    It is likely to be back 3 with Walker on right and TAA as right wingback and Saka on left. I hope.

    Well it’s Konsa in for Guehi which is a straight swap so I doubt that.
    Looks like 4-2-3-1 again to me.

    Somewhat disjointedly, Foden in a prematch BBC interview just confirmed they're playing new formation with 3 at back and Southgate when asked prematch by same broadcaster has refused to confirm, although he was asked about Saka at wingback and answered questionson it. So sounds like they are playing 3 at back but Foden didn't get memo not to tell world. I think this reflects that we aren't well organised. Luckily the quality we have is so good that this might not matter.

    Love that people still think that you can stand in a different position for kick off, and completely throw a spanner in the works of a meticulous weeks preparation by the opposition.

    They didn’t even stand in a different position.

    Why change things when they’re going badly? They’ll be expecting that.

    They want Gareth to be more like Pep. That is. Do plan A, but do it better.

    Top management.

    Just need to blame the number of games, the schedule, the ref, and the law suits hanging over us, when it goes titsup.

    This is marginally less shite than previous games so far. On balance.

    "Kane was waiting for it."

    Exactly the problem.

    I think Foden should fuck off. Cole or Gordon are offering more.

    If we win the ball it's despite Kane, not because of him. He then offers nothing to the break.

    A forward who does one of the two things, or could even hold the ball up, for me.

    Oh, and kick the fucking ball forward a bit more often. More missed passes than Miss Havisham.

    Mainoo and Konsa have been excellent. Foden is just not able to find space and slow everything down. I would like someone who can run playing there who will stretch things and is intelligent enough to get in positions that Kane can exploit with his passing. I would also like Trippier not on the left.

    Mainoo - definitely not a holding midfielder - is our best goal threat.
    I’m bored.

    If we absolutely have to stay in the same shape Tripper and Kane off. In absolutely garbage form.

    BBC panel appear to think we are playing well.

    Assume they've been told they have to be more on brand and not criticise players from the best league in the world.
