He's got his limits for sure but it's pretty obvious that he brings an awful lot to a side. Used correctly he is incredibly effective.Look at that Giroud lover.
Internationals October (Nations League + Euro 2021 play-offs + Friendlies)

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are joined by special guest Anders (@Lyng) to celebrate the news that ETH is staying put! They also talk about the Euros so far, with special attention on England, Scotland and Denmark. They then finish with some transfer talk and the potential comings and outgoings at Old Trafford.
No, it's a fashion statement.
Agreed and particularly true for France.
When are they thinking of even playing the nations league finals? I assumed March but seems world cup qualifiers are starting then.
Think last time was June 2019 but the euros are starting then unless it's used as a warm up event (probably makes sense as they'd just be playing 2-3 friendlies instead).

No bloody idea. Feels there is too many games. I assume they put those teams in groups with less teams again?
I don't get the support for a coach in the most sophisticated league in the world, with the talent coming from the U20 world cup winners and also some good senior players but chooses to play defensive tactics against the likes of Iceland and Denmark. Capello and to a certain extent Sven got pilloried for the same.
I just get the impression that he's a good political appointment for the FA. a media darling who is articulate and really lacking in any coaching nous
October 2021
Yeah. Also made of polystyrene.
What a ball from Bruno. On a plate
about United go all out for Didier Deschamps as manager?
With Euros and World Cup to participate in over next 20 Months, he probably wouldn’t come before 2022/3 season.
But he could be amazing as well as attracting lots of top French talents.

Fantastic defensive header by Felix.
Tribute to LeBron
They're allowed to foul as much as they want apparently... what is going on
We're playing well though, boring game but a draw is a good result

I wish UEFA would start a serious pitch quality control protocol
This pitch in gdansk is a potato field

True. That hernandez guy is a foul machine
Any sign of Pogba starting to get his legs back?
A lot of talent in the two teams, but the game isnt very eventful.
Such a dull game.
Barely any shots from either side and ton of fouls.

Also @duffer what the feck did you guys do to jorginho anyways, he used to be such a good player 
Brand New Gobbo missed an open goal tap in from 5 yards out. We're better but not by that much and the pitch makes this closer to beach football than anything...

Kante ending the half without a yellow card is a miracle
Perfect example of a ref making a game more boring, we'd have a lot more space to attack if he'd given the obvious yellow cards they deserved. Instead there's a foul every time we attack
Based on that first half, No.
Think the match is pretty good a lot of fast counters and good effort from both sides.
Feels like a Ronaldo goal is incoming

Starting to get a bit better but was caught wrong side a couple of times. His passing has been better and actually showing a lot of effort
No, he is frankly sluggish.
Thought a yellow was fair, no? It was a tough one but there was no intentCareful now, Ruben Dias shouldn't be on the field.
Not really, misplaced a few less passes I guess.
In what world elbowing someone isn't a red? There was all the intent in the world, he led with his elbow from start to finish. And it wasn't an aerial duel.
I'd like to see Cancelo for Semedo since France are giving a lot of space to our fullbacks but I'm not sure Santos will trust Cancelo defensively against Mbappe
The effort is there but which is good to see
But he trusts Semedo????
Wtf was he like before.Also @duffer what the feck did you guys do to jorginho anyways, he used to be such a good player

Good! Not a turnover machine!
He's off balance going for the ball and Giroud is moving in the opposite direction. It was a foul and it was dangerous but a red would have been way too harsh
Wtf was that scheme
That was 37 year old Pepe running alongside Mbappe by the way
His balance was perfectly fine and his elbow has nothing to do there and he actually hits him, it's not a clash.
France/Portugal is being played at a walking pace.
I haven't seen Ronaldo play in a while -- he looks slow, but so does Pogba, Mbappe and everyone else.... except, Pepe looks speedy. So does Varane.
