earth flat type conspiracies. Brain cells will disappear within seconds of the podcast starting. I respected Rio as a player but this new man is the epitome of cringe and he’s passing it down to the next generations of “influencers” which is worrying.

Apparently that Columbus Crew manager is supposed to be hot shit.

Aye, that might be the best nutmeg I've ever seen.

What a tackle from Hummels

Keepers are such fannies nowadays.

He’s like their Darren Fletcher.

They outplayed us twice tbf

Dortmund have our luck.

Wouldn't that make throw ins like corners?

Most fragile keeper in world football.

But when he plays for England, he wont have that free role. What’s Foden’s position? LW? The screamer he scored against Man U was on the right side. He’ll be battling against full backs for England, something he’s not accustomed to. Gordon thrives on that. Foden will be physically smothered if he’s stuck on the left.

What was it? Because on Fridays when I’m watching Champo football, it’s quick, it’s zippy, it’s technically brilliant. On Saturdays when I’m watching Premier League, it’s the battle of the tactics. This game may be an anomaly because of the stakes at hand. It became a cagey affair because it’s no one wants to make a mistake. It’s not usually like that.

Gonna say it and I don’t care if anyone agrees but my front six for England is Rice Mainoo Bellingham, Gordon Kane Saka Foden the lightweight powderpuff can hold bench. Never seen him take a player on like Gordon can does. System player to run into space. Perfect for Pep, not for Gareth. yes Gareth is shit and should be able to find a role for Foden but since he is shit what’s the point of putting him on the left where he won’t contribute. Gordon’s a better player out there.

That’s not what we’re talking about though. And of course he was. He’s a thug and a bully. But I don’t care about all that, if I hear good punditry, I hear good punditry no matter who it is.

Also Deeney basically told Warnock to shit up today. Warnock went on about how “today’s game the goalkeepers are passing the ball to the centrebacks and bla bla” and Deeney said “it’s bot about you Neil” this is the way the game is played now. Analyze it. That’s your job at this current moment.

He is! I hate him on a personal basis for his previous violent crimes where he was clearly the aggressor but when he’s talking football, he’s talking sense. No cliches, he’s actually quite the complex pundit, talking about about how the defender made an error and how the attacker reacted. He’s a striker and seems to know the ins and outs of being such so seeing his enthusiasm for striking technique and movement is a breath of fresh air. he’s not talking about “swaz tekkers” and laughing like a characature like Micah Richards. He’s talking football. That I can respect.

My first ever SJP experience fans were screaming “why are you bring him on? He’s 5’2”. Will never forget it.

We also got top four thanks to points like that.

Where do they get nine minutes from? They don’t have VAR in this do they?
