    However bad it is, you’re still not losing to West Ham

    Son replaces Lo Celso, who's basically done nothing on the right, again.
    Really silly to pick him there in the first place.

    I would rather have a liability like Ndombele in the team than someone like winks (for example - don’t mean to pick on him particularly) who never gets me out of my seat.
    Ndombele has the potential to be a game changer (yeah I suppose for the negative as well) and this is a player we need to try and get the most out of rather than give up on

    He looks good for Argentina in central midfield and plays well as an attacking midfielder.
    We play him wide right in a 4-3-3 and he doesn't.

    For me, a midfield three with Ndombele and Dele is too porous

    Useful when we're on the front foot, but when we're not it's some pressing high up the pitch but not very much tracking back

    He’s played plenty of games centrally though and contributed next to nothing.

    Playing well for Argentina is probably easy when Messi’s in your team. International football is also less demanding than the Prem in my opinion so easier to look good.

    Incredible save from Ruddy to deny Kane this time.

    There is a bit of Steffen Freund about that Tanganga.

    How did Ruddy stop that? Or more accurately, how did Kane give him the chance to?

    Winks played well for England.
    International football is different. I just don't think he's strong enough for a PL team - in any position.

    I agree with your thinking, only bit I have a problem with is that

    3/4 managers have tried to get the best out of him

    I really believe he has to get the best out of himself

    Not really, given Messi spent over a decade not giving a **** when playing for Argentina

    Definitely proof international football is nowhere near the quality of the Prem <laugh>

    If that's a player in red dispossessed then it's a foul. It probably should have been a foul anyway.

    Ait Nouri replaced by Semedo. Was that a concussion sub?
