Club

When he became a coach he was a kind of link man between dressing room and management, but not sure about the loan monitoring part, or his current role.

I don't either. I'm a fan of loaning players out to get games at a competitive level. A season at Crewe rather than baby-sitting 17 year old in our under 23's will do him the world of good.

There's logic in that Sue, but the club have as good as said that the policy is to develop them here, and that loans are for players on the way out.

Interesting if true. His contract is running down and he needs to play regularly. Stranger things have happened...and perhaps Lloyd Kelly appeals to us with some kind of deal.

Yep, good change. Has to lead to more open games.

It's not that I don't like, I don't see the point. Nobody knows. He might be injured. He might not. As an England fan, I hope he's not.

Daft question. What makes you think anyone on here would know. We could all speculate, and we get it that you think it's cos he's injured.

Logic says he won't play Sancho which is why I think he might. Dropping Grealish and Saka would make no sense, so that's a distinct possibility too.

Yep, he'll start Sterling for sure. I'd have Grealish 10 and Saka right who deserves it after the other night. Wouldn't surprise me though if Southgate drops him and throws Sancho in.

It's 2021. I couldn't give a monkeys what happened nearly 50 years ago.

As I say, perspective. It amuses me.

You were cocked and loaded with that one.

He looks a great player, but JWP, Diallo, Romeu, and Gilmour seems unlikely.

I'm normally quick to give you both barrels, but good work. I'm glad we got shot of him.

Good call. That Caleb is a good lad.

I think it's bollox. Southgate is judged on what his team does at the tournament, not whether he keeps Man Utd management happier than ours, or gives Rashford a seat on the bench rather than Ings. You show me Ben White, I'll raise you Kalvin Phillips.

I don't get this at all. Do you really think that Southgate would put a player in his squad who he thinks offers less than another player just because of who he plays for? There's no sense in that.

I'd still have played him in the Czech game. Kane needs a shot across the bows to liven him up. I'm no DCL fan, at least not the way we play. For all the JWP talk, I actually think Ings was a better candidate for the squad. He'd offer us a different option going forward with his pace and pressing.

Depends on your perspective mate...hopefully he'll now bite. Entertainment.

But, my car works. It's not 100% perfect though. Maybe it doesn't actually work. I'm confused now.

Rashford for me.

Agree with that. I'm happy to see us grind out results. My concern is that we're not creating enough chances, but are getting exposed from time to time. Hopefully Stones is OK as I think him and Maguire gives us a very solid CB pairing. The next game is arguably the toughest we could face. Get through it and things could get interesting.
