[SWPISHOME]

Think he means if Eddie doesn't come back in time to train for the first few games back! Assumption is any players going deep in the comp won't play till early Jan.

I know mate ;) It’s just the way it's worded it looks he'll get a run in the Brazil team...

I wouldn't mind Ortega starting any game he's been very impressive when called upon.

Ortega what a keeper , proper shit stopper .
Alvarez is a fantastic player, gem.

Using that …. Next time I’ve got a touch of the Delhi Belly, I’m off to the chemist to get some Ortega

 

[Winchester]

Gr8 performance tonight
Grealish was Really good and Ortega tio
However Alvarez looks a brilliant buy

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

If we play our cards right we can win this cup again easily

Next round is the Tuesday and Wednesday following the WC final on the Sunday. Could be some interesting starting 11’s for those games!

Our English lads will have been back since early December

Our English lads will have been back since early December

It’s the Portuguese I’m more worried about!!

Yeah that kid Hall was among their best players tonight tbf

Looks like he's got plenty or raw talent so will be interesting to see what Potter can do with him.

I know, I was agreeing with you (and not the original poster who balmed it on him).

Balmed or muffined?

 

[Brewster's millions]

That would be an amazing achievement if he done that, I think Sadio Mane will also do well with North Korea ;)

He's German mate.

Ironically, Mane probably would fit in well in North Korea - he’s already had a few years immersing himself in a backward, impoverished and estranged environment where the locals have an ingrained hostility to visitors from more developed geographies.

Enjoyable match. Great performance from Ortega - they could have been 2 up by half time. Much better second half with Grealish and Alvarez both looking good. That Alvarez cross for the second goal was superb as was Mahrez’s control when he got the ball. Alvarez deserved the goal just for that cross! Definite improvement in tempo when Bernardo came on.
