I’d take him to Russia, easily.

I hope he doesn’t go. He’ll be in the shop window if he does go, and Ashley would sell him before selling the club.

 

Would be very bitter of us to not want him to go in case he does well and clubs come calling. I do understand the logic, just don't agree with it.

I hope he does go and of all the ‘candidates’ he is performing the best at the moment. He deserves it. If he is to leave it will happen regardless. Unless Ashley sells I can’t see him here long anyway, he’s far too good for us as is Rafa.

He was superb today, him and Lejune. Lascelles is so dominant in the air and he’s becoming very tough and cynical almost as well, but in a no nonsense way.

 

Noticed that today and not just with him. We are starting to play at the periphery of the rules and giving all opponents a hard time physically. We’ve been a soft touch for too long!

Aye, it’s notciebale throughout our team now, all the players play that kind of game. Tough, cynical, but fair within the rules. Today Lascelles was very tough on their forward, which could have ruled on a foul against a few times, but he was cute and cleared mostly with his head which I’ve always been taught if you do shove or nudge but win the header, the ref is less likely to penalise you. Shearer was great at that as a striker.

Just an unreal bloke man. He was the only one I saw who noticed the corner flag hit the person after Ritchie destroyed it and asked if they were okay. Last man on the pitch every game. Walking that pitch invader off after Man U with his arm around him. He's a credit in pretty much everything he does, absolute hero.

Can't see him getting in the England squad. Smalling was left out of the last squad for not being good enough with the ball and I don't think Lascelles is any better, even if he has improved. The England squad seems like a bit of a closed shop, whereby they've decided on a pool of players at the various levels and if you're not in them, you never will be. The exception to that, oddly, is Jack Cork, but I think that says more about our midfield options than anything.

 

He certainly deserves a cap though as I think he's really under appreciated outside of the region - how many English captains are there in the Premier League? How many captains are there under the age of 25? England could do a lot worse (and probably will) but we'll take someone like Joe Gomez because he's in the Under 21 squad. It's ludicrous.

Which is why england always fail in major tournements.

Just looked at the last England squad. 

 

Stones

Maguire

Keane

Cahill

Jones

Gomez

 

If fit I reckon 4 of the first 5 go. 

 

Personally think Cahill, Gomez and Keane shouldn’t be going.

 

Only Maguire and Keane been playing regularly in the last month out of them, so they'll only get picked on reputation and Southgate wanting to give them game time.

 

On recent form it should be:

 

Mee

Lascelles

Maguire

Mawson

Dunk

Tarkowski

 

Not that it'll happen
