Eze is so good centrally. Dont know why he never seems to be in that England number 10 conversation along with Bellingham, Palmer, Foden etc.

But he has only made one Tuchel camp so far. If he's battling it out with Foden and Rogers (a Tuchel favourite) then he is losing big time right now. He needs to have an injury free second half of the season.

Palmer about to return from a groin injury and is now out for more weeks after fracturing his big toe at home. It really isn't his season. He's in real danger of not making Tuchel's WC squad. In fact I would be surprised if he does, which is a massive shame as he's as good as anyone on his day.

But he wouldn't have got the team to try and hold on to a 1-0 lead after 10 minutes. Italy couldn't cope with our pace and energy, which we stopped doing as soon as we scored. Tuchel also wouldn't stand twidling his thumbs wondering what to do when Mancini made some tactical tweaks at half-time...

I think both are capable of being stop gap options. Plus there's Rashford who can also play there, albeit he is obviously much better playing out wide cutting in. I do expect Tuchel to take Watkins as backup though just as long as he finds a bit of form at Villa by the end of the season. Even if...

I think we were Southgated in the recent finals more than bottling it. Tuchel is on a different planet in a far away galaxy to Southgate tactically. With Tuchel, there's not a chance we would have lost to Italy at Wembley in 2021.

We can't win it without Kane. The squad is stronger than I can remember but we dont have a number 9 to replace him even for a few games. Watkins isn't what he was a couple of years ago and Delap is extremely raw. An ancient Danny Welbeck is a bettee option than both right now. Should Kane get...

Never seen this guy have a good game in all the times I've watched Barca, yet Transfermarkt has him valued at 80 million.

He's improved a lot this season. He will be phenomenal if he can find a consistent final ball/shot.

Carlos Forbs was on loan at Wolves not long ago and was absolute dog shit!

I don't think there is an outstanding club right now that's ahead of the rest. Bayern, Arsenal and PSG are all fully capable of beating each other on any given day.

Foden looking like he's close to being back to his best this season. Crazy how many people suddenly wrote him off after his first mediocre season when he was having some major issues off the pitch.

Wasn't he the best player in Serie A last season?

He was their best attacker in the first half and the only one to come relatively close to scoring. Vinicius was absolutely pocketed by a Northern Ireland international and Mbappe spent most the game looking up at the skies.

It's not that they don't have the same play style, but they have completely different strengths. They both do certain things much better than the other. So it's a daft comparison.

So I "spit" on your player by saying it's ridiculous to compare two completely different players who also don't even play in the same position? Make it make sense.

Nope. Can't stand Real Madrid. But will always call out biased nonsense when I see it.

Barca fans hate him so I can understand not saying nice things about him. But you can't just ignore his obvious quality. Barcelona could do with a physical player like him at times. They were powderpuff against Real Madrid recently.

Why would anyone even compare Bellingham and Pedri? They have completely different strengths to each other. It's like comparing Kane to Mbappe. Also implying he only scores tap ins and headers is biased Barca nonsense.

But they had ballers like Kroos and Modric to get them over the line. I don't see any chemistry between Mbappe, Bellingham and Vinicius which is going to be a big problem for them. They'll beat lesser teams just through individual quality alone, but it won't be enough against the top European...
