I hope our players pretend to be injured and withdraw from the upcoming international break. Some NTs are playing 3 bloody matches!

Depends on who. I reckon there's some (Ziyech especially) that could do with the match practice.

Any of our players that might have the 3 matches international break?

Germany is playing 3 matches for example

Lazy to check all () but I know England, Germany, Italy and France each will be playing 3 matches in the upcoming INT break.

Taken out of under 21 set up and placed in the England first team.

He's come on for his England debut.

[Tomo 21,681]

He's been excellent throughout the international break and there's a real opening for that RB spot because Trent can't seem to replicate his club form at International level.

He was very good tonight on his full England debut. Glad Gary Neville picked that up as well at the end. Stood out at 11 vs 11 and even with England a man down, he played really well. Put in some excellent crosses tonight.

What has he told to ref that he shown him red?

[Fulham Broadway 16,385]

Just showing passion at a totally inept referee

[OneMoSalah 8,611]

Just down to lack of experience and letting his emotions get the better of him. No idea what was said but at the 94th minute why get involved with that? If it had happened at club level though it would be more frustrating.

No love for James? Two sensational performances put in this week and his thread is untouched, lol!

No doubt when he has a poor game next this thread will explode with more Lamptey love in!

He massively improved defensively this season. There were times where he switched off or looked disinterested last season but he's been very good so far. I wish he would take more risks either with his passing or running with the ball but I'm sure it will come when he gains more confidence.

He was fantastic yesterday. Very impressed with his performance. 

[killer1257 3,282]

Finally he is getting better defensively. Lampard improved him finally

Some people will know that I am a long term believer when it comes to Reece. While I fully support anyone who wants to form and express an opinion on whatever evidence they find persuasive, I feel there have been some hasty pronouncements on both sides of the argument. A few good games don't prove much and nor do a few bad ones. It's way too soon for me to say definitively that Reece has begun to fulfil his promise, and too soon also for posts of the type I read a few moths ago which said, not good enough. Get rid,  or words to that effect. We've seen both positive and negative evidence from Reece and that can only really mean that we need more information before reaching a definitive conclusion.
