Anyone got a team yet ? Okonkowo VDC ? Alese ? Doyle Appiah Daly ? Sharif TJJ Supposedly Liverpool's Abdi Sarif wide-left ? Rasmey #10 ? Ogbeta left-back ?

I’m guessing we’ll see a completely different line up tomorrow. Great that you tracked down the full match by the way!
Jones is in Liverpool's 25 man traveling squad, has a real chance of making the bench too (because it'll be a 12 man bench).
So the changes to the original squad are. OUT: Crowe, Jones, Maghoma, Simms IN: Mumba, Sharif, Cottrell, Tulloch They really have explored all possibilities with this group. Only really Bowden Watched the first half. England basically kept Russia in their own half. The goal. Appiah and Ramsey closed down well to force the error. Think Ramsey crossed and Tyreece got the best of all miss kicks but they all count. Not sure if there was a report but Binks, Sibley, Whittaker came on.
Definitely. So we looking at. Dewhurst Mola Williams Binks Sibley White Bennett Mumba Cottrell Tulloch Whittaker White could be left back & Sibley in midfield.
I liked the performance and balance of the team. A few key players missing but good squad depth on show. Doyle isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but his passing range and delivery from corners caused them problems all game. Appiah looks to be a real star and Binks reminds me of Laporte. Not used to seeing a left footed, ball playing centre back playing for England.
I was unaware that Mumba had played there before. It was becoming tough but I knew Mola has played defensive positions before. Quite a few left-footed players. Saw that Drameh missed Fulham u23s last few games so he must be injured.
A few of the Spurs youth watchers will say that Binks is their favourite CB when you list Eyoma, Lyons-Foster, Binks, Walcott. (Tanganga not in conversation but it looks like he won't sign a contract and will move this summer.)
1-0. Clinton Mola on the rebound after Tulloch hit the post. A few minutes earlier a Slovakia player took a real knock and looked to be out cold. Not sure he should've been let back on.
Spot on with Mumba. Mola just scored with a nice finish too. Good play from Whittaker and Tulloch in build up.
Good run and finish that. That loose ball in (Mumba or Whittaker I think) lured the England players to try get it and they didn't and it opened the gap for the counter.
2-1. Mumba gets turned easily and then commits allowing the winger to beat him. Simple cut-back and finish after that.
