International break

[UptheTofees]

Let's be optimistic

Maybe DCL and James continue their good form with the NTs and come back still on a roll and take a massive Colombian size [Poor language removed] on RS

 

[TheBigIguana]

Whilst it’s useful to give our wounded a chance to recover for the derby, can’t help thinking we could lose momentum plus the possibility that our representatives may get injured

Rather have Richarlison fit to go at Alexander-Arnold

 

[TheBigIguana]

Absolutely sweating on Coleman now. If he’s half fit he will declare and we need him.

Kenny might have a shot too.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

Think the RS are cruising for a bruising!

 

[Kure]

I don't wish an injury on any player, even Liverpool's but you never know what condition either side will return from international duty.

Thoughts as I grew older....

Why aren't our lads starting fir England? (80s]
Wish we has more lads who could play fir England (90s - noughties)
Hope our lads don't get called up/injured/destroyed*

*I link Barkley's loss of mojo with bring coached the safety first, lead pipe england game.

Yapping for a slapping lad

 

[Paul Rideout]

Given the minor injuries we’ve got, I’m actually glad with the international break... I’m guessing/hoping/expecting most of the ones we picked up in the last few weeks will have recovered.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Reckon we can ask to skip it and play utd instead?

I couldn't agree more. We're on a roll. Sodding internationals are a waste of space.

 

[duncs pigeon]

Will make a change the players looking forward to come back, coming back to a happy place on the up

 

[Gilbert..]

Before allen injury. Crap.
Allen injury. Take it.

I love international football and I love the Colombian national team with all my heart

But this is stupid. We should not be having international games right now with the covid cases all over the place.

Colombia already lost Uribe due to a case, might lose Cuadrado and Ospina as well.

So for those of you that don't know, CONMEBOL qualifiers are like a league. Every team plays one another at home and away and the top 5 in points qualify. So 18 match days total

They are pressed due to time because the games need to happen to complete it in time, but in my opinion, what should be done is do just 9 match days at neutral cities and just wait until next year. It truly irresponsible

 

[blulouie]

Aye but we don’t usually have momentum TBF

Momentum is great but i wouldnt like to be going into the derby with 5/6 injuries and the rest fatigued.

Tbh if we where playing 2/3 games in the next fortnight we probably wouldnt be able to field a team the way these injuries are mounting up.
