26/27 International Blues I

[blueToffee]

Thought Branthwaite might get a start but looks like nope...

Alexander-Arnold is set to play in a back four that also consists of Trevoh Chalobah, Marc Guehi and Lewis Hall. Hall is expected to replace Nico O’Reilly, who isn’t in the squad because of fitness issues, while Chalobah is in for Ezri Konsa, who is also unfit to start.

It's probably a fine backline for this sort of game, but it's another somewhat suspect back 4 for me.

Hopefully get torn apart

As long as he doesn't play Jarrod in next Tues game, Gueihi won't play 3 on the bounce so the Croatia game on Saturday will do , then a week's rest...

O’Brien and Johnson benched, Ireland and Wales both winning… just saying

O Brien came on last 15 minutes played well there is 4 games in 21 days the same team can’t play every game

Exactly the same for Johnson

Not sure if this was elsewhere, but for the non-International blues we apparently played a game against Blackburn behind closed doors. Finished 3-3. Fair amount of kids played plus a few looking to get some fitness back (Grealish, Norgaard).

Alcaraz Barry and a young 16 year old scored not sure about these 4 games seeing a fair amount of players getting injured
