March international break

[Football Special]

Feels like this is a massive opportunity for Saints to get the conditioning team working with the players, recover from recent crazy run of fixtures and prepare for the next ones. 

Daniel Peretz - Israel - one game scheduled away to Georgia 26 March (with Mccarthy still out injured Tonda will have to make do working with George Long and Jamie Jones) 

Ryan Manning, Finn Azaz - Republic of Ireland - high pressure games in World Cup play offs, start away to Czech Republic 26th March. If they win it's another play off 31st March. 

Shea Charles - Northern Ireland - world cup play off away to Italy 26th March , assume they lose that and won't get another. 

Cam Bragg - expect will be included in Scotland u21 squad, no announcement yet,  games scheduled home Czech 27th and away to Portugal 31st March. 

Josh Quarshie - Germany u21s games 27th and 31st March, think Jander is too old for u21s now so at least he won't be involved. 

Cyle Larin - in Canada squad for games vs Iceland 28th March and Tunisia 01 April - only player away long haul 

Not sure if I missed anyone, Jelert not in Denmark squad, Matsuki not in Japan squad. Jay Robinson won't be with England u19s and still out injured. 

Will keep an eye on England squad announcement this morning, surely Tuchel can't ignore the recent performances of James Bree , get him on the plane

He is not walking alone, TAA the biggest omission in that same position. Personally would take Bree before TAA anyway.

Baz not in Ireland team?

Ireland really riding their luck omitting  Russel Martin's favorite keeper. What are they thinking?

Charles will have 2 games regardless as there’s a friendly if not making the final.

I think Charles will benefit from playing two matches during this international break. He's been a tad off the pace in the few games when he's played so hopefully will come back with a bit more match sharpness.

Can someone do the same for Arsenal and their squad? Just to give us some hope

TAA done for England whilst Tuchel is in charge, supposedly been dating Iris Law, TAAs ex. Even weirder, she's half his age and Tuchels the same age as her dad, Jude

Even weirder, it's not remotely true.

Hopefully everyone returns fit.

There goes my theory that age difference criticism, from her dad Jude, was the reason for Bellingham's selection problems. 🙂

Even weirder, photographic evidence of Tuchel as a fanny magnet. Apparently it’s pheromonal and he can switch it on and off at will -

Think Dowman also called up in youth age group

The most overrated player for years.  Playing him centre midfield in the Euros was a joke.

I see 4 former saints are in the U21, Theirry Small, Max Alleyne, SAA and Dibling

So bad there is no record of him ever playing for us 

[JohnnyShearer2.0]

Thierry Small, came with high potential. Too much, too young and Saints have been too unstable.

Max Alleyne got poached by City early. Looks decent for them.
