Enciso's Goal of the Season award was a shiny tune of Pringles.

Nah, John Stone plays for City. #only2johnstones

Great block.

Southgate has suggested he will use the squad, prompting rumours Colwill will play. I'm sure we, and others, would see it as logical to play Dunk alongside him. Perhaps, he'll want to give Tomori a game though.

He was, and indeed still is, loved by the Lazio fans. He had moments of absolute mercurial brilliance there, as he did throughout his career. When it comes to technical gifts, there haven't been many better in world football, certainly not from England. The dribbling, the passing, the shooting...

I think the issue is a lot of English fans haven't seen what Bellingham did for Dortmund. If you've got a bit longer: And that's all as a teenager, playing multiple positions, sometimes as captain for one of the biggest teams in Europe. Gazza's best league goal return was 9. Bellingham...

"He was always regarded as a bit of a bruising centre-back, great at defending his box and not much else." Lines like that annoy me and you see it a lot. I posted the other day about the misperception many fans had/have of Dunk due to their first being introduced to him in the Hughton years in...

Link?

No.

Yep, that's what I'm thinking. When we have the ball, one of the fullbacks pushing on to create an overload down one side. The other tucked in. In the defensive stage, Bellingham dropping in alongside Rice.

I agree. However, what is Belligham's best position? He's excelling for Madrid as a no.10 but for Dortmund he often played deeper, as an 8 or even a 6 (CDM). For England, Rice is the obvious 6. We're blessed with many candidates for the 10 role (Maddison, Foden, Grealish, Bellingham), so I'm...

Well, if the shoo fits...

I notice he says that experimenting in a friendly would be "ridiculous". If you can't try things out in a friendly, when can you? Does this mean no Dunk this evening then?

And, surely, if you're going to play Henderson, it's as part of double pivot with Rice, allowing Jude to play higher up the pitch. But a flat-looking midfield with Bellingham pushed out on the left is just madness. Maddison on the wing too :cry:

In Bellingham, Rice and Foden, we have a genuinely elite midfield but Southgate plays Hendo. I despair.

Joe Marler gets it

I know what you mean and agree that some of the criticism is OTT. However, this is a bit rubbish, isn't it? Do we really need Henderson in there along with Rice?
