I deffo don't see why Ange Postecoglou would want to leave Spurs for Man Utd when Spurs are on the up, great stadium and training facilities compare to United. United could turn to Hansi Flick, Unai Emery, Julen Lopetegui. I did read that Graham Potter could replace Ten Hag I read the other day. never said otherwise tho did I.

not sure Maddison would have gone United when Spurs was in for him. I have been very impressed by their manager Postecoglou so far. Has a clear way of playing What is a "Man Utd Player" these days? The Ferguson's days have long gone. This ownership problem and what Jim Ratcliffe is going to do if he does buy 25% of the club. There is so many problems there like run down stadium, training factilities that need updating and improving, then appointing a sporting director. Ten Hag did a good job last season but I agree with what Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards and Roy Keane were saying post match we don't know what Ten Hag playing style is still after 18 months there. Both Neville and Keane still backing Ten Hag

only played in half of the game so far down to injuries. I would be playing him as the 10 behind Striker.

Surely your first choices would be John Eustace who did an excellent job at Birmingham or Gary Rowett who did similar at Millwall

if that' what you actually think then I will leave there.

Szmodics was obvious choice after Travis and Hyam weren't available and yes I would give to him again.

Believe what you want Simon. GB explained the Telalovic signing fully. We lined up Telalovic days before we sign him. Rovers under GB/JDT scouted players and looking for signings everywhere.

Szmodics post on twitter about being captain yesterday

JDT did want a proven Championship striker but we didn't have the funds. Simple as. If you actually listened to the GB interview he said they had a choice between Telalovic or Striker on loan from La Liga. They picked Telalovic. I think we do have time cos JDT will be working with him to get him ready for this level. Yes we could have look to sign someone from league 2 or SPL but yet again we don't know how much they would have cost. Rest is guesswork. Telalovic was someone who we scouted and look at live. It wasn't desperation signing as you suggested. A desperation signing would have been signing someone who we didn't scouted properly and signing them for the sake of it

Bristol City have sacked Nigel Pearson

Sheffield Wednesday finally playing their best striker Smith. Rohl seems to have learnt quickly then Munoz did

Why should Broughton and Kimberley be brought to task for signing Telalovic? JDT decide he wanted Telalovic over a loan striker from La Liga? Telalovic was going to player that we needed to develop and take time to get used to English football. JDT and his staff will be working with him daily and in the coming months we see more of him playing.

Szmodics was clearly happy to carry on and continue to try his best for the team and fans. Can Ennis play the Szmodics role?

bowled well today for the first time. 4 down and Malan, Root, Stokes and Bairstow all out already

I think he should have scored both. He is going to be good striker for him and working under JDT has improved him in the last 18 months. don't vote then I agree on Sigurdsson. He is working on his match fitness and getting used to playing championship football He was holding his rib but he was still working hard and trying to make things happen. Can Ennis play that Szmodics role?

he hasn't been appoint yet. They want to speak to him tho

no surprised by that sacking. Writing was on the wall in the summer by the poor recruitment there Maybe waiting until they got close to appoint their new manager in there. I've seen Lamouchi and Warnock linked with the job already

Its an excellent point made by yourself regarding certain players being tired or carrying slight injuries. I would expect 6 or 7 changes at least. Carter will play given he is out of Norwich match probably alongside Wharton. Gamble at right back. Markanday, Wharton, Garrett, Moran and Ennis will start this game. So a team like Wahlstedt; Gamble, Carter, Wharton, Pickering; Wharton, Garrett, Moran; Markanday, Ennis, Dolan.

England pick the same team for the India game. Looks like a slow wicket already. Buttler has chosen to bowl first.

I thought he was ok today, not near his best tho

nothing wrong with having different options

Also people have commented why didn't he bring on Ennis or Telalovic in the second but who were you going to take off when Leonard, Markanday and Moran have come on?

Not the result we all wanted today but we created more enough chances to score at least 2 goals today. Should have been 1 nil after 50 seconds. Then 2 other opportunities first half to score. Cullen for Swansea scored a good goal. Looks decent, supposedly someone we looked at signing in the summer. I was surprised that Wharton and either Ennis or Leonard didn't come on at half time. Also surprised that Markanday came on. I would have triple change at half time with Wharton, Moran and Ennis on for Sigurdsson, JRC and Brittain. Leonard's movement is very good and he should have scored both chances he had. Szmodics also had a great chance. We were sloppy today. We got 6 points from 3 games this week which is good return on those 3 games. Time to look forward to Chelsea and Norwich this coming week now.

I do feel that the squad we picked wasn't right for the world cup and we should have picked Dawson as second starter with Rashid. I thought India would win it before the world cup started down to conditions. I don't think England preparations for the world cup were right. We should have gone to India early and maybe even tried to play a series in India or sub continent Buttler isn't going to come out and say he should be relieved on his captaincy duty is he? I do think he should and we should build for the world cup in 2027 and appoint Crawley as Captain Mott has been in the job barely 18 months so maybe we need calm down with this sack talk cos you did the same with McCullum during the Ashes.
