Baird of the land

From that doesn't seem like he offers anything that Charles provides as a starter. pass

Then I go back to my original point that his highlight reel was very underwhelming.

Regularly Playing them in roles that don’t play to their strengths isn’t wise.

We need 2starting cm but very rarely do we need 2 holding mid spots. if Charles is to be sold we shouldn’t be replacing him with a holding midfielder.

Seems superfluous then with downes/jander/bragg already primarily competing for that single spot in the xi most games. Unless jander/downes are off.

Pretty underwhelming reel.

Pathetic the way Scotland threw the game with 3 pieces of suicidal defending (with ref letting them off one of those). When you see way some so called lesser nations have got results through not gifting big team anything.

I missed the start of that incident. Just saw Xhaka whacking Larin in the shin. Guessing Larin was done for kicking the ball away?

Why did they not bring Toney/Watkins if not using them in a game like that

No just pragmatic and see his end of season vs whole season perception barometer being out of whack. We've already got Downes/Bragg for his largely defensive role, so if we need to cash in big(like we did with Dibling last year) he could be a prime candidate

Get rid of the overhyped jander instead

On paper I can’t say mulligan appeals hugely. No goals in 41 games last season. Still hoping we triggered the extra year for Charles and manage to keep hold of him.

Dutch defence is going to stop them going deep in the tournament.

Like Middlesbrough game where we needed to win and Charles started.

Guess by that logic neither can jander, when he kept getting rotated.
