And Nkunku, who’s just signed for Chelsea for 60M.

France have a superb keeper - Mike Maignan, AC Milan’s first choice keeper who is out injured. They were also missing their first choice left back Lucas Hernandez, Kante and Benzema. They’d have comfortably won it with those four.

Argentina manager deserves props here. Keeping Di Maria as a threat so far on the left hand side of the pitch is making it almost impossible for France to attack down the opposite side without stretching the pitch. France will put Mbappe central second half to try and counter it.

Phillips seems to be the answer to the Ayala question.

Best team in the league by far, sadly. If they ask, make sure you say they’re buying the league. They don’t like that at all.

Yep - I remember singing “we want Steve Kean out” in the Blackburn End before a game had started.

Sorry to be the negative one, but I’m not getting ahead of myself. If their manager lasts until the New Year I’ll be impressed. That was a performance of a team of players that have turned against the manager and the fans where booing from the second minute. We played well and deserved the result but there’s clearly problems at Norwich.

They’ll sack the manager before the new year - they’re clearly a team suffering as some of the players throw their toys out the pram. Not getting carried away..

A bit of fight shown for once as well. Dolan and Hanley. Kaminski against Pukki, although the players took a while to come over and support then Dolan and their left back. Now JRC and Henandez. Been asking for this for a while now. A bit of passion, some fight.

Dolan and Buckley have worked their socks off. Dack has played well. We look a better team four at the back than we do five. As far as I’m concerned the following are key players, the rest are up for debate… Kaminski Brittain Hyam ? Pickering ? ? Gallagher ? Brereton Dolan

Meh, fair play. Great local sponsor that. EG should be our equivalent.

I’m taking that back - they nearly scored because he went AWOL again.

Are they sponsored by Lotus as in the car brand? If so, is that a sponsor they got while in the Premier League? Are they local? Assuming it is, it blows my mind how they’re sponsored by a luxury car brand and we’re sponsored by E-cigs.

JRC seems to have picked up a touch. I’ve given him plenty of shit, so it’s only fair I say he’s played well this second half.

Ayala signalled to the bench asking to be subbed according to fans at the game on Twitter.

Can only think Dolan is tiring and he wants someone that will press. Their defence looks almost as crap as ours with the nonsense playing from the back.

Brilliant from Dack there. Decent from Buckley, but as Sky commented, should have passed to Brereton rather than Gallagher.

Funny old game, Dolan is MOTM for me so far. Buckley a close second, Dack just behind.

Would you mind if we used “much higher quality than I expected (from BRFCS)” as part of our future marketing? 😂

Reacted quite predictably to him being encouraged to sign a new deal on the back of representing his hometown club then being told there’s not even a seat for him on the bus for the biggest game of the season

I suspect due to his managements reaction after he wasn’t allowed to even travel with the squad for the Burnley game…

Thought he did very well. Held them up long enough so that he wasn’t the last man then took him out. Sensible play from an experienced player.

Morton completely fucked us then. As far as I’m concerned Adam Wharton and John Buckley are both as good or not any worse.

He’s not anything enough. My Christmas wish is he gets a permanent move in January. It’s the best for all involved.

Long passes and high press. We look decent for once.
