Yeah agreed he's been okay, just saying he's had to cover all over today, so doesn't appear as steady as normal

He's having to do too much today in my opinion, seems like he's playing everywhere.

One silver lining, they're nearly as poo as us, but their wage bill will be significantly larger. A rebuild should be much more straightforward for us. They have a lot of expensive dross.

Get Cadamarteri on ffs

Yeah defo. Ugbo just hasn't stepped up at all, and I personally can't see that happening now. He's had plenty of game time to get into the swing of things. If anything he's getting worse. Hopefully a few goals can reinvigorate him, but can't see a few goals happening for him.

Not sure. Attacking full backs are very effective in the right system. But for us in the short term, he might do well further up the field, as such as system does usually require 2 good defensive midfielders. But Man U might not be happy if we play him out of position.

He's 18 and playing in the championship, plenty of time to improve on the defensive side of things. He is very good for his age in my opinion.

Agreed, he's got some serious potential. He is very very good for his age

I love him too. Who is he?

Nice to see we've learnt our lesson

Does anyone know how this will work with the stadium please? Is the "business" that holds the stadium classed as a separate business and if so is that business also under administration? Basically what I'm asking is what are the chances he will hang onto the ground.

Yeah true, no idea what we would do if he got injured. I guess it's a similar situation with France and mbappe, they look completely lost when he's not playing. As their team is built around him. We do have amazing depth in central attacking positions, maybe we could try the no striker system if that happened (If I remember right spain and Barcelona have done it a few times) But yeah in all seriousness that would be a major blow, let's hope that doesn't happen

Kane is a top top striker. Alot of counties don't even have 1 top class striker. Germany, Spain, Brazil or Italy for example. Strangely the only country I can think of that has 2 top rated strikers are Sweden, with Isak and Gyokeres.

Agreed. I think alot of international managers for a long time have fallen into the trap of trying to get all of their best players in. I do think at tournaments the whole squad needs to be used, the top managers do this. In the last Euros spain used every player in their squad, Southgate had a fair few that didn't play a minute. And other tha were lucky to get the last 10 mins. So, just because they don't start doesn't mean they don't have a role to play. Southgate ran a few players into the ground in the last few tournaments by hardly making any subs, Walker in the last euros springs to mind, he was exhausted by the final. Which is even stranger when England have amazing depth at right back. Those great players that miss out can play in their proper positions when needed. Or even fill in for someone in an okay position for them for 30 mins or so. But unfortunately for them they just don't start when everyone is available. An interesting fact I heard whilst watching the French match yesterday. Coman has over 60 caps for France and he's never played a full 90 mins in any of them lol.

Yeah that's what I think too. To be fair there is Rodgers, Palmer, Foden and Bellingham all after that role. But for me Bellingham should be the man there. The big issue I had with Southgate is he didn't use his subs well / at all. So there should be plenty of game time for the others, but Bellingham is too good in my opinion for the others to dislodge.

Aye, Foden is obviously the better player but Gordan just suits this team more.

I think Morgan is struggling with how they sit back, meaning we are nearly always going wide. Bellingham or Palmer would be better options in a game like this. They'd both give us more in the middle. Particularly Bellingham as he would also be a threat from crosses.

I think that position on the left is now Gordon's position to lose. The opposition isn't great but the team looks much more balanced with him, Kane looks good with him left and Saka right. He has a few weaknesses but he's performed well, and the fact he's good on his left and right foot is a massive bonus, he definitely offers something others don't. I also think Bellingham would thrive supporting Kane in the no. 10 role with with Gordan playing too.

If Chansiri is still here when we're in League 1 next season. There won't be any competing for signings with anyone. The only deadline day excitement would be, will the dinner ladies be paid or not.

Gigs is at Hillsborough? I better check where my misses is.

Legends, takes a lot of guts to ignore the repercussions, shows what Wednesday means to some people. F off Chansiri you've lost whether you want to admit it or not.

Jamie Vardy was better than David Hirst

Agreed. I struggle to watch the Premier League personally, it's mundane. Teams just try to counter the big boys, that have 11 £80m players. It's a case of watching them press and press and seeing if the other team can catch them on a break or if they win 4 nil. And big teams vs big teams just seems to be players throwing themselves over every 2 minutes and it's always a foul. There's obviously some great moments but it's too few and far between now for me to bother. I like watching the latter stages of the champions league as the quality of officiating is excellent, and throwing themselves over doesn't work. I guess the refs in the Premier League are instructed to protect the players more (protect the cash cows), as they play in it week in week out. Whereas the end of the champions league is only a few games and are always played at high intensity with a eagle eyed team of officials. Same applies to the world Cup. I still love watching that too.

Darren Moore wasn't a very good manager

Forestieri was massively overrated
