I’d say the last few weeks have boosted Bazunu’s confidence significantly. It must have been pretty low a few weeks back though.

Jesus that's a weak French squad
Christ were going to be slaughtered, I'd say the weakest French player in that squad would be a top player for us

Kenny will outwit the floundering Deschamps by playing a ghost in the centre of the pitch

What would you change in it though?
Only thing would be to swap out with Hendrick and McGrath with Azaz and Szmodics (who both have no experience at international level), but even with that it's still a decent midfield based on form.

The phrase is - an asses roar - because they are loud when when they call, ass as in the animal. Did you see many arses roaring in your time ? FFS

I'd have him there ahead of McGrath and possibly Sykes but as someone said maybe on a backup list fair enough. We need his experience and cool head off the subs bench to steady things if we are chasing a goal or defending a lead. Smallbone unproven at international level as well so the jury is out. |

There has been loads more poorer squads then this one. It's still weak enough but quibbling over a few fringe players, who may or may not improve it a little can't change the situation we are in. I am more optimistic than usual though as Ferguson and Obafemi could be a very good partnership and Smallbone is getting better having played a full season so far. By March 28th I'll most likely be pessimistic again, but it's best to enjoy this period of the campaign, the bit where we haven't played yet.

It's pretty much as expected - I had hoped he might have announced an extended squad to give the fringe players in good form a chance to impress and maybe even get some minutes against Latvia if they do well, but he doesn't seem to like introducing more than 1/2 new faces per squad.

We're decent enough..

Id like to see Sykes play against Latvia. Hes in good form and has scored a few already this season. Him and Ferguson in that game i want to see.

Quality squad. Young and inexperienced in some areas, but they have a lot of potential. That's potentially two of Lilian Thuram's sons capped at senior level. Khéphrem is a good talent. The one thing I will say is that a lot of their attackers needs space to run into. If we play with a low block, that can nullify some of them. Theo and Griezmann will be their key men in terms of creativity.

Not one premiership level midfielder. Kind of says it all really.
