Apparently, it is an hamstring issue and whomever made this post on twatter saying that he was being rested is a dickhead.

This is actually comedyâŚ
The headline says he doesnât feel good, the player in the article and the actual video it comes from says he feels good 
There is a video there, seems precautionary but yeah this season does seem to be falling apart.

I am still in shock as to how fantastic we are playing. Still pinching myself, not daring to believe, even when the group looks like this:
Erling has been spectacularly amazing to the point where I have no words. ĂdegĂĽrd, fantastic in the games he has played, but so have so many others ! Finally, we have a GOOD team and not just a couple of fantastic individuals.
I couldnât believe me own eyes against Israel.

Italyâs recent WC record is weird (or non-existant) to be fair. Failed to qualify for the last two tournaments and went out in group stages in previous two. 1 WC win since they won it in 2006.
I think Norway qualifying was just a matter of time and especially with the format with more teams.

Great atmosphere in Belfast! Could we arrange for both of us to qualify?

Sure, sure, but the Norwegian team is nothing like it was just 2 years ago. The improvement is extremely dramatic. You see it also in friendlies.
It did take StĂĽle Solbakken a fair time to get cohesion into the player group, but now it is more machine like and it hasnât been as cohesive as this since the 90s.
And that hasnât anything to do with individual player quality really (England a super good example of a team that used to have good individuals but a totally sucky team).
Wales and Northern Ireland both lead
Ah yeah offside. Cant complain itâs offside.

Yeah, for me, it was a matter of time before they would get the balance right and find âenoughâ quality (individual or collective) behind that attacking firepower to make it all work.
Whatâs the shape in attack, with Sorloth also starting? Does he play in a Salahesque role, inside right, or?

I would not say it is the same, he lays deeper in the centre usually to get the ball, as he is really good at holding it with his physique, but he doesnât have the speed of salah. But at other times, Solbakken changes it and then he is target man on top.
But usually, he is someone who sets up others due to his strenght. He has a lot of assists.
And we have a goalâŚ

I missed what happened to Bradley. Is he injured?
Suspended, too many yellow cards

Does seem to be a bit of a card magnet at the moment.
Iâm actually a little glad heâs not playing tbh, the way things are going there could be injuries

I am trying to find a bloody high quality diagram to post of how exactly Sørloth typically plays in both of Solbakkens formations, but I am totally failing at my google-fu at the moment. Shamefully so.
Anyway, he lays behind Haaland in the centre of the pitch, @Zoran
