Where would this Ireland team finish in the Bundesliga? Or Finland, Slovakia, Slovenia? Are they all better than a midtable German club, I don't think so.

You'd never have thought Kane is getting a goal a game for Bayern would you. He looks really below par. Don't think I can remember his last good performance for England.

TAA will be the main RB under Tuchel I've got no doubt about that. Southgates loyalty to Walkers pace are the reason he doesn't have another 25 caps already to his name. I'll be shocked if Tino plays any games at the World Cup, good chance of going though.

Hall has a massive chance. It's his to lose in some ways. Tino has a huge uphill battle on his hands that's he's very likely to lose unless injuries occur to TAA and James (very likely) before the tournament.

Surely would've been worth giving Harwood-Bellis or Quansah a go over Walker.

Looking at the other defenders that were selected there's a good chance he plays a full 90 minutes in one of the games. Rico Lewis won't be getting in at RB ahead of TAA or Walker so you'd imagine he's there to play LB. Colwill could play there but considering the lack of CB options with Stones out I can't see it.

I think the fact that Pep was touted about for a couple of days and know we end up with Tuchel makes it slightly underwhelming. HOWEVER, I think its a decent enough appointment considering the lack of options around.

We aren't making 4th without some big improvement in our performances and at least one signing in January. Chelsea, Villa or even Spurs are in a better place to get that spot right now.

Refs really have to stop giving fouls for things like that. Werners hand hits the side of Balebas neck as he turns. It's not a foul, it's only because he goes down screaming that he gets it given. Absolutely ridiculous.

But both of those would surely fall into the Osula category? So would never actually get any game time. We need proven top league (ideally prem) players to move this team forward now.

And Burn.

Miggy was better than Barnes and was better than him against Wimbledon as well. Barnes is beginning to frustrate me.

Really poor in the final third. Poor weight of passing, poor finishing. There's got to be a better way for us to approach teams like this. Because what we are currently doing does not work. Bruno MOTM, closely followed by Burn.

Oh well. Shit happens. Not like we particularly deserve to be infront anyway.

He absolutely should. Even if he misses he still should have.
