He's been better this season though, and he can play out wide too, so I can understand why he's been picked. I'd have picked Toney though.

Don’t mind the squad tbh. I understand the selection reasons and challenges. It’s a shame Sanchos form has gone (Man U is really a place where players go to die at the moment) as he was outstanding at Dortmund and one of the top young players in Europe.

We lack good options at the back which is a worry.

Apart from Tomori instead of Dier and maybe Toney for Rashford, I don't have too many issues with the squad, there aren't too many players available who I think are unlucky to miss out.

I would say that`s the issue Jack.
We don`t have enough quality to push for an England spot.
Dier no way should be selected along with Maguire.
But we only have Tomori who could take their place.
Same for Henderson, Phillips and Gallagher.
Not one of the three should be in the squad but they don`t have any competition for their place.
We might even struggle to win our group.

it's a tough group isn't it. Wales will treat it as their world cup final, USA have a good team. Tougher than many expect. Needs to undo the shackles a bit does Southgate. This team needs to be built around Saka, Kane, Foden, Bellingham, Grealish.

So it looks like only Adams, Aaronson and Kristienson off to the world cup from the Leeds squad, which is fairly good news

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Nov 11, 2022 1:31 pm  

Very good news. Gutted for Klich though

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Fri Nov 11, 2022 10:29 pm  

Should have had Toney in just for his penalties

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Nov 12, 2022 4:43 pm  

mo left back cost us 3 times today. farcical.

Re: The ONLY LUFC Football Thread : Sat Nov 12, 2022 5:07 pm  

And a bad decision to put Ayling on when 3-2 up as he can`t defend.
LB as usual our weakness.
Saying that their first goal should not have stood.
Push by Kane missed by the ref they win a corner.
Foul on Messlier missed by the ref and video ref they score.
