Conte not bringing on Kulu or Richy at the half was so dumb. We have no attacking presence. Now down 0-2.

 

Clearly not creating any chances. Doesn’t make the change until we’re down by 2 goals. Now making a triple change lol

 

I hate this team so much.

 

Sanchez is abysmal

Sess has some sort of mental block because that man just can’t get out of his own way sometimes I swear

I’m just so over it. It’s the same shit every game.

 

Spence comes on and immediately makes an impact

good thing he never plays

this game would be like 4-0 without Forester

 

Playing the same XI twice a week for over a month + injuries to 4 key plays are valid excuses for poor form. But my god we are shit.

 

This ref has no clue what he’s doing lol

 

If they don’t sign a CB in January I give up

 

I don’t think there’s anything worse than seeing Lingard celebrate a goal against your team lol it’s the combination of cringe and anger

 

North London going League Cupless for another year

 

never in doubt

liked bajcetic and ramsay today

 

oh wow he did leave Zack Steffen off the roster

 

How was the general performance? I didn't see it.

 

essentially what you’d expect from a group of kids + Ox + Gomez + Tsimikas. There were some proper chances but for the most part it was constant probing while Derby sat back and soaked up pressure, barely making any headway themselves. Things looked promising once Darwin, Bobby, and Elliott came on but nothing materialized, though probably would have if they had come on sooner / had more time.

Overall, not the most exciting game but I enjoyed watching some of the youth, particularly Bajcetic and Ramsay. Doak also made the most of his brief appearance, looked good

 

Yeah sounds about what I would have expected.

Doak was born in November 2005. Insane.

 

Wright over Pepi is quite the decision....

 

Do we really need five fullbacks?

 

this will be interesting

 

Roldon and Morris over Tillman and Pepi is something. Particularly when those two haven’t played in ages by the time the WC starts.

 

a little surprised by the Gotze inclusion. Not that i think its undeserved but seems a bit unexpected. Any thoughts @orangehorizon ?

 

Englsnd squad announced in 40.

my picks:

Pickford, Ramsdale, Pope

Trippier, TAA, Walker, White, Tomori, Stones, Coady, Shaw, Mitchell

Rice, Bellingham, Mount, Gallagher, Henderson, Foden, Maddison

Rashford, Saka, Sterling, Grealish, Wilson, Toney, Kane

 

Southgate sees sense
