Nothing the FA's do can possibly compensate for points dropped or cups lost.

I see he got taken off injured around 27 minutes tonight! really hope it isn’t serious!!. Our run of injuries is crazy, if we manage to win the title it proves PC is a miracle worker!. Sterling to replace him at LB or Borna?.

Nothing unrealistic about it ... because at no point did I say I thought these tournaments would be scrapped. I merely think they should be.

I think, but stand to be corrected, that the FAs are liable for injuries on International Duty, and financial recompense is made.

So, our National XI was horsed, fairly readily, 4 goals to nil, by a Dutch side without Sam Lammers - HE was not even on the bench !! Perhaps the country should be grateful for small mercies. Koeman, probably, is keeping him up his sleeve, as a wild card, for the Euro Championships.

Sterling for me. He never let's us down. Borna checked out months ago IMO.

International football is an anachronism whose time has passed. We should no longer be expected to fund a player base for national teams to choose from, while clubs take the risk and bear the consequences. Having finally got a decent left back up and running we now face the prospect of having to field a clearly second choice player and jeopardising our competitive objectives.

Hope its nothing serious but with his previous injury record and our luck, you never know. In my opinion, and I'll be in the minority, if he is to miss out on games, his replacement will be Borna (Sterling at a push depending on how our centre-mid looks). Barasic is a natural left back and Sterling is a right-footed utility player. Just emphasi that we need quality replacements in that area and that pointless international friendlies should be scrapped.

I thought I'd got it wrong when you said he was a Walloon.

No chance. Where would I get my news if I did that? 😂

Derek Dougan - Wolves and Northern Ireland. Sure he played in 1958 World Cup and helped Wolves to 1972 UEFA Cup Final
