2nd that. Toney reminds me a bit of Ian Wright. Mobile and fast with an eye for goal. Just what United needs.
Internationals March (Euro Play-Offs + Friendlies)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Easy to stand out for sides in the bottom half of the table like Chelsea though, I think this will be too big a step up.
Not enough nevers for my liking.
Is there ever one?
Oh dear, half time commercials with Bayern players for a crypto broker 
Fair, but Bellingham's found his best role as the attacking midfielder for Real. You don't take your best player out of their best position. Bellingham aside, nobody else can offer what Kobbie does imo.
Ben Davies inches offside
England are about to lose 2 in a row playing all the top half players, give the lower guys a shot!
Mainoo has booked his ticket to Euros. Take him off now
Yeah I think it was close and could've been VARed, but still looked offside.
Not sure if Wales was better overall, nevermind by quite a way. Last 10 minutes surely, but first 15 min they didn't even leave their half. Poland had a few okayish half chances, I am so impressed by Zalewski, looking like prime Ronaldinho with some of his touches
He does it all the time right before a tournament decides to get all experimental in a key position of the squad handing out pointless caps because Tom, Dick, and Harry from Stoke point out “they’ve been playing so well for them!” for a mid table premier league side for a couple of seasons, when in reality they’ve been far from it. Last one was Coady, and now he’s ended up in the championship with Leicester.
If he takes Henderson over him I will cry.
I think he was a couple of inches off. Gutted.
I think we’ve had the better of that half but without being dangerous enough going forward. Poland resorting to wild long shots
Always unreal to think Mainoo is only 18.
Great assist Lukaku for Belgium's 2nd goal.

Dunk has surely played his way off the plane with these two friendlies ?
Chilwell too.
Chilwell too.
He should take them both. Need a few older dudes in the squad just to keep things balanced.
There's just no other fit left backs though.
Shaw and even Colwill and Trippier (not a LB but he's played there) can't stay fit at all.
England doesn't have any lbs though. Chilwell's kinda there by default
Me too. Calm, patient, making decent chances.
Just hoping it doesn’t go to pens. I’ve only just recovered from United Liverpool …
Onana?
You could play Gomez there or have called up Doughty.
luuuuuuukaku
That might be the only thing that saves him yeah. Shaw will be first choice but expecting him to stay fit for 5 or 6 games in a row seems a big gamble.
Oof he's been poor though in these two friendlies. Having to go into a big tournament match with him playing would worry me.
Yes, which is why Bellingham's more an attacking 8 in this England set up than the 10/false 9 he does at Madrid. He can do the same things that Mainoo is doing and based on this half, he is. Unless something radical happens Southgate is not going to play without a striker, especially with the options he has.
Bit rubbish that Branthwaite hasn't even been given a 45. Seems pointless to have called him up.
As I said ‘top Job’ biggest in the world
What is England's defence in the summer?
Poland getting dominated so far
I’ll wait til the group stages are over, they’ll be a fiver each
Wales-Poland looks destined for penalties.
Both mediocre in possession. Poland finding more space in final third but don't have the quality to exploit with Lewa in the Autumn of his career now.
One wildcard is David Brooks on the bench. I can see the logic in starting Moore but think Johnson centrally or on the right could expose the Polish backline more.
See if Page does any of this as he's very very slow making subs when games are in the balance, always a problem at the major tournaments.

Walker, Stones, Maguire, Chilwell
The grass was too long, too many injuries.
Southgate.
at least at the beginning of the tournament I expect the exact same thing as the last time around, Walker-Stones-Maguire-Trippier
Totally agree. He is the best young centre back in England seemed a perfect chance to start tonight and when Stones went off I was shocked he went with Gomez.
Hee-haw!
This Doku seems a lot more free. For city he seems stifled
