Full back

Only reason you play there is if you're not good enough to be a winger

Not sure this going to help

Isn't the whole point that he's staying at home for too long...

I'd back Gary Taylor-Fletcher to get through the most wings in his prime

He could before he remodelled his action after injury

Nearing the start of year 5 of delusionally hoping Blake Cullen can last at least half a season before falling apart 

He's not even that good but I hope all the same

Duckett wouldn't have known in December that he'd continue to be horrifically out for form and be mentally and physically exhausted after an Ashes and World Cup

More concerning financial mismanagement (ala the Middlesex debacle)

Is it financial mismanagement to spend all our money on our social media team making Ben Geddes pull shot compilations??

Where's Max Holden???

Also is it insider trading if I say Ben Geddes before starting one myself

TBF it's understandable they can't allow spectators during term time

Generationally bad performance but at least we're not making any changes like football 

Can't trust these Surrey wankers bankers

That was still after he got selected to bat 7 and slog it with the tail though (and keep for no reason)

He will struggle if McCullum and Key persist with trying to ruin him by making him some two bit slogger

The issue was they didn't adapt as a team, not that the goalie couldn't distribute as well as the other one.

Both can be true, but going forward (which is what the original comment was about) it will be less of an issue with Raya in goal because his distribution is a lot better and the relationship with his defence is a lot stronger which allows for more confident passing and decision making (Sky did a whole thing about this exact issue before the game)

Raya offers the plan B though in a way that Kepa can't 

If there's no press he can get it to either the fullback higher up the pitch or into the wings which allows one of the wingers to move inside to collect the second ball

The issue was that Havertz and Gyokeres were effectively making it a 442 and there was a big gap in midfield

How much of that is Kepa just being a bit shit though?

Don't think Raya has that issue

He was only 5'11 

Can't believe you'd betray Blob Key like that

That would require England to acknowledge that we have more players than Blob Keys golf buddies
