That song is like a funeral dirge now.

It was after the first kin tournament when it was a novelty record.

I fear it will outlast humanity and some future alien civilisations xeno-archaeologists will use this as the sole evidence that we existed and it's no sad thing we are extinct.

He’s not even the best midfielder on either team he plays on.

Someone is going to come in and give me some crap about deep lying midfielders versus other roles and I get it so save your breath, he’s not the best midfielder on either team he plays on.

So he won player of the tournament and his coach has also come out with this.

Looks like you are chatting bollox again.

But in your head I’m sure you will be right

 

[the golden visionary]

So cringe. Whenever you look into people behaving like that, it’s always the ones from Huyton etc. who have that bit of insecurity and therefore need to declare themself top scouser.

He's from Roby him lad

Lovely seeing the armchair reds hit pieces on Kyle Walker. Still clearly hurt by Treeent lads omission and criticism.

They're both gash anyway and would've probably been dropped for Reece James if he was fit.

Any one else would've been told to shut up nobhead.

No issues with Walker this tournament. Probably the last he will be at. Alexander-Arnold is probably best deployed as a sub late on when the opposition is tiring and you need one of his passes and can risk his defensive frailty.

Hopefully James is fit next time around and another right back has appeared. I'm more worried about the paucity of quality at left back because when Shaw wasn't playing we had nothing.

I mean you could've also gotten some of the other English left backs instead of having to force Kieran Trippier (of all people) into the England starters I don't follow him very closely but that Palace lad - Mitchell - is likely a better option as he's an actual left back. @Alan Whittle can probably give better info there but it would just make sense.

2 players comfortable in each position that you want the team to play should be the obvious way to go...

The taking of one nit fully fit left back gamble paid off. For all his risk aversion tactics this was very odd. Right up there with persisting with Kane who was not performing to the required level.

It was a balanced team only if you're gonna play some weird 3 at the back formation with a winger at left back and persist with it, but it was also not the case.

Overall crap selection and a lucky path to the final imo - weak group, weak eliminations where relying on getting to penalties worked out and then the first tough opponent won pretty much before kick off.

In his game there is always someone who hits faster and harder. His day will come, it will be up there with Crystanbul for me

Tyrick Mitchell is highly regarded at Palace and had a very consistent season. His defensive qualities are first class and suit a back 4 but he has been challenged under Glasner who prefers 3 at the back plus wing backs to get forward more effectively. He has started to do this and got on the score sheet against Man U towards the end of the season. One cap (from memory) already and would have made a lot of sense playing next to Guehi. At the moment I don’t see a better LB prospect for England but these things change constantly. FWIW Shaw did ok when he was finally fit.
