I would had this down as a classic encounter as well…

It’s a great show, such a shame it’s been cancelled. Hopefully it gets re-picked up elsewhere.

We‘re going to New York in August next year (we’re going to see Oasis)… staying at the new Hard Rock hotel and it’s costing £1.6k for the 2 of us for 4 nights. I should have got somewhere cheaper really, I’ll be spending zero time in it.

Given Trent has played in every game for us so far, it’d be nice for him to get a 15 min rest at the end.

Dixon will praise Walker.

It’s the same issues had in the summer. The wingers aren’t prepared to go past Kane (Grealish and Palmer doing extactly what Saka and Foden did), Kane drops deep and takes Bellingham’s space. It England kept the ball in the final 3rd for long periods like Man City, it likely wouldn’t be a problem, it just ends up all being a slow ponderous mess. Muduake, Gordon, Watkins…somebody needs to be playing who is prepared to make runs in behind and stretch it.

Thats down would be down to him. If he wants to continue playing for England, you’d hope he’d back himself to get into our or another top sides first 11.

I’ve quite liked Angel Gomes since the u21 tournament England won the other summer. He’s out of contract in June. Maybe wouldn’t be a starter for us, I think he’d be better squad player than some we currently have. It’d be funny to piss the mancs off as well, given they let him go on a free.

I hadn’t seen these. That kerfuffle outside his box where Colwill bailed him out and the corner where he misses about 12 punches are shockingly bad.

Gotta laugh T-Rex arms has been dropped. Trent at left back though, urgh...

Where would he potentially play for us? The above reads like he wants to be Szoboszlai but we’d want him to be next to Mac Allister & Gravenberch. I’m still unsure what to make of our midfield. I’m really happy with Mac Allister & Gravenberch, I’m not convinced with any of the options if they were ever out, we lost control when Mac Allister went off at Palace. I like Jones, I think he’s better further forward. Despite his endeavour, Szoboszlai isn’t doing it for me with the ball, too casual and too many poor decisions. I think Elliott could do a really good job there, he works really hard, he obviously won’t eat up the ground like Szoboszlai does.

To me the answer is clear, it England are serious about winning the 2026 World Cup and / or the 2028 Euros, which are being held in the UK, then yes, yes the should. The next manager’s big decision is how to get Foden, Bellingham & Palmer all in the same team. Not dismisilar to Gerrard, Lampard & Scholes. Guardiola would work it out (although the fact he doesn’t seem to get on with Palmer makes it easier…)

Talk of Trent starting at left back today.

My favourites are sushi and steak meals. I don’t mind paying extra for them because I know they are more expensive dishes, however, paying a premium in the US is significantly better than one in the UK.
