Good save

Paquetas 15th foul

Does Konsa always look nervous.

Oooh

Wow, Brazil always dangerous.

Gordon has seen plenty of the ball. Most of the good attacking play down the left side.

Chilwell is a useless twat.

Nah he's just making it slightly less obvious than Saka

I think Brazil will beat us, really hope to see Endrick, and Savio. Endrick they're saying is a super talent.

No, I mean international countries represent their nation, usually by their flag! You're right that the three lions have been a staple. But as you put, "doesn't always use the English flag," so in that case if you're using the flag use it correctly, if not, do not include it at all, like you mention it hasn't always been historically.

Not sure Southgate can make the claim the most important part of the kit is the three lions? Every single nation represents its flag, I can't imagine Deschamps saying the most important part of the France kit is the cock?

Arsenal think they're signing Isak..........

Banksyesque

Yes, a few times, it's not Rashford or Greenwood levels of impact. I know you're a Man Utd fan so you're bound to disagree. I do like Elliott at Liverpool, and I think he should get a chance at some point, hopefully Mainoo is chosen during these friendlys or given minutes, and I can maybe see more, as many clearly think he's got something. ??

Everytime he plays for the u21s he's literally one of the best players. Southgate used to back the route through the England system? Mainoo thing seems hype to me. What was the mocking thing, I don't recall ?

Don't get the drama around him? Harvey Elliott at Liverpool deserves a shout ahead of him.

Sick of Eddie playing the injury card. There's nowt up with him.

Nice one Ando, the social media replies are usually full of other fans or Mackem replies, seems though there are a few thick Mags out there buying into this noise.

Forest caused a lot of the problems themselves, completely killed off their promotion squad and replaced them with like 20+ players, gave stupid salaries to the likes of Lingard, signing Dennis for 20m, Richards with a broken foot, sacking Cooper, just ridiculous leadership from the top.

Reintroduce the foreign player rule from the 90s in your starting eleven. That would really drive teams to look to their academy and grow the English players. Remember it drove Fergie mad in the 90s. Maximum of five in your starting eleven. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/football/2000/jul/02/newsstory.sport It was discussed in more recent times in the above article, but the Premier league and the likes of Chelsea didn't like the idea.

Think it was during the late aftermath, people were still isolated etc, remember Howe missing his first home game. I was also thinking it would have been harder to attract work, plus those who you'd need to get the things in place you speak of further up, would also have had contracts on hold that would need completing before taking on more. You gotta consider the knock on effect, especially those huge redevelopment projects, they take years anyway, pushing work further back.

Covid? Shave 2/3 years off, puts us back at the start.

He's 20, he was thrown in at 17, labelled to have big potential. Think he's linked with Fulham. If we profile him he'll fail the bellend test as you alluded to. French football expert Jonathan Johnson has warned that Cherki's character would have the potential to cause issues in United's dressing room, Manchester Utd and Newcastle are keeping tabs on Lyon's Rayan Cherki who has "massive attitude problems", a report claims.

The only likely teams I could see triggering the 100m release is Man City, Madrid. Madrid don't actually need him, there midfield is set for a long time Tchouaméni, Valverde, Camavinga, Bellingham, but they do have two ageing, in Modric and Kroos who could be replaced. Man City on the other hand could really do with having the extra quality in that area having only Rodri and Kovacic, I guess with getting it wrong with Phillips, and now Nunes, they possibly will be looking at Bruno who I believe would have no problems playing in their side. It's probably a no brainer for Man City, they'll be looking at Bruno and Paqueta, City possibly shot themselves in the foot not triggering Douglas Luiz buy back before 2021, he's now progressed to be a tidy midfielder at the age of 25, its reported they have a sell on clause though.

Just played the best team in football with many key players missing, away from home where they rarely ever lose a match, confidence going in somewhat low, we were dominated in possession but reduced them to two lucky goals, and on another day Isak could score the opportunity's he was presented with? This was always going to be an uphill struggle, even if we could have put our absolute best out this evening, we would have still had a huge challenge. Man City are on a different level to us, our fans need to know our lane and stop being such deluded fuckwits, this is off the back of the Eddie Howe must go shit gathering pace on Twitter. They do my head in, a loss here or there and they're waiting to pounce like sad little twats, starting to wish we never qualified for the champions league, it's given so many a false sense of entitlement, lack of humility. Such a shame those same fans no doubt showering Howe with admiration, love, and praise after the Leicester game last season, all forget so quickly, even when the poor fella has his hands tied with a season of relentless problems. Please don't be one of them, resist these fucking vampires.
