And that can work if the other team are pressing high and leaving gaps so that he can play through balls over the top the way he was doing for Son at Tottenham, when Son still had a lot of pace. But do we really want our nominal striker to be playing in midfield for much of the game? I’m not sure it’s something that Tuchel will want but we’ll only get a better idea when we play decent opposition. Serbia might give us a bit of a test. |

I think that’s the big problem for Eze because by far his best position would be as a 10 behind the striker and the queue of talent there vying for a place is enormous. You’ve got Bellingham in possession, who’s always going to be first choice if he’s fit. And then along with Eze you’ve got Foden ( because he’s rubbish on the wing), Palmer,Gibbs-White and Rogers all pushing for selection. |

I agree that he’s not been anything near his best this season but he’s still contributed a number of assists and a couple of excellent goals in our last really good performance against Derby. With him and Field out, the return dates of Varane and Kolli presently unclear and Frey incapable of completing a full game, it leaves you wondering if we’ve got enough goal scoring capability in the players that remain to be much of a threat to anyone. |

Why not just do away with the football altogether? The downside of having a World Cup in a country which doesn’t “do” football. And to think this is the second one they’ve had since we were last allowed one. |

None whatsoever and all due to Blair’s determination to crawl up George Bush Jnr’s rear end in order to make himself look like a “major player on the World stage.” And our reward for the loss of our servicemen in order to satisfy Bush’s war cravings has been to be treated ever since by the Americans as something nasty they’ve got on the bottom of their shoe. |

The whole of that medley on the second side of Abbey Road from “You never give me your money” through to the end. [Post edited 1 Mar 5:37]

The Russians call to the Polish resistance when they were at the gates of Warsaw, to rise up and help them kick out the Germans, followed by their staying put while that resistance was obliterated so they could move in and impose their own regime unopposed must be one of the most cynical and shameful events in history. |

For me it was the cheating that got Shaun Derry sent off at Old Trafford in 2012. |

I rewatched it before the second one came on and was probably even more impressed with it than the first time. In particular the scenes involving interaction between Mark Rylance, Damian Lewis and Claire Foy are fairly crackling with tension. |

I think the longest I’ve seen were from a bloke called Tommy Tonks ( great name) playing for Tamworth against Tottenham in the 3rd round of the Cup recently. He was hurling them to the far side of the penalty area. |

Maybe, but they somehow missed two obvious forward passes in the build up to the third French try. |

I don’t think my hearing’s ever been quite the same since I went to see Taste with Rory Gallagher a few times at the Marquee fifty odd years ago. |

It ought to be easier playing them without Robins as their manager. Always thought he was one of the best managers in the Division. |

Apologies, meant to upvote as it’s very much the way I feel too. |
