    Other way for me. I think Guehi has been found out. Overrated for me and not international level. James is perhaps a victim of injuries but unless someone else comes along is surely Walker's replacement in the England side. I reckon he's incredibly tough to play against. He defends hard and he...

    I think the Falklands actually belong to the penguins.

    I should have also added that the last thing we needed was guys like Anderson sitting in alongside the centre halves as well. We needed our centre halves pushing them back out to where they should be engaging.

    Not sure I understand your point actually. My thought process was moving to a place where if you are going to get into that back 6 sort of tactic, then you need a different profile of a striker than an ageing Harry. They need boundless energy and need to put in the big shift, It wasn't fair to...

    It's things like where he plays, If Tuchel wants him to drop deep or drift into the channels then he should. If Tuchel wants him to stay at the point of the spear then he should. Regardless of this, I do believe Kane could offer more for the receiving pass. He is more than capable of receiving...

    The next action should be with FIFA. If they don't act and punish the Argie players then our government should go ballistic with Infantino. They should demand his presence in Downing Street and even in the Commons. If his organisation don't deal with things like this then we should actually set...

    Does Kane do his bit to enable England's tactics though? Whilst I feel sorry for him plundering as a lone striker in a 4-5-1 defending a 1-0 lead yesterday there have been many times in an England shirt where Kane hasn't performed well in open play. He does get goals consistently though. We...

    I think you have to also realise that when you switch to that defensive 5 you start moly cannot have your key players like Anderson as deep as your centre halves. It just invites the pressure. Nobody can surely build a case for Harry being the 1 in a 5-4-1 either. How is that fair to a 32 year...

    Kane was massively guilty of not doing 2 or 3 things in this game. The first is MOVE. Kane probably passed the ball as well as any of the best Argies but the difference was that they then moved into space. Kane didn't, and he was barely showing when our defender and midfielders had the ball. He...

    Fair play to Djed. Proud of his performance tonight.

    Yep, take a bow tonight Christian. The best defender on the pitch.

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    My take on it THE BEST TEAM WON If I was clutching at straws, I could build an argument that the early yellow cards in the first phase of the game could have stopped the significant shift in momentum in the next phases. We simply cannot have referees ignoring the laws of the game at any level...

    Sounds controversial, but we haven't needed Davies taking a squad place for a fair few years now.

    Pedro Porro

    Was thinking the same. We've spent the entire WC talking about Spence, whilst Porro has quietly taken care of business and will be in that team of the tournament. In some ways because of the burden on these 2 guys bodies, it would be worth doing a lot of rotation until they've recharged and...

    I think you actually explain the black and white piece. The grey area is always these 2 cases 1) A player that comes out of your academy 2) What happens when players sign new contracts Take Connor Gallagher as an example. His balance sheet valuation at Chelsea was next to nothing. That made...

    I had a feeling you might have finance acumen whether running your own or supporting a P&L. Football finance is a mine field with footballers being intangible assets that nobody knows how to value. Then you have the contract length to amortisation relationship. I’ve tried to do understand it...

    Logic would say that England need Kane's class on the ball. I think what we might be seeing is a stylistic situation where Kane against Croatia and Norway can get close to 40 touches. However, against Mexico and Ghana he's down around 20 touches. So Tuchel is scratching his head as to what he...

    I do find it interesting how a percentage of fans have become more educated on how football finance works. It would never have even come up in conversation a few years back. I guess on one end of the spectrum we have the fans that just expect their clubs to have that money tree and keep on...

    That eye test is interesting actually. Djed has been really good from the bench and he was really poor against Ghana. What the eye test has told me that England only have one full-back that could go up against the best and that is Reece James even though he's made of glass. I do think Djed has...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    I was in Moscow in 2018. The complete lack of dealing with the yellow card incidences in the first half changed that game. I saw it with my own eyes. I think the worse one was probably the delayed Euro's in 2021. That Italy game saw some facrical refereeing and cost us the game. We shouldn't...
