Another topic while I think about it.

Oh, Awesome, more international matches... said nobody ever.

I hope none of our players play as they'll no doubt end up injured.

I have absolutely less than no interest in these games. Negative interest . 

Picks Chilwell and James for the squad, uses neither.

Prick. 

Harry Kane is having an excellent game for England. He would be brilliant for us.

He would be brilliant in most teams. The reality however is that Levy would rather drag his nuts over a cheese grater before selling to us. 

2 goals for Kovacic

And Scotland score 2 past Kepa

Kepa had a mare by the looks of it , goodness knows what he was playing at .

Only seen the highlights, but I can't see what he could do about a deflection about two yards in front of him for the first or the shot that came through a crowd of players for the second. Did I miss something?

You're probably right but to me it looked like he was surprised both times and continuing his poor recent form for us , he didn't look confident at all.

Casadei with 2 goals and an assist for Italy's U-20 side in their World Cup match vs Barzil (Andrey Santos also played). 

Gallagher called up for the June games against Malta and North Macedonia

James, Chilwell, Mount and Sterling not considered due to injuries

Two challenging games ahead....

Good to see Southgate picking based on club form with Maguire keeping his place in the squad and Phillips in following his 1 league appearance all season.

Link to the England U20 game v Italy.  Chuk playing brilliantly. Vale too.  Captain. 

Humphreys also playing. 

Great game. High quality so far. 

Casadei for Italy

I look forward to the media report ignoring any Chelsea players in favour of Liverpool and United Wunderkind

Chuk denied two penalties and the game was then decided on a very suspect handball penalty to Italy in the 84th minute after a var intervention. 

This was so dodgy. The ground was full of italians and Argies. 

Not the most partizan crowd and it showed in the reffing. 

 

Casadei has made the U/20 World Cup final vs Uruguay. 

Has now netted 7 times in the tournament, including in the semi-final vs South Korea. 

Kid is looking bright and had a stellar tournament, I do wonder if it's caught Poch's attention and if he'll possibly get a look in during pre-season for further assessment. 

Can see a lower Premier League loan being on the cards if we opt to get him more regular football.

Lampard vibes, particularly that goal last night.

Every time I see him , it's like Lampard 2.0 it's uncanny .

Just as well seeing as he's probably going to be in midfield for us next season the way things appear to be going.

Never forget this one......

 

 

He looks very right-footed to me. That's not a game-changer, but, if that's right, it makes it much easier to defend against him simply by ushering him onto his wrong foot. Defenders tend to notice that kind of thing.

Ours don't.

Sorry, I should have said, "Defenders should notice that kind of thing."
