54

According to TransferMarkt he missed 162 days and 34 games with a shoulder injury in the 18/19 season with Burnley

To be honest, before he got them two back to back injuries, I remember him being really commanding of his box, since then though he's stayed on his goal-line, hopefully given the time since that last injury he's a bit more confident in hos box.

I don't know if I like the fact that this doesn't feel special at all, and i'm not filled with adrenaline right now

Absolutely, Tino or Bruno easily for me

Basically, I have no concerns with him starting to be honest, his kicking is actually better then Pope's too which is a plus. Only concern with him is that since his long term injury, he's not been the most commanding of his box, hopefully he's back to that form he showed before it.

I actually don't think it was his best game today, but he's got the lovely knack of being in the right place at the right time, long may it continue.

12 injuries, a bare 11, a 17 year old starting in CM, and we've only just beat dominated Chelsea and Man United, and got fighting point away at PSG. Some lad.

I'm glad we kept Dubs, because that looked a bad injury.

Fucking hell, he's getting better game after game.

Bit nervy at the end there, but we more than deserved that win, could have been 5-0 on another day, but a very important win, and this injury stricken team, on its knees, have been unbelievable this last week. Man United though, woof, they are so bad, unbelievably bad. They offered the square root of fuck all, where so easy to play through time and again. The amount of times our midfield had a player on them with their back to goal but then being able to turn around into space was ridiculous, Rashford was absolutely dire, Fernandes didn't want to know, and the whole team just lacked any real effort. Its glorious how bad they are. Honestly Burnley offered more threat.

How are we not ahead This feels very much like the game last season, dominant first half without putting the ball in the back of the net, then going on in the second half and getting the win. Hopefully its follows the same pattern in this game.

Yeah, I know they have, but Fernandes is genuinely world class, if not a stroppy teenager, and Shaw is one of the leagues best LB's like

Cooper on the ropes you'd imagine.

Fernandes obviously would, maybe Shaw too, and Rashford when he's on form (not the current version) other then that I'm not sure I'd take anyone else in your starting lineup.

Wan-Bissaka will probably be to try and stop Gordon.

Some great groups there like.

Decent yet competitive group.

Spain, Croatia, Italy, Albania is some group.

Germany Vs Scotland opening game.

McManaman
