I'm concerned that the poms have concerns that this match thread isn't in the spirit of match threads. Nah. Just fucking with ya. I care about winning.

Nah, this lot are cool but as long as we call it shithousery.

You shouldn't have left your crease prematurely, is that a gingers thing ??

[Gemmill 34475]

I've no doubt there'll be clamour for my services at some point in the season. Let the Matildas take the easy ones.

Hopefully Sven is fit for this one. Id feel a lot more confident.

[Dr Gloom 19826]

Time for a bit of rotation with so many players away on international duty and the milan game on wednesday? 

 

-----------Pope

 

Trips--Schar--Botman--Hall

 

-----------Bruno

 

-----Longstaff---Anderson

 

Murphy---Wilson----Barnes

[Gemmill 34475]

Aye I think we might see changes in midfield here.

Possibly the boys from Brasil, seeing they will both be back late from their international duty.

 

Regardless Eddie will have given them all a kick to the nads to get their concentration back.

He won't drop Bruno but I suspect Almirons place will be under threat. Big Joe....hmm...I reckon he'll play him.

[David Kelly 1117]

Tonali has a knock doesn't he?  Seems that will allow an easy decision.  Casey reckons Sven is fit so expect him not to play.

[Dr Gloom 19826]

i dunno how joe got on for brazil but he looked knackered against brighton. i'd "rest" him if he isn't 100% as his game relies on his energy. miggy is a doubt too, so an opportunity to bring in barnes and move gordon to the right, or to give murphy a go. 

 

anderson also deserves more of a look in than he's been getting. howe isn't one to make wholesale changes but feels like it might be on the cards given the games we have coming up this week.

 

howe often plays tee lads who he's been training during international break, which makes me think longstaff and anderson might both be in with a shout. makes sense to hold tonali back for his return to the san siro

The fact that Hall has been training with England makes me think that he may not get in yet for this very reason.

yeah, you could be right, annoyingly. I’m hoping Howe makes an exception after BDB’s recent performances 

[David Kelly 1117]

Who do Brentford have playing on the right?  If they have plenty of pace there I'd definitely be inclined to rest BDB.

Is that why he wasn't in the Italian squad?

Joe replaced Bruno against Peru and got about 20 minutes.

Does Anderson deserve more of a look in? He's not done much in any of the sub appearances so far this season. He did okay in preseason but it was preseason.

Needs to be both Isak and Wilson starting, get the game tied up then hook them and give them a rest ready for Tuesday night.

Shade usually plays on the right I think, when he’s not singing songs. He’s lightning

Aye they said it was something like muscle fatigue.

Might be an idea to get a smooth operator like Hall in then.

You're really desperate for Hall to play aren't you?

He was in the Italy squad an played the first match but was rested for the second due to 'muscle fatigue' which doesn't sound too serious.

I only saw their game against the Ukraine and he wasn’t in the squad but that’s good and bad it was fatigue.

Good cause hopefully it’s not too serious. Bad because he’s not played a full game for us yet and he’s already suffering muscle fatigue six games into the season. So what is going on with that?

[ewerk 26352]

I'm guessing someone translated it literally from Italian so it could mean anything. Probably more of a knock or tightness rather than tiredness.
