with trippier down injured it’s fine by me
Firmino Neymar Jesus not bad either
BBC had a poll about whether Englands front line were the best in world football. Hilarious.
Yeah they didn't really change my mind...
Maddison pulled out of the squad. Probably wouldn't have started anyway.
Did not know that.
Naby Keita: Liverpool midfielder removed from Guinea squad

Liverpool's Naby Keita will be given a chance to 'rest' during Guinea's forthcoming friendly internationals.
Guinea coach Didier Six has withdrawn Naby Keita from his squad ahead of next week's friendlies after it emerged Liverpool appeared 'reluctant' when he was called-up.
The midfielder, 24, was originally included in the 23 players for the friendly internationals against Comoros on 12 October in France and Chile three days later in Spain.
Fit-again after a muscle strain kept him out for six weeks, Keita has now been replaced by Czech Republic-based Kamso Mara in the Syli Nationale squad.
"Considering his physical condition, I would like Naby Keita to rest for these two matches," coach Six announced on the Guinea Football Federation (Feguifoot) website.
"I think Liverpool were reluctant when we selected Naby [Keita]. We have two tough friendly matches, especially against Chile, so I decided to make a change to the squad.
"I will speak to Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool coach, once in Paris, so that he [Keita] can just be available to watch one of the two matches.
"I would like Keita to recover and be at 100 percent of his level to enable him to play in our Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in November.
"The same [visit to the squad] applies to captain Ibrahima Traore, who is injured."
Injury cut short Keita's campaign at the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt after two group matches as Guinea went out of the tournament in the second round.
-----------
Good call.

Both Rose and Keane were poor.— but they were hardly the only ones. The angle at which Rose receives the ball, you just know he’s going to be forced backwards or he’s going to lose it if he tries to get forward.
As for the midfield, that was as poor as I’ve seen play. Each time, they got the ball, they quickly got rid whether or not they were passing to a teammate. That is until Barkley cane on. Awful stuff.
I know Southgate always rotates his fullbacks— I’d have preferred Alexander Arnold to have played first and had a longer rest, though.
Was talking about Roy Keane. He was on ITV destroying England.
I'm snowed into my house here so stuck watching Ireland v Georgia. This is not capturing the imagination.
Would you not consider painting something and watching it dry?
Ah!
Too lazy to paint.
Denmark very lucky to grab all 3 against a rather potent Switzerland-team with a late Yussuf Poulsen goal. Really like that Zakaria-lad from Gladbach.
However, Kasper Schmeichel played like an absolute star on the night. Have a look;

Poulsen.... *shudders*
Wijnaldum just scored his 3rd goal in 4 games for Netherlands
