I'd much rather play Turkey than the Dutch.

Saka to LB, Palmer for Trippier, Watkins for Kane, Wharton for Mainoo.

They were better for playing 3 at the back and pushing a player forward, but Mainoo and Kane were passengers. Trippier tries, but with the best will in the world he's not an attacking LB / LWB.

Is there any life in Batty?

Saka was good, Foden and Palmer were bright. Eze did a sterling job as a LWB considering he's an attacking midfielder. We're somehow in the Semis.

I hope this is Eustace being decisive (he was incredibly reluctant to play Telalovic last season) rather than simply more cost cutting.

Well he's replaced the suspended CB with a CB, so I don't think he's changed anything.

"John, are you bothered if they bring a 16 year old on in a friendly? No, I thought not".

He's played men's football for a year so he's further on than Batty is at the moment.

Dakota Biotech doesn't look anywhere near big enough to do that.

Across the board - frees and loans.

How can anyone argue we don't have any depth when that Second XI is almost exclusively made up of Academy players?

You'd have to be absolutely minted to buy a football club. Your accountants would be doing everything they could to advise you against it.

They make it up as they go along unfortunately.

Name four more.

We already are a shell of a club.

He'd be a bad journalist if he wasn't on here.

I assume he's out of contract?

Slovakia couldn't handle us when we upped the tempo and actually attacked.

We won't see £30m for Wharton...

The problem with Hedges is that he has no end product. Clearly quite a tidy footballer, but never creates or scores.

We do know.

Bit like Southgate with Captain Kane.

Yes there is - we're on our own now. Our owners haven't put any money in since November and probably won't be able to until August at the earliest. Waggott will be battening down the hatches, to hell with the squad quality. All of those transfer funds will be used to keep the lights on for as long as possible.

Trippier.
