Easily. But wouldn`t have been able to touch the ball. I`d warrant JET would have still found a way to score most of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSSEL85 Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Really tough game tonight, they are no mugs, any type of win will do, 4-0 ideally . I think an early goal for us will force them out early and could pick them off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Surely a regulation 2-0? Old England would really struggle in this game but our fellow big guns have got through so easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Fred Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 3 hours ago, italian dave said: It’s the player who played 169 games for the club, 51 goals (only 25 players have ever scored more for the club), who slogged his guts out for us for 3.5 years and often in a pretty thankless role up front, and whose mind (like many players or other employees in a similar, situation) was elsewhere when it became apparent he wasn’t wanted. I’ll always think of him fondly and hope he does well (not tonight obviously). I'd say lazy barsteward would more suffice ... And as for fondness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touch like a breeze block , no football brain whatsoever . Downing tools shows the true character or the man. He scored 1 goal every 3 games, with a shot to goal conversion rate of 15%, consistently across 3.5 seasons of the Championship. Not many strikers manage a record like that, especially in a team like ours. He's carried that ratio on in Turkey as well, so he's clearly got something about him. As to the "true character" being revealed. Even if that is true, it doesn't erase that previous 3.5 years of excellent service. Anyway, to each their own opinion. In mine he's fully deserving of his place on our top scorers board. Now, were he to score a goal that knocks England out tonight, I may reassess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheltons Army Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) I think Saka over Rashford to start a fair shout - Rashford also more likely to be impact off the bench than Saka I may have started Sterling before both if he was available , so think he’s called it right Glad Fodens kept his place Go Boys Edited December 4, 2022 by Sheltons Army Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) As a colourblind fan. Honestly, the only way I can really see the Senegalese in the long camera shots is because of their dark skin. This green kit is awful.
