He’s played left wing back before.

Saka on the left, Trent on the right.

Loads of people he could have chosen though. At this point, I’d be debating going three at the back, or swap Saka to left back but let him attack. This system is horse poop and it isn’t working,

Adam Wharton is left footed isn’t he. Southgate should have tried him at left back, as it would have been a better experiment than trying to turn Trent into Kalvin bloody Phillips.

Walker / Foden / Stones have I’d imagine.

He isn’t a left back, he’s always coming inside.

I’d rather play a left footed winger at left back than a right footed defender. We are all over the shop.

He’s looked more like a Junior Lewis / Neil Danns combination since!

We don’t play with freedom at all. The passing is sloppy, ponderous, movement is slow. 15/16 Leicester would rip this team to bits.

I said it the other day, the bloke presses worse than a pre world war 2 iron.

France enters the chat ….

Infrastructure is good. I’ll agree he might need some new tools to work with though.

This has been bubbling for a while now and I think it needs to be said. Money won’t buy you success. It may however allow you to have more rolls of the dice until you get it right. Manchester City have spent over £500m on defenders alone since the Saudi takeover, that’s insane. Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Spurs etc have all thrown money at it and the league can only have one winner. Football is a crazy world. It’s entirely pointless but fans lap up the Sky Sports and social media hype for transfer like it’s some sort of circus spectacle. I’ve just been reading that Lookman is now valued at over £50m! One season of decent form in Italy, and he’s worth 5 times what he was when we had him on loan. Is he realistically that much better than Fatawu?!? One persons rubbish, is another persons gold. You can build a team, a squad even for next to nothing if done correctly and a good coach is given time. We did it on a budget. Any team is capable but everyone wants to get into the todger swinging contest of splashing cash like they want to burn through money whilst drunk in a casino. A player who’s purchased for £100m, doesn’t mean they’re any better than someone you picked up for £1. We all all human and form, ability, pressure etc all impact what happens on a day to day basis. Patience is required and we need to give Cooper that. Rome wasn’t built on a day but he has the right infrastructure with Seagrave to build a legacy.

THIS IS TOTALLY SHIT!

You’re having a laugh! He waits until the seatbelt sign has allowed him to take it off.

Neither have had a lot to do, in what has been an horrendous game. VK gifted us a chance that lead to the goal.

I’d rather us not qualify than play like this. It’s the hope that kills you.

Someone needs to have a word. What is going on here?!

He is. I meant as in not a lot (if at all) better than Justin or Ricardo.

Kane can’t press, so will never win anything at club level. This gives issues elsewhere, as the Denmark defence is static.

Shock as Watkins adds a press!

This is going to open up now.

No idea but he’s actually dragged Kane

Drag Trippier, move Walker to a centre back. Bowen for Saka Tripper for Eze

I wish I wasn’t allergic to beer for games like this!
