It's not perfect but it's a damn site more balanced.

Bellingham seems to play a bit like Foden. Proper school playground type, enjoying watching him so far tonight, just didn’t see it when we played them last week

Dortmund parked the bus, that’s why. He showed his quality with a few of his through balls which carved us open.

 

[waspish]

Playing the young lad Saka at left wingback is a joke

 

[mosssideblue]

At least our lads will be back early from the WC

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I'm waiting for the red triangle movie from Jean luc Goddard afterwards.

Only teenagers in the 80's will have a clue what I'm on about.

Lost on me mate, I’m too young.

 

[ninjamonkey]

After a few years of Pep teachings. Says it all. A few years for the next Bobby Moore

Says nothing other than Pep makes everybody much much better. Rice is already a top quality player.

 

[Platt Lane veteran]

This is so painful to watch. I don’t think waistcoat has even given them any tactical instructions.

 

[kippaxchris]

We have a fantastic pool of players & we should be absolutely brilliant, but with Southgate's style of football & his none performance based player selections we don't stand a chance.

 

[Cricket Blue]

What's Reece James done to his hair?

 

[jimharri]

Saka as a left wing back? And then pushing up to stand next to Raz?

When he plays the keeper as a stand in striker, then we know we're fucked.
