Well guys, good luck tonight. For the first time since I joined this forum, we will support opposing teams. But I hope you still love me no matter what happens. I do to you.

I will never understand how Pickford has reached almost 70 England caps

What do you think about Gallagher? looks like Chelsea want to sell him.

The problem with Trippier is that when the team has the ball he is an outstanding player. When he doesn't have it, he leaves a lot to be desired because he is very short to be a defender, he usually plays very forward when he doesn't play and he is not very intelligent when it comes to calling offside. But that's not new. It already happened to him at Tottenham and it happened to him at Atlético. It all depends on how the team plays so that its strengths or shortcomings can be seen more. He is capable of generating a large number of dangerous plays both with the ball in motion and from set pieces. As for his personal life, I don't want to go into that, but I do know that he had a very bad time at Atlético last year. Although I understand that it is different. According to other colleagues, he never adapted to life in Spain. His wife and his children ended up going to live in Manchester and he was alone in Madrid. And that made him play much worse his senior year.

Real Madrid DNA

Southgate is incomprehensible. They're hanging centers... And he's not able to get in Toney or Watkins.

Bellingham hasn't played a good game since February (Until then he was one of the best players in the world) It's time to either remove him from the field or change his role (put him further back). But you can't keep a player who has been physically dead for 4 months in that position.

Pickford is injured in the Warm Up

We have to be very careful. I think it's pretty clear that we are inflating player prices to make the margins better for all teams. Because Minteh and Anderson do not have such a high real value today. And surely Vlachodimos won't have it either, whatever its price. And that could also lead to a gap in standards. It is a practice that they have been doing for years in Italy and that has already been investigated in recent times (And in fact, it cost Juventus a loss of points this year because they had a lot of operations like this between 2018 and 2021). If it is something specific, I understand that there will be no problem...

If the business is to exchange it with Elanga, you wouldn't gain anything, right?

I wouldn't part with Anderson. He has many virtues, a lot of potential, he is very young, he is academy player (and that is good both for the locker room and to comply with the registration rules in Europe in the future). He does not have enough value today to sell him and achieve salary margin. If I had to sell players, I would undoubtedly go more towards Almirón or Willock. Even Barnes, if we take into account that he is a very good player, but that he plays the same position as Gordon.

This was my XI before starting the tournament, but I think the performance of Bellingham and Saka could make someone decide to remove them from the XI. Foden is not well either, but it is true that he has never been in his position.

I'm curious to see your opinions. Which England XI would you put in the round of 16 match seeing the level of the players in the tournament?

Accordint to Valencia Media... Newcastle is not interested more in the georgian GK. https://x.com/sanchis14/status/1805567121557991639

The good players are already very old. The defense is a bit mediocre. And the forward is no longer what they were

Looks like WBA shirt.

He is a spectacular goalkeeper. But he doesn't make sense seeing the performance Pope has given us.

But this list is only concern to league matches. If you count every match in a row, Bayer Leverkursen is 49 matches unbeaten. Is a historic world record, because Milan, Bayern, Juventus, Arsenal, etc (the first in this list) were defeated in European or Cups matches.

Football is a sport in which they play 11 against 11 and Real Madrid always ends up stealing.

I don't know very well how the 5th, 6th and 7th places in the Premier League work this season, in terms of going to Europe. But I think we are looking forward to playing in Europe next year because the top 7 teams in the League will do so. In principle, the 5th goes to the Europa League The FA Cup champion also goes to the Europa League. This will come from Manchester City or Manchester United. If Man United finishes in the top 5, 5th and 6th would go to the Europa League. As the League Cup is going to be won by a team that is going to go to UCL, there is another vacant spot (6th or 7th) that will go to the Conference League Playoff. As of today, we are sixth, but our calendar is the most favorable and the team is in sensational momentum. We have to play with Brighton (nothing is played), Man United (crucial match) and Brendfort (nothing is played). Man United has to play against Arsenal (they play in the League) and Everton. But they have the Cup final in their sights. Tottenham plays against Liverpool, Burnley (they are playing for relegation) and Man City (they are playing for the League) and Sheffield (already relegated) Chelsea have some options too, and they play West Ham, Forest (they are in danger of relegation), Brighton and Bournemouth.

Loving this team.

Every day I like Nico Williams more. It is true that he preferably plays on the left, but he can also play on the right and looks like he is going to get better every year. I think he would adapt perfectly to the Premier League and Newcastle style. (The shame is that the rumors linked us to his brother)
