Bobby subbed off after an hour.

Tactical?

They drew with Panama, wow.
Is Mané playing now in the Senegal match?

answer: yes, he played the full match. escaped a pretty disgusting challenge without injury in the 29th.

[redgriffin73]

Yeah, there was no issue with him, just swapped for Jesus.

Couldn't find any team list for it, just that Niang scored both their goals.

No doubt their manager plays him the full 90 in their next game.

Fuck sake, they had already qualified anyway. He better be rested for the next one.

[Caligula?]

Sadio should just half arse those Senegal matches.

Just seen that little lay off he did sublime

[bird_lfc]

Isn’t that what He was accused of doing anyway? I remember him in Tears at a recent game

I say he should retire immediately !

[Cu Chulainn]

Watched a bit of the second half of the England game and Hendo looked really good. Hopefully they'll give him a rest in the next game.

I'd think it's pretty nailed on he'll start. Montenegro away is one of the hardest fixtures on paper in our group and Henderson's very important to the team, especially with Eric Dier being ruled out.

Next game is a friendly as well.

He shouldn't be anywhere near it.

Their manager seems to misunderstand the need to protect their biggest star

90 mins every game

[Cu Chulainn]

Is it not then?

he's a sodding nuisance.

At least Egypt's manager and coaches realise the benefit of resting Mo when they can do! Granted Mo has had other issues with the federation, but at least he isn't played till he drops.

It's more that you feel there is a hard match in England's group.

Regardless of how easy the group is, there is still a hardest game and an easiest game.

[Barneylfc∗]

Robertson and Lovren both start.

[killer-heels]

Robertson and Lovren both start.

A plague on both their national team managers houses.

[DelTrotter]

Bit daft Robertson can't just be chilling at home after getting an abscess sorted, instead has to go over there to play a team of shop assistants, roofers and doctors. Ridiculous. I know Scotland are bad but they could leave his place empty, start with 10 and still win easily enough.

Yes, thank you for pointing that out, you're a life saver.

My original post wasn't that serious, hence that smiley thing.

Robbo starts against San Marino.

Assuming it’s a pretty shit pitch. Let’s hope he gets through in one piece and doesn’t have to come out of first gear

[Cu Chulainn]

Well, it may not be the hardest group, but Montenegro is one of the biggest obstacles in it. They took points off us a few years ago in a game where Rooney lost his temper and got sent off (surprise surprise ). So we'll need our best players, and Hendo is definitely one of those.

[Cu Chulainn]

Lovren starting is good for us, isn't it? He's barely played in ages, he needs games.

After what happened Thursday, there was no way he wasn't starting today if he was at all available. Seems like he spent the press conference yesterday justifying not playing against Kazakhstan, despite the fact that he had a tooth pulled on Monday and still has stitches in his mouth. (He played against Fulham on painkillers and 2 cans of Red Bull.)

It appears as though both escaped unscathed.

[oojason]

Van Dijk and Wijnaldum both start for Netherlands vs Germany.

[jason67]

I thought Lovren was injured, how come he played tonight?

[IanZG]

Wilson played almost the whole game for Wales, but seemed to have struggled a bit. Only watched the first half, but he didn't get involved a lot and his set piece delivery was poor. Had a nice dribble which drew a yellow card for one of the opposition players, but that's about all worth noting from that half.

[Crimson_Tank]

Just seen that little lay off he did sublime

Yeah, my brother sent it to me. amazing.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

I thought Lovren was injured, how come he played tonight?

Because he wasnt injured. Hes been fit for  the last three weeks

Another poxy friendly.

The qualifiers are bad enough at this time of season, but they have to be played at some point - these friendlies are pointless and shouldn't be happening IMO.

This isnt a friendly though. Their first match was I believe

Ah right....i stand corrected i was told was a friendly.

Holland and Germany in same qualifying group, some draw that.

[gaztop08]

Both games for Netherlands are Group C qualifier matches.No friendlies.

[bird_lfc]

Sky reporting Hendo faces a fitness test before the game tonight?

[an tha]

Who would have thought that a player who was injured and unable to play in his clubs last game would have struggled with playing Friday and then being fit to play again on Monday....
