Who is more overrated due to England performances Welbeck or Townsend?
Tough one.

I think Andros is very poor for us. But a lot could be down to being used solely as a RW. He is so predictable when playing there, he will cut in and shoot regardless of his options. If the shot happens to not get blocked by the 3 defenders surrounding him it will probably be in row Z. With England his best work has been when drifting in from the LW spot where he has the capability to go outside and get a cross in our shoot on his very strong right foot. It may be his un-natural foot but it's definitely been more accurate for shots on goal!

Townsend just needs more opportunity at club level instead of those foreigners.

Says Wenger, Van Gaal, Rodgers and Koeman.
He has to be played on the left and never again on the right. I can see already 4 days before he does it that he is going to cut onto his left and shoot high and wide on Sunday!

Did anyone actually watch that U21 match? On the strength of one dribble and about 15 seconds of extensive scouting I've decided that one of the German players, Younes is going to be a superstar.

Anyone know anything about him? Just the way he ran with the ball screamed "proppa footballa" to me.

They said the same about Lewis Holtby. I'm a big fan of the way Germans go about producing talent, but even they have stuff ups!
