I have no idea why he was taken off as opposed to Walker- he saved us from being down 2-0 early.

I'm wrong more often than I'm right, but I said after the extension he signed that three years were utterly idiotic. He was a complete liability today and has been since last year.

Based on past games versus Brentford, this will be a grind. I worry about so many changes across the back line, and Walker looked wholly lost in his brief cameo at West Ham. Our bench is undoubtedly strong enough to come and change things if necessary!

Ederson Lewis-Dias-Akanji-Gvardiol Kovacic-Rodri Bernardo-Foden-Grealish Haaland

I like it, too. I certainly don't love it, but it's not as bad as some are saying.

I need to catch up with this thread. What's the general consensus on how we're feeling as the trial approaches? Are some confident, and some not so much?

The arsenal game at our place, where we battered them, is the only one I remember.

With Ake down, I suppose it's good Lewis is getting some minutes at LB right now. Who else can fill in over there with Gvardiol?

He was stretchered off. God damn, these idiotic glorified friendlies.

They're ranked behind Uzbekistan, mate. Lol.

Bad news, guys. Ake just pulled his hammy.

Finland is also horrible.

He makes Rico look big somehow. Rico is a lot stockier, I suppose.

I agree.

Angel Gomes starting in midfield over Lewis? I wouldn't say I like that, but Rico's best chance to start might be at LB if you assume TAA is now the starting right back. Maybe Reese James if he ever finds fitness. There is a real lack of left-backs, though. I'd back him to beat out Shaw.

He's got a bit of arrogance to him now, and I mean that in the best way possible. He looks full of confidence in whatever he's doing. More often than not, it doesn't come off(ha), but him trying is what I want to see from him.

Kante looks as good as ever.

Rough game for KDB. I wish he'd retire from international football.
