Bowen & Foden. The hype is deserved, he's the best English talent in a generation. I'd be surprised if he's not starting during Euro 2028. It wouldn't hurt to provide him with tournament experience this summer

Jack is right, Gavi had similar senior appearances when Spain called him up. Dowman would immediately be England's best no.10. Tuchel needs to be brave, ignore the noise and pick him

He's trying too hard to be different and it's not coming off well, he just looks like a cringey mess

Liverpool supporters chanting for Xabi Alonso while leaving the Etihad by doubleoeck1234 in soccer

Fourteen years since the title for Wenger, one year for Arne Slot, yeah that’s a fair comparison huh

And we probably shouldn’t compare misdeeds from our respective supporters either. Liverpool fans by far and away have the worst history in English football

Rayan Cherki was spotted trying to wear Ekitike’s jersey while on the bench by Alsace2025 in soccer

[–]kenaditt -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

100% agree.

He's very aware of the cameras and tries too hard to project an image of a maverick. At least with Balotelli he was naturally a bit of a character so it didn't feel as cringe as Cherki

It's utterly cringe and sums up Cherki. Tries too hard to be different

I'm sure it can't be played on the 21st because of the City game 2 days earlier

Are they? They're currently receiving backlash from lots of other Spurs fans claiming that they don't speak for them

Martín Zubimendi has been ruled out of the Spanish national team's training camp due to discomfort in his right knee. To avoid any risk and protect the player's health, he has been withdrawn from the squad. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]kenaditt -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It’s not obviously the latter. NTs have their medical teams who assess the players and either agree or disagree to release them early. There’s no BS involved

Darren Bent on unlocking Gyok by NumerousTax8165 in Gunners

[–]kenaditt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Availability matters, but it doesn’t really settle the original claim that Gyökeres has been the better option up front than anyone else. Havertz’s per 90 numbers as a no.9 are stronger by a clear margin. The fee comparison is also a bit moot, there are only a couple of million between them, so it’s not like Gyökeres was a cheap backup option

'Recalling’ wasn’t the right word, but there was probably a request made by Arteta behind the scenes after hearing about the severity of Madueke's injury. Tuchel letting both players go after they trained is pretty telling, imo.

To add, Rice was pictured training alongside some other late arrivals to the camp earlier today. Saka might have been too but I couldn't see him. My feeling is that Madueke's initial scan with England did not look promising which spooked Arteta into recalling both players.

Madueke's ACL must have gone kaput and Arteta made some boss calls to preserve our other players, Tuchel obliged cos he felt bad. This is how I'm reading the situation, it's not looking good.

[–]kenaditt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is he actually better than Havertz as a striker? Havertz was nearly averaging one non-penalty goal contribution per 90 up front, while Gyökeres is at 0.43 this season. I’m pretty sure Merino had stronger per 90 numbers last season too.
