Another outrageous display from Kane tonight!
Little article on how fucked blades are
Oh Ramsdale you plum, back to the bench you go forever
All this talk about playing Watkins instead of him Iâm hearing from pundits just shows how few people watch anything other than just the Premier League, even amongst the âexpertsâ.
Shearer wrote something last week about playing Watkins as a 9 with Kane off him as a 10. Itâs an awesome experiment that would never happen because Southgate is resistant to change and doesnât seem to actually like form players
It canât be understated how well Leverkusen are going though, theyâre breaking all sorts of records.
I think weâve already got enough problem squeezing in players to their established positions than playing Kane as a 10 for the sake of putting Watkins at 9. Iâd rather see Kane at 9 with any combination of Saka, Foden, Maddison, Bowen, Grealish or even Rashford behind than Watkins at 9 with Kane preventing another of those getting in.
If we were playing a trad 4-4-2, Watkins should definitely start, but I canât see that happening.
Surely has to be Jude at 10âŚ
No one plays 4-4-2 anymore, especially at international level. Gives you less control.
McGinn tackle was stupid.
Rice 6, Jude 8, Foden 10 for me. Bowen, Saka, Foden allowed to be fluid as to whoâs on the wing or through the middle as required.
Yeah Iâd agree with that. I think Shearer was suggesting that both Watkins and Kane work hard off the ball and are creative in terms of assists and so could work well together. Itâs far too experimental for Southgate
Iâm with you, any of that list of midfielders and Kane up front. Not sure about Rashford at all but heâll end up playing regardless
How are Blues getting on again?
Iâll stick to the balti pies.
Has your ground collapsed yet?
Love the beef
Haha good one mate
Iâm literally in the pub right now bantering with other Blues/Wolves/Albion mob.
I love you still x
Came into the pub to meet Tom for the Liverpool V City game and can confirm he was wearing a full Union Jack suit and chanting âBrexit means Brexitâ. I turned round and went home.
Brilliant game, really enjoyed that. Think Doku/City were lucky right at the end!
Doku challenge was very clumsy, deffo a pen!
