He could get 200 caps and not have an easier game. But he looks solid in a 3, gives him a bit of protection from.being caught 1v1

Even Subbuteo knows it

Still injured. Only had one training session so far.

We might be out by the time he's fit I never understand why we take half fit players. Did it in 2016 when Drinkwater got dropped for Henderson who was injured til the last game of the season.

Not with Kelly Somers on screen

That average position graphic says it all. Nobody's imagining it or being overly critical, Southgate is a handbrake on this side. Make Klopp an offer he can't refuse.

Think it was Emmanuel Petit saying that the other day. We're not a pressing side, not a passing side and Southgate doesn't seem to have a plan, reactive not proactive. Let's be honest, we've been here before. There's at least 3 other sides better than us.

Last time he was down here he got marked out the game, got all whiny with the ref and had a kick out when he didn't get the decisions. Not as good as he thinks he is, I'd have Palmer in ahead of him.

Love to see Big Jan put that petulant little s#it in row C

I was talking about Bohely.

Some fans will have been negative whoever came in. And the ones annoying me are those who are mardy because it's not Potter. Boohoo, move on. Hoping Cooper does enough to get a few eating humble pie, especially the moronic relegation comments.

You can deny it. Did well with England youth and got a piss poor Forest side up when they'd been abysmal for 23 years. Keeping them up with a basket case owner buying random players (something Potter struggled with) was arguably an even bigger achievement.

Anybody that uses the reasoning "he wasn't good enough for Forest" isn't worth having a debate with, nobody is good enough for Maranakis. O'Neill wasn't good enough for him. Let's have it right, Pearson wasn't good enough for Southampton. Half our managers haven't been good enough elsewhere. It's a pretty pathetic argument.

Yeah but free beers and donuts

Harry Winks got his wish 😂

We should forget negotiating with Wilf and buy this guy out of his Saudi deal. 33(?) and still gliding round the pitch winning every lose ball.

Yes I think they ended up paying £70m for Kepa or something like that.

He's been LCB, Kristiansen was at LB for most of the game. He was totally exposed as soon as Kristiansen went off

Pretty sure that was the season we'd had interest in KS from a couple of top clubs and someone like Ben Hamer was our only back up at the time. It's not that we bought him, as ever with us it's the fee we paid. He'd been at Liverpool, played for Wales and had that incredible season where he was POTS for Huddersfield. I'm sure we scouted him and didn't just buy him at random......😑

Must be Pat Nevin if it's 5, Ally's on the telly.

"I don't know how he gets round the defender there" I do Ally. He's slower than a snail carrying some heavy shopping bags. Vesty's having a mare here. Free header from a corner missed, two weak clearances gave them an early chance and then the equaliser and he's got the turning circle of the Titanic.

Nah, won't be any good at Premier League level. The left back looks pretty handy though.

Because the BBC have got the game and unlike in some countries where they'll actually mention other channels, our lot still childishly pretend they're the only broadcaster and England coverage keeps people tuned in. Also when you have Eni Aluko there you have to be able to dip into her valuable insight into tempo, tactics and is Trent good enough.

The one in WSC is pretty decent

It can only be a matter of hours before someone unearths that picture of the "official" fixture document and "leaks" all the fixtures again. I genuinely don't care who's first up, as long as we get Liverpool at Christmas and then again in Feb, I'll know everything is right with the world.
