if he can keep this up, his stats could be unbelievable at season-end. Will still get ignored for all awards because Kane scores 25 goals in 10 games and does sod all the rest of the season as is his usual fare.

Nah mate he's world class innit
 
So Lukaku cannot play against Bosnia due to minor injury problems. Bet KDB can play. Do the rags pay Martinez to take the decisions they want?
 
He's coming back crocked, isn't he. We might as well just accept it now and try not to be so utterly fucked off when it happens as is inevitable. Martinez won't give a shit about his tight hamstring, and he will do it in the game tomorrow and be out for 6 weeks.

Ray of sunshine that I am.

How is it in Martinez's interest to injure his players?
 
I'm a Belgian and a city fan, i get why we wouldn't want Martinez to play Kev if there was the slightest opportunity of injury beyond normal circumstances. Otoh i also do get why much of our players like Vinny for one wouldn't want to miss a lot of NT matches.

I do sense a very different sentiment regarding international football between England and Belgium in as much as people and players value it with the nationalist connotations it could possibly have. English football seems in a somewhat depressed and cynical mood with various gennerations having failed to meet up to arguably high expectation.
As a small country Belgians can already be happy if our NT is actually relevant, we have certaintly been absent of a lot of tournaments in the last decades and that did hurt. I mean it's one thing to have a big team performing under par, another to simply lack the quality to be relevant and unable to blame anyone for it. Our belgian NT never had such high expectations to begin with, we had some good gennerations and we were genneraly proud even if only they managed to qualify. Nowadays these are exciting times for us.

Try to immagine what it must be for the Belgian players. They are gennerally loved in Belgium, and imho the press certaintly aint that critical or even "gutter level" here as it often is in the UK. And they have the opportunity to become legends for a small country that had relativly few nationalistic high points.
