    Denmark look good but we’d never be undone like the Czechs are. We’d beat Denmark.

    He looked better and better the more he played. Clearly had the right work rate so attitude fits already, and showed glimpses of what he’s capable of ability wise. Young too, so plenty of time to develop. Not sure why anyone would complain. Clueless. He came here last season and obviously...

    Like the leaked team - he can seemingly from nowhere being in a player like Sancho, as he feels pace is the way to go tonight. And if that doesn’t work, Grealish and Foden are two real game changers who offer something different from Sterling and Sancho. Great place to be. Bring it on (even...

    Transfer Rumour Incoming - Waghorn Confirmed

    One big negative - some of the nicknames used for him throughout this thread.

    Transfer Rumour Incoming - Waghorn Confirmed

    Good signing. In some ways I can appreciate the tepid reactions; he’s been around a while, maybe viewed as a journeyman by some, not a great precious season etc, but we aren’t financially in a position to sign someone like that i.e. young high potential etc. Plus I’d still expect us to make...

    Goalkeeper Simon Moore expected to sign according to the Bladesman.

    Not inspiring, but it is a keeper, so who would be? A young up and coming high potential keeper would be snapped up by bigger teams with higher wages, or we would end up with a loan, which isn't as preferable as owning the player. His lack of recent game time is certainly a concern, but...

    I think he might revert to a back four tomorrow in order to include another attacking player. I would like to see Sterling, Grealish, Foden behind Kane, but I imagine he will bring Mount in. He might drop one of Rice/Phillips because of the suspension risk, but not sure which and not ideal if...

    Transfer Rumour Incoming !!! Ben Sheaf Confirmed

    Lamenting James and criticising the signing of Sheaf shows nothing but a lack of football knowledge.

    Yea I wasn't a fan of that being shown, I know they were likely going for the sympathy vote, but it was very much the wrong audience for that. Not on Twitter, but I can imagine some of the idiots on there.

    Difficult team selection for the next game, both tactically and team selection wise. You imagine Ukraine will sit deeper and attempt to counter, so we will have to set up to be more creative and therefore by default we also need more creative players on the pitch. Player wise, Grealish has...

    Fuck me, how tense is this. Kids are running wild - my partner is a single parent for the next 10 minutes!

    STERLING!!! He deserves that, he’s looked most lively for us all game.

    We shows signs of intent, then go backwards again. So frustrating.

    Not even sure what I’d change. It’s not been too bad a half, but nowhere near creative enough. We’re missing one of the many talented players on the bench, but how do you get them on? Saka and Sterling doing ok.

    Kane better than previous games but not great, nowhere near club form. Can’t replace him though, DCL is poor, so we’re stuck.

    Poor start (very early I know). Not encouraging as looks like we’re planning to sit deep.

    And me. Cov always comes first but certainly feels like a pre Cov game right now.

    Defensive as expected, but let's hope the pace element he is relying on comes off. Silver lining is we have numerous options off the bench. Difficult as I like Southgate and as I said earlier he is methodical in his approach, but I worry we will just invite pressure and not be able to get out.

    Jealous. Home with kids, partner and pets again for me - not the atmosphere I was after. One of the kids has to self isolate, so that ruined all plans. I can still do the drinking part though!
