Saka is more than capable of filling in a number of positions but you can get dragged down to the general mediocrity of the play. Crazy that anyone would criticise Saka for not having a stella game playing at left wing back when he thrives as a right winger. That and having the turgid Maguire as his left sided CB....

England play Maguire, Dier, Walker as CB - none of them are good ball playing CB so we struggle to progress the ball quickly. Southgate should be picking his most technically able players, if he wants a back 3 go with White, Stones, Guehi. Get Chilwell in as a proper left wing back, James/Trent on the other side and play Foden and Saka either side of Kane with Rice and Bellingham in the centre of the park. Personally I'd pick that team minus the extra CB and bring in another central midfielder. You could have a pair of 8's like Arsenal deploy and use Bellingham and Maddison/Foden

Tierney gone off with concussion in the Scotland v Ireland game.

Concussion presumably (and hopefully) won’t keep him out for the Tottenham game a week away. Scotland have a game on Tuesday away against Ukraine? Will concussion today keep him out of that?

Just reading up on it and the minimum period for return to play after concussion is 6 days. He obviously wouldn't be able to train for a few days either, so he might very well be a doubt for the Tottenham game.

Six days time is next Friday. I’d like to think he will be okay to play against Tottenham. Not being able to train presumably doesn’t mean he has to stay in bed until Friday. I would hope there’ll be physical activities he can do that’ll keep him fit for next Saturday. And if he has Friday to train fully.

I don't like that 'minimum'.

Who thought of Orange and Black as an Irish strip?

It's not the first time they've worn it but it looks weird. That blue kit they had against Qatar was bizarre too.

Wouldn’t be worried about it. I imagine they had to pick a number of days and chose six as a minimum. The Tottenham game is in seven days from the incident.

I hope so. I don't fancy facing Spurs sans Partey.

No doubt ..head butted by Willie John or kicked in the bollocks by Tony O'Reilly .
Be Jasus ; I've followed the underhand misadventures of the doity Oirish pl**cks since 1959 .

Ok, on behalf of those interested, I'll ask:

What's a pl**ck??

We’ve wrecked our economy so that middle aged white people could have a moment to display their xenophobia’s

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/business-63031372

Not quite. That's an effect.

The cause is the likes of Crispin Odey and other shadowy figures in the financial world. This is the real reason for Brexit. The xenophobia was the tool they exploited to win the vote.

When does the realisation happen when they understand this thing will eat through everything we have and they can’t lie about it anymore ?

Economic growth, our currency and even the construct of the UK. It destroys it all.

It’s become so tiresome reading about the damage we are doing to ourselves.

We're not the ones doing the damage.

But voting Tory at the next election will mean you are responsible for letting them get away with it.

Or maybe a lot of people have made a democratic decision to support her over Starmer?

Not sure that will happen. Tory voters I know aren't happy.

Good question, john. You could additionally ask, who the pl**ck are Willie John and Tony O'Reilly?

… now letters of no confidence going in. Yet the thickos who thought this was a good idea won’t admit it’s a disaster

So Cripsin Odey is a hedge find manager and large Tory donor. Backs and donates to Kwasi Kwerting. Kwerting becomes chancellor. Announces tax cuts that tank the pound. Odey bet against the pound and has now made another fortune on the back of it. Insider dealing much???? Brexit was forged on exactly the same principle. A few elites making money from our hardship and the financial turmoil.

This stuff will be taught in history classes one day.

Why not stop playing Billy Big Balls with Russia .... negotiate a peace settlement ...get them to turn back on gas , oil , uranium , food , grain . fertiliser , palladium chromium etc .
