    More or less that.

    As with all teams, they have to be more clinical with
    whatever scraps they get before the inevitable overrun
    by the opposition (same thing faced by Spurs against
    the usual PL top 3 etc) .

    That makes too much sense for Utd.

    Which is why they're seemingly going for Rabiot, because after one egomaniac central midfielder leaving the club, they obviously need a new one... who's not even as good.

    Southgate is bare limited

    Needs out for England to move onto the next level

    Dier over Maguire everyday

    however, I am selfishly glad when our players don’t get picked if they are pivotal for Spurs as Dier obviously is

    Join me in telepathically transmitting the following message to Kane :

    Withdraw from the WC2022 squad because Qatar has a
    horrendous socio-political regime,

    Apart from the Nemesis 'wokery' it would inflict on Southgate,
    perhaps it could inspire a Hurst-esque emergence
    (and before the deluded from them lot get going : in NO
    universe will that someone ever be Saka) .

    It has to be said that KWP looked pretty lightweight

    Sess absolutely bulldozed through him for our equaliser

    I thought he just got done by a very, very good cross, to be honest.
    Being about a foot taller might have helped, but there's not a lot he can do about that.

    To be fair slabhead has 100% record in England shoot outs and has stepped up and cracked home his spot kick in our last 2.

    Sess in an interview said Perisic pointed out to him that it was a mismatch between him and KWP on the back post and they worked on that in training , Sess has beefed up well in the close season ,hopefully he will be the player we thought we were buying from Fulham

    Back-pedalling defender vs attacker with forward ,momentum
    is never a good scenario for the former when it comes to crosses.

    Kulu's cross was of an insanely high quality to be fair. Nightmare of a ball to defend as even if you get to it first, there's a strong chance you either put it in your own net or deflect it back across goal into danger.

    Not enough has been said about that cross. It was filthy.

    I thought Aribo looked dangerous on the few occasions he touched the ball.

    Haribo is actually an abbreviation of Hans Riegel Bonn.

    This is of course different to Aribo. The first letter is different anyway.

    He plays better for England generally.
    Can anyone point to anything which would merit his demotion from the England team whatever ****show is going on at Utd?
