Yeah, so it’s kinda 50/50 as to whether having more teams is a help or a hindrance in that regard I suppose.
Arguably having more in the CL is a hinderance, as more likely that at least some get knocked out early.
If Dortmund win the CL and finish 5th in the league, then Germany get 6 CL places next season.
Not sure if that means one place less in the EL or ECL, but if not probably makes it slightly harder for England to get the extra CL spot by being in top two country coefficients.
@Paullow any idea?
Unlike ETH, Eddie wouldn’t be stupid enough to put a midfielder at CB.
Just play Dalot or Wan-Bissaka there and stick someone else at full-back. Surely much better to have a major weakness there than at CB?
Yeah, it’s not the worst result they’ve ever had in the PL obviously, but watching it, they were so devoid of anything positive, it felt like that was actually the worst I can ever remember seeing them.
At the minute he’d only be able to play in behind closed doors friendlies. Although from the presser today it sounds like we might be trying to explore whether that could be relaxed.
Not sure where GallowgateShots are getting they’re info from, but it’s bollocks.
Anthony Taylor’s done 3 of our games this season and booked Bruno once.
