Really big confidence-building nights for Madueke and O'Reilly - and in terms of how they're perceived more generally.

Although Madueke never has seemed short of confidence!

O'Reilly seems really nice, humble, very shy - but seems to take absolutely everything in his stride on the pitch.

Just shows the path to predicting England tournament squads are very winding.
At the start of last season, Madueke's Carsley call-up was viewed pretty sceptically and raised an eyebrow - and O'Reilly was a young attacking midfielder with no particular expectation of even a medium-term breakthrough.

Tuchel apparently was unimpressed with what he saw of Toney in June.

Abbott, McAtee and Hudson-Odoi started for Forest. With Bott, Wilows, Anderson and Gibbs-White on the bench.

 

Toney staying in Saudi. i think his race is run for a WC spot.

not to mention, getting handcuffed likely doesnt help things.

 

Konsa and Sancho start for Aston Villa. Wright, Oakley, Hemmings, Rogers and Watkins are on the bench.

Guehi, Wharton and Nketiah start for Crystal Palace. Henderson, Matthews, Mitchell, Clyne, Hughes, Esse, Rodney, Casey and Drakes- Thomas are on the bench.

 

Tyler Morton assist

 

Goal and assist so far for Nketiah.

 

I know it seems a whacky idea but Jamie vardy is doing really well in Italy. Could he be persuaded to come out of retirement for the world cup as long as he's playing well in seria a?

 

He looked spent last year in the PL, I don't think he's top level anymore, serie A is a level below in quality

 

Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl plans to hold talks with England centre-back Marc Guehi at the start of January, which is when the 25-year-old can sign a pre-contract agreement with a foreign club as his deal with Crystal Palace ends in the summer. (Sky Sports Germany)

 

The leaks of the new shirt seem to be dividing opinion a bit online, but it looks nice close-up

 

Interesting article on dewsbury-hall. He seems set on playing for England. Asked about Ireland he said he sees himself as English

 

That article was a couple of months ago right or has he done a new one recently?

 

Its just come up on the BBC website

 

I have always rated him , but he retired to go on more holidays with his retarded wife.
You cant trust a guy like that.

 

The BBC artcile is new, but the quotes below which are included in the article are not new at all, he made these in late October.

"I see myself as English and have it in my head that I can play for England," Dewsbury-Hall told Everton's club channels. "I don't want to lead people on about what I want to do because I respect the Irish people and fans..

 

Not sure if this has been mentioned before but at the moment the top scorers in England, France and Germany were all born in England.

Really don’t see him going to the World Cup.

 

That's a stat, I would be embarrassed to quote publicly with it including Haaland
