United winning by a few ? You mean 8 ? whatever happens we will be 3rd going into Liverpool match. After weekend/Monday at worst 4th. But United then have Wolves away on the Tuesday. So we could be 5th when we play palace but win and straight back to 3rd. All this is of course sssuming we will lose to Liverpool and the others win every game which we all know is probably unlikely. Although I will do an accumulator just in case.

You do realise our goal difference goes down if we lose right?

@Lighty64 , I think you missed your calling... You'd make an excellent Spin Doctor:shifty:.

The Burnley loss, Southampton & Chelsea losses... Never thought they could be explained in those terms.

We were also in top form BTW prior to the Burnley game. I have a new respect for your talent Sir. If you were on the Titanic... You'd have convinced everyone all is fine :p.

Yes lighty means well and always tries to see the good and positive in everything a bit like Paddington Bear does so we have to give him credit although I don't think he likes me very much.:cautious:

Yep. Spin of the highest order.
Can you put me on ignore please mate? Appreciate it ?

I just totally disagreed with your approach to a post, especially the “legends” comment. If I put everyone on here I disagreed with on something or another I’d be talking to myself:whistle:

edit: and the "embarrassing":finger:

The only thing I can think of is going off and training with England must feel like a rest compared to what Poch has them doing!!
TAA only just back from injury, I think Dele should be dropping out also.
Can understand Kane wanting to be out there every time. Maybe even some of the guys who would possible be fighting for a start in June.

Dele can't afford to miss too many England camps, he is slipping down the pecking order.

Absolutely no chance he gets dropped or rested in a competitive match when fit for England.

Really depends what system Southgate plays. If it’s 4231 every chance he could get dropped.

Rice/Dier/winks/Henderson (2 of 4)

Sterling sancho Rashford
Kane

He’s safer in a 433 as likely play one of the wide midfield roles. But I don’t think dele is a shoe in at all unless he performs well could easily lose his place. Although sancho isn’t a 10 he may try to squeeze him in or play sterling at 10 and sancho wide. Could even play a diamond with Kane/Rashford. I think the only certain starters for England when fit are Kane and sterling.

Southgate has been playing 3-5-2 since the World Cup hasn't he?

I don't think the England squad has been this strong in my lifetime.a genuine competition for places in almost every position. Might be good for us and see some of ours rested a bit more during international weeks.

This England squad is still young, too. Got a few tournaments in its time. Actually am excited for the nations league in the summer. We can beat each one of those sides I believe.
