    Is Hendrick this terrible for Newcastle or does he play on the right like he did for Burnley @Shindig?

    Pukki is a woeful finisher. He seems determined to keep the ball on the deck.

    His goalless streak is getting to him. During the last qualifying campaign he would’ve scored that first chance every time.

    Soiri inexplicably subbed at half time

    Taking Kamara off when being one up seems like a pointless risk to take.

    This is either going to be 1-0 if you settle or 2-0 if you push on. We aren’t scoring.

    I haven't been keeping up. I thought he hadn't played much since the opening day but he's got 4 appearances for us this season. I think we tend to use him centrally because Ritchie and Fraser have the right side sewn up.

    He has the first touch of a rapist and if he does manage to get on the ball he is an absolute faff merchant. For us anyway.

    Decent enough in a few previous games playing fairly deep but I actually forgot he was playing tonight until you mentioned him.

    That's how I find him. Decent player and has a great set piece. Goes missing sometimes though.

    He should definitely be delivering dead balls ahead of Brady anyway.

    Southgate is far too defensive for this group of players. If we insist on a back 5 we don't need two holding players. Get Grealish in there.

    Seven defensive players at home to Denmark is a joke. I'm not too fussed about Grealish as I get to watch him every week, but questions need to start being asked about Southgate. We have a squad full of attacking talent and he's playing a load of shit defenders. It's a problem.

    Pope
    Alexander-Arnold
    Gomez
    Mings
    Saka
    Henderson
    Ward-Prowse
    Sancho
    Grealish
    Ings
    Calvert-Lewin

    I reckon the bench could win that

    Interesting that Waistcoat has stuck with Mount despite him accidentally helping us win against Belgium.

    I assume he's had a stern talking to.

    That line-up

    Sancho and Grealish not starting should see Southgate sacked.

    Christ, if there's one thing worse than the England band, it's the England band being piped in as fake crowd noise in an empty stadium.

    Wasn’t far off that. The guy who headed it looked to have had his arms up in the air already

    Hradecky has been the first keeper we’ve had since Niemi who always plays well for us.

    I can only assume that sort of penalty decision is being given as part of a wider plot to see VAR fully embedded forever. Pickford's such a mong though. As is Walker. As is Maguire.

    I know being a clown goes with the territory for this [type of] ref, but, as a wider observation, whatever ills VAR has wrought on the game itself, it has wrought them tenfold on officials and their capacity to referee without the safety net. Such damage probably renders it impossible to ever go back to the way things were.

    I’ve just seen the premier leagues offer of 50 million quid to the EFL. Not even a million quid a club seems quite tight fisted.

    The Premier League (as in the central organisation) was absolutely seething about the Liverpool/United thing which it saw as a power grab. They want to do fuck all for English football and give zero fucks.

    It's probably the whole of the organisation, (all) members included, really. Other than through some serious strong-arming it's hard to see how the make-up-the-numbers Premier League members are ever going to vote for anything that benefits the rest of the league structure in any meaningful way. They are all about keeping them down. Look at all the let's not do relegation this year bleating during the hiatus last season. Maybe Liverpool and United should go it alone with whoever fancies following them (ie at least the entirety of the football league).

    You pretty much have to have a lifetime of exposure to gridiron to have even the slightest clue as to what is going on so again, I'm unconvinced about mate status. Or are hipsters the world over extolling the virtues of play-action jet sweeps out of the shotgun as a solution to all life's problems?
