Clearly something not quite right between the ears, it was evident for a good few years he has the ability.

Just posted this on the World Cup thread.

I’m sure everyone’s seen all the ‘Salt Bae’ stuff. What a narcissistic little whopper.

I’d keep Eccles but think we should be looking to move the rest on. Looking forward to the summer rebuild to be honest.

At the age of 24?

It was exactly the game Tavares suits. FWIW I don’t think he’s particularly good but would have applied pressure and meant their defence couldn’t push into our half for what seemed like the last 30 mins.

Preferred Stones.

Behave. Nowt to do with Fadz, the defence wasn’t really the issue. Wave after wave of attack as the midfield and forwards pretty much downed tools.

Double change - Palmer and Tavares for O’Hare and Allen.

Robins is also in the privileged position to be able to change it.

Massive fan of Robins but I also put the draw all on his shoulders. Needed changes far sooner. I don’t really rate Tavares but that was the game for him - drag their defence back a bit further.

Exactly. Don’t like Piers Morgan, aware he has a programme on Talk TV, choose not to watch it. Edit: might be GB News. Still.

I fall into this ballpark. Not really fussed by them enough to ‘pick a side’. They can do what they like. Just the fact that the narrative is “outsider comes in and steals unsuspecting prince” I find weird. Do we assume this because he’s now a mature man who doesn’t hop round dressed as a nazi?

Car tyres being so expensive. Got a puncture and everywhere seems to be wanting £150 for a Pirelli.

Boosh has taken it too far this time.

Part of it will be down to coaching ability. Past teams full of stars but with seemingly no plan to play to any of their strengths. He’s fortunate that a lot of the current Argentina players are basically workhorses who complement his style well. On face value, Lautaro Martinez should be ahead...

How does Peter Walton still get work?

Is there an alternative option of retaining Southgate but freshening up the coaching staff? Clearly from a motivational perspective Southgate is good and calms the players, you can see that from the environment created. A stronger tactician in the staff could be what is needed.

Maddison could have been the difference maker but given he’s not been involved in the squad prior to this tournament it was always an uphill battle. Think he could become more involved ahead of Euro 2024. Gallagher was a bizarre one. Coady I think was taken more for his cheerleading...

Netherlands play to a plan well. Not the great flowing football of time gone by but I fancy them to beat Argentina.
