  1. It is, but I actually think the text quote is underselling today's a little:
  2. Love Raheem and I'm glad he's back, but in all seriousness I'd be very disappointed if he starts against France. If Saka and Foden stay fit that should be the front 3 sorted for the rest of tournament.
  3. I'd wager international football has a much stronger following from EFL following fans than PL following fans as well (the latter are more concerned about their players not getting injured etc.), so it really is something that should have been thought through ages ago.
  4. We should be winning this, I won't hate on Southgate if we lose but we are the better side and squad. 60-40 in our favour imo.
  5. Yeah, at least Walker has had a bit more training/game time than we probably hoped for pre-tournament and there's also the mental side - Mbappe knows Walker has gotten the better of him in the past.
  6. France haven't been that good in the tournament, just Mbappe has been immense. It's a tough game, but I fancy us with Walker in the team.
  7. Rice has to play sadly, Phillips isn't ready and Henderson isn't a pure DM as you know.
  8. Excellent result. And that's why you play Foden on the left as opposed to the right.
  9. This awkward, that's exactly the team I'd have gone for (ideally you'd take Phillips over Henderson but not sure where he's at match fitness wise)
  10. My hot take also would be Mount isn't needed, and we play Phillips or Henderson. Frees up Bellingham as well. Will never happen though.
  11. Is the stadium name present to make sure nobody in Qatar gets lost while using OFT for directions?
  12. Meanwhile Foden has played 45 minutes of international football on the left, but it's a complete mystery why we can't get the best out of him.
  13. They're mostly sub appearances early on in his career. According to transfrmkt: 3350 mins from CM/AM 981 mins from RM/RW 4675 mins from LM/LW 1488 mins from FC He'll be fine there, but talking about playing players where they play for their club and then playing him in by far his least played position is a very Southgate take.
  14. "WE CAN'T PLAY FODEN IN THE MIDDLE, HE DOESN'T PLAY THERE FOR HIS CLUB" Plays Foden on right (edit removed the youth/u23 games):
  15. I think Kane did well last night with no support at all, held the ball up really and linked the play with the limited service he had. The midfield was shocking last night (and the wingers/Trippier to a lesser extent) and that's where the fault lies.
