For all the talk about that divvy playing shite I'd say Mainoo has been equally as poor


He’s a tidy enough player on the ball but he’s abject off it. Painful to watch.

Funnily enough I think it’s been the other way round today. I feel like the key difference between Mainoo and, say, Anderson is discipline with ball retention.

doesn't show enough for it either. Think we have loads of more effective players for that position to be honest.

I presume they stopped the clock for the drinks break. Wasn’t paying attention.

 

It’s still really glaring when you see how much time is added on in internationals compared to the Premier League.

Gets walked past for the goal though and then doesn’t get back in to cut it out. Fine margins but that’s what international football is. 
 

If anything England have given the all to Anderson too much IMO. All been a bit safe with the front 4 either doing nowt or getting in each others way. Rogers might as well not be playing.

Can Cole Palmer and his fucking squire haircut feck off, overrated twonk.

 

Aye him and Foden are fighting for their place, England's teamwork is a worry.

It’s a cliche but Mainoo is nowhere near this squad if he doesn’t play for Man Utd 


Like Garner?

 

I dunno. I think there are a lot of players who are much of a muchness. Loftus-Cheek got a chance a few matches ago, was shite and we haven’t seen him again. I think Tuchel’s just looking at a lot of players.

If I’m going to Milner it, I think it’s fair to say it’s another completely different team playing together. Part of the reason Japan look so good as a team is that this is, AFAIK, their team. I don’t think it’s a surprise that Palmer and Mainoo are looking a bit off it as they and Foden are probably the least familiar with things. In contrast, Gordon is playing his usual role and looks comfortable.

Yeah, Rogers has been completely uninvolved. I think some of that and the amount of ball Anderson is getting is because of Japan’s positioning. Need to use the wide backs better which has started to happen.

 

We’re very much seeing a A/B team playing an A team.

usually works pretty well

And if he gets injured?

 

Are we watching the backup plan right now?
