Could just use the continental competitions as the qualifiers for the World Cup. Last 8 from each get to play at the World Cup? Only need euro qualifiers then (or copa america etc) which could be done in a three week tourney in the previous June/July. Simple. But we all know it’s just more games to make more money in the eyes of FIFA and UEFA.

The nations league could easily be used for the Euro qualifiers.
Having it alongside it is baffling to be fair.
The fact is all but one of the leagues 2nd tier goes silent and even the third tier in England has three games.
There is a repetitiveness bordering on the pointlessness
Taking the best right back in the world and shoehorning into midfield… Peak Southgate…
Don’t you think if he could influence a game better in midfield Klopp would be playing him there you donkey…

Trent is starting tonight.
To be fair I think the full-back and midfield roles are very different at Liverpool and England. Trent did used to be a midfielder and there have been a few on here who have imagined him going back into midfield for us someday. Still, it does feel like experimentation for experimentation sake for Southgate to try it now, he’s got Bellingham and Hendo ready to come into midfield if he’s going to rest Rice and Philipps. Not bad options.

Or to me he doesn’t have a scooby how to tactically set up for a playmaking right back…
Now has three right backs on the pitch!

Playing in midfield with Henderson and Bellingham. Be interesting to see this even against the lame opposition it will be good to see how he gets on tactically
Don’t hear any boos when the players taking the knees at Wembley. That’s massive progress.
BTW, the match is on ITV. Should be able to stream it from their website or app with VPN?

Impressive footwork by Bellingham.
I think it’s started to dawn on a few what it actually means, especially after what happened in the final.

I am very impressed with Bellingham so far. His control and footwork are amazing. No wonder so many on the forum wants FSG to get him.

Celebrating if you scored the winner in the WC final against Brazil, you are playing fucking Andora Lingard 
Trippier is terrible. Every ball he passed or kicked got intercepted or deflected.
The only thing we are learning about TAA is that he hasn’t played in midfield very much. Dixon giving it the beans with the ‘he can’t defend’ routine. Jesus wept.
I think that the pundits should be fined $1000 and donate to the charity of TAA choice each time they spilled that shite of a line.
