Bizarrely Dermot Gallagher reckoned both pens were valid. Mark Halsey and Keith Hackett agree the 2nd wasn’t.

I’ve not got a problem in players being found to be offside by a “toenail” on the basis that if we scored a goal that was judged over the line by a toenail, we’d expect it to stand. Fine margins should apply in both scenarios imo

The bigger issue is the incompetence of the officials

I agree -Liverpool probably play the most exciting dynamic football in the PL.

Grealish however is starting to remind me of Benrahma for his lack of end product.

Ings and Toney have managed to look match fit despite also barely playing this season. Philips hasn’t.
That suggests he’s not applied himself in the same way

Never understood the fuss either. But everything about that Bielsa team was massively over-hyped. Bamford, Raphinha, etc. He was excellent for England in the Euros though - so there was clearly a player there. One thing is for sure. City’s asset is depreciating faster than a new car being driven aw...

Leverkusen were 1-0 down on 88 mins today at home to Hoffeheim and so facing their first defeat of the season.
Won 2-1.

TalkSPORT speculation about likely trouble because of the significant infiltration of away support in home sections in Leverkusen.
Is there a precedent for us doing this anywhere and it not kicking off?

Marshall not in the WBA team or bench today. Can’t see any reports he’s injured either.

He was a giant of a CB. Surprised given his succcess at club level he played just 4 times for England. Three times under Ramsay…once under Greenwood.

It was a pretty harmless response imo. I didn’t get the reaction it got tbh

Wales heading for ET. 0–0 85 mins
Greece knocked out on pens earlier vs Georgia so Mavropanos won’t be going to Germany

Foden, Mainoo and Bellingham are really special players.
Such a shame it’s all undermined by a lack of quality and leadership at the back.

The movement and linking up in the final third has been pretty good Id say.

I agree. Downes is perfect for possession-obsessed Saints.
Even if they don’t go up, I’d expect him to be bought. He’s proved very popular with their fans.

Didn't watch the game. Haven't really been that interested in England games for a long time, especially friendlies, qualifiers etc. The anti Southgate argument seem pretty similar to the anti Moyes ones. And yet both have brought relative success to teams that haven't had it for decades. Weird 🤷‍♂️...

Maddison is probably that player imo. Does so regularly for Spurs.

Might go to Worthing v Bath City tomorrow. Worthing were flying in 2nd for promotion to the Conference but have had their manager poached by York, and their form has dipped. They may still make the play-offs though and might even pass York coming down in the opposite direction. Also being shown on ...

His team mate Saka has just withdrawn from the squad. Must boost Bowens chances

Sometimes, rather than always blaming the manager, it’s relevant to acknowledge the quality of the opposition and the ability of their manager to tweak things too. Yesterday was a case in point imo and a fair result. Villa are not chasing a CL place for no reason. Our biggest weakness is a lack of q...

What a finish! Glad to see Liverpool lose.
