@ThatCovPod We need to drive forward from midfield - is Gus the player to do it? Grimes and Yirenkyi haven’t shown the capability so far.

[Jimmy T @SkyBlueJimmyT]

Gus - interested to see him start
Onyeka - nicely physical but conservative play
Mfuni - looks good again but seems more keen to score than stay back, no doubt born of frustration

Our new signings - where tf are they?!
#PUSB

[Jimmy T @SkyBlueJimmyT]

Rushworth - quiet, kicked ok
MVE - without his long throw he would be out of the team
Thomas - solid
Pinnock - read the game well
Dasilva - tried, underwhelmed
Grimes - chipped useless passes around, needs to be dropped
Yirenkyi - so disappointing
#PUSB

[Jimmy T @SkyBlueJimmyT]

Tats - love him, worked his socks off, did his moves, won countless headers
Rudi - our only spark, can’t do it alone
BTA - love him but anonymous
Cherif - quicker than he realises, needs support

EMC - not good enough at this level
Awoniyi - out fought

BBC News spent Sunday referring to Jim Ratcliffe as one of Britain's richest men, except, he's an immigrant in Monaco, having moved there to avoid paying £4 billion in tax.

They screen him complaining about those on benefits, even though he grew up in a council house, went to state school, had free university education, and has taken hundreds of millions in public state support from the UK, French and German governments.

They screen him talking about broken Britain which is poor, but don't mention that he is a Brexiter, and Brexit has made the country poorer.

Our national broadcaster should have spent the day providing context to his criticisms, instead they wrapped it in a bow, pushed it out, to stoke further division in society.

I remember when the BBC was so much better than this, and I hope one day it will return to having better standards, than to simply churn out divisive nonsense masquerading as news and analysis.

@NiiLampteyShow 1. Do you think the fan reaction after just two games is absurd and overblown?
2. Is this squad really good enough to make the playoffs next season?

Cherif is Cov. 💠

@Anthony_Hornsby Almería, Spanish Second Division. Seems like a good fit for him!

FIFA, amazingly, doesn't set the Laws of the Game. That's done by the International Football Association Board, IFAB.

IFAB consists of the English, Welsh, Scottish, and Irish FAs (one vote each) and FIFA (four votes, on most matters), and usually six votes are needed to decide things.

But the way the IFAB Statutes are set up the four home associations could work together to expel FIFA from the IFAB because on votes on expulsion the member to be expelled is deemed to have abstained.

So, the home nation associations could essentially confiscate the Laws of the Game from FIFA.

Beginning to think I’m never going to see England reach a World Cup final in my lifetime, never mind lift the trophy.

We don’t go for it in the big matches. We’re too cautious. There’s a lack of belief there when it’s crunch time. No idea how we change it. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Tuchel was supposed to be the guy who got us over the line. In Atlanta, he saw the line and he shrank away from it. Sat back and invited Argentina on. Is that really all he's got?

[Sky Blues Blog @skybluesblog]

You scored two goals in the entire tournament and both of those came in the short time BTA was on the pitch.

You won one game and have BTA to directly thank for that.

Zero shots on target and crashing out with a whimper, I’d say getting BTA on the pitch was necessary.

🇬🇭 Brandon Thomas Asante since coming off the bench to give an assist against Panama.

• 0 minutes vs England
• 19 minutes vs Croatia
• 0 minutes vs Colombia

19 minutes in three games for one of our only attacking players with a goal contribution is unacceptable.

Thirty years of insomnia. 1am kick offs are supposed to be my time to shine. Don’t take this away from me.

[Coventry City @CoventryCityFC]

We’ve got Super Frankie Lampard. 💎

[Jimmy T @SkyBlueJimmyT]

0-0. Meh. I’m more annoyed we didn’t get to watch Thomas-Asante representin’ ☹️
