A very strange nation that constantly reeks of insecurity

Disappointing overall. USA arnt good, plan A team who have nothing when they gas. Reminded me a lot of the Scotland game in the euros. We clearly let them play first half and expected them to tire around the hour mark but we just were not there tonight enough to win this. All about the Wales game for me, if it’s more of what we saw tonight and we won’t go far. Gotta feeling we step it up though.

The Southgate hate is so quick to come out like

Won’t happen due to his personality alone

They can’t even hide it anymore

The opposite

What a fucking save, great game so far

Get on the Saudis

The added on time statistics after this WC are gonna be wild, every game seems to have +10 almost.

Enjoying this game

Can’t wait to see Yedlin with space and time to get a cross in only to see it go out for a throw in

Gotta say the refs have been tosh so far

24?

Still the fact he gave testimony at all would suggests they are aware the evidence is in Mendys favour, no chance Pep just makes a blind statement because if he’s convicted it’s awful pr.

Well, the key word there I suppose is alleged. Until he’s convicted of something he’s innocent, Id suggest the evidence is in his favour if Pep went public over it.

Perfect

What an idiot

From Hendrick to Endrick

It often makes you the opposite

Someone needs to work out the last time our GD was this high

We paid that before Miggy got Howe’d. There were noises about including both Wilson and Isak in a starting 11 iirc? I’d assumed he was signed to start on the right when Wilson’s fit. Also with Wilson’s fitness record back up is the wrong word, he’d be expected to play as many games as Wilson does at ST.

Indeed this is true and I absolutely agree it’s the way forward. Just not convinced that Maddison has the attributes to adapt with in terms of the CM role, however he is clearly fancied by Howe so there’s obviously an idea there. Also the possibility we could be using a different formation against certain teams as we move forward, a 4/2/3/1 might be likely and would alleviate some of the stress on our fitness against opposition at the lower end of the table as the press wouldn’t have to be as intense from the midfield 3. Maddison would be perfect behind the striker in this case.

I don’t think he’ll start until Wilson needs rest or is injured, cup games he probably will. I would have said there’s a chance he starts on the right but he won’t with Miggy in this kind of form.

When we were linked to Maddison in the summer I expect he was identified as a player who could play in place of Miggy on the right and cover one of the front 2 CM roles if need be, he would need to adapt to fit into our CM role without playing a quality DM behind him. The same doubts I had with Paqueta basically.

I'd prefer you could guarantee me that our current key players stay fit which gives me far more confidence than a new signing
