Fabinho goes there who plays CDM? The reason any team is successful in the prem is that core spine. Liverpool weren’t great until they sorted their GK CB and CDM out.

Aye, that's the point Id say Most of city's problem's this season stem from 1 player getting injured yet losing 2 best players in 2 positions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s effortless to him. No one can replace Dave Silva, one of the best players the PL has ever had. I reckon Pep could take Jack Grealish up to the top level. Couldn't stand the bloke before but for me he's a must for the Euros on his performances this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ox back in the fold as well. Im told Kane is back in light training, and Rashford isn’t far away. Squad is looking good, although the GK spot is a bit of a worry.

Interview with Ben foster earlier, they asked him about England goalkeeper. He reckons Pickford at the moment, but spoke very highly of Nick Pope, and also Henderson.

I think McClaren said that system didn’t fit those types of player. Then Xavi Iniesta Busquets went and won Two Euros and a WC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're sticking with 3 up top(ish) then no great shakes if he doesn't make the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've never had a midfield that could keep possession & control the game & take the pace out of it, hence while we've looked impressive in qualifiers we've come unstuck as soon as we've played any decent side. mostly.

This summer will be our best chance of winning a tournament in decades, but we're still missing a pivot in front of the defence to properly dictate the tempo. It was what exposed us against the Netherlands, and we'd probably have beaten Croatia if we had one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
