I'm not sure we'll lose as many as 3/4, but agree that Livramento has to be the priority right now. If you were going to pick one player who might even end up better than TAA and James, he'd be my best guess. That said, we are of course talking about a snapshot taken at this moment in their development and any young player's level/status can change very quickly. They may not all even end up playing at right-back.
I would be looking into trying Reece James in the squad as a DM. Think he suits that role at international level better than most we’ve played there.
Surprised to see Abraham starting for Roma right now as I was convinced he might be out for a few weeks at least after hobbling off against Hungary after about 5 minutes but it’s good to see.
Hopefully he gets back to his best soon, although we are quite spoilt at full back position for me he was most exciting one to watch.

Would have thought a suspended punishment would be most likely for a first offence, but then again it is UEFA.
Does anybody else see a fair bit of Paul Mersin in Emile Smith Rowe? He's more disciplined than Merson (which isn't really hard), but very similar in how he runs with the ball
Really impressed by Connor Gallagher. Good on the ball, passing and works really hard. I would consider him for midfield fairly soon
From those, I would have thought Gallagher at the moment, but Jones may jump ahead if he can get a decent run in the Liverpool side. Feels like he gets two or three games, then either a knock or dropped.
I would think Jones. He's the one that's performed at the highest level and he's already had one U21 campaign.
Jones has a great highlight reel but I still think he's quite raw in his current role. He was always more of an attacking mid and he's still learning the centre mid. Gallagher seems more ready made right now.
Yes I have been very impressed with him ...he has a good physical presence as well - I already rate him higher than Rice who as you all know I can’t abide
