Simple football thoughts. Soft spot for @ManUtd.

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

Yeah but we're kinda shit so who would join?

[mufcmpb @mufcMPB]

🚨🚨🗣️ @David_Ornstein on Manchester United:

“They want players who are DESPERATE to join them, which proved not to be the case with [Mateus] Fernandes. They’ll go back to the drawing board, lick their wounds, and consider other options.” #MUFC [@TheAthleticFC]

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

Arsenal fans won't have it but Rice brings more to the team and helps others shine more from the right, not the left. MLS should be to the left of him and that saves you £100m for another midfielder

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

@StiIINiINiI Going into the WC yes. Would be harsh to drop Anderson now. Could be room if Rice goes RB but Tuchel will just put Bellingham there. Tuchel doesn't rate players with less intensity

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

Barely a smile from Mainoo. If England win it and he gets no minutes, I've got no doubt he's the type of person to say he didn't win the WC

🚨📸 - Marcus Rashford & Kobbie Mainoo smiling as England sing “Wonderwall” altogether as one. ❤️😍

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

As a United fan who's seen the club win it all, I've definitely been country > club for a long time. But I've not been fully won over by Tuchel and this iteration of England just yet. Undoubtedly to do with the fact there's little to no involvement of United players

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

Spurs spending this much money after the season they've had looks really irresponsible, especially under a manager who could implode at any time

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

After Spurs grabbed Matheus I was worried United would pivot to Tonali. Thank you Spurs

[David Ornstein @David_Ornstein]

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Tottenham Hotspur reach agreement with Newcastle United to sign Sandro Tonali. Deal for 26yo Italy international to join #THFC from #NUFC £92.5m + £7.5m in potential add-ons based around multiple Champions League qualifications @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/dWEZtjFzFK

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

Look silly now but don't think Kane's goals have really changed things previously. Equaliser and a winner both in one game today is so seismic it feels like a first

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

Kane gets goals but there's no doubt, he's never replicated his club form when it comes to England. But no one else does either, English players just don't do it

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

If Brazil go through, they've probably got a tasty semi final v Argentina

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

Mexico away at the Azteca is going to be such a tough game. That's a tougher game than a potential clash v Brazil. The emotional intensity involved there, the fervent crowd of a home nation could really overwhelm England if they go behind

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

I think v Brazil, it will feel like a PL game. Most of Brazil's starting XI has played in the PL. But player for player England have a better side. The worry is Vinicius Jr up against this nightmare situation England have at RB

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

Rooney saying Tuchel should've belled Kyle Walker hahaha

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

Saka littering on the pitch when the cameras were directly on him. Not my star boy

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

Worthy of a second yellow for Bellingham there...

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

@umirf1 Keep up 👀

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

At this rate England's RB is going to be Rice... could be good you know

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

Runners beyond Kane really is key to this England side. It didn't happen v Ghana but it came back against Panama, now we've just seen it again. Bellingham key in both

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

Gordon assist again

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

KANEEEEEEEEE

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

I take back what I said 5 minutes ago

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

Can't believe this is what it's come to but tbf, as soon as he moved, one minute later England score and he was heavily involved

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

This has actually happened in a vital KO game. Tuchel big brain move

[Big Sam @Allardyci]

At this rate England's RB is going to be Rice... could be good you know
