Seems like a strange attitude mate. Kane is going to get fairly comfortable if the only replacement options are Rashford who is inconsistent and never plays for his club, or Welbeck who is even less consistent and plays even less than never for his club. I thought the idea of a squad was to keep competition levels up.
It’s England all over though mate, you highlighted Lallana yourself (I do like him), but it always amazes me how players who are not playing (Lallana, Welbeck, Loftus-Cheek,Delph) are in over others who are playing well (Walcott, Wilson, Hughes,Chilwell, Maddison,Gray) some seem to be established and others will never get a chance.
We’re only 3 games into the season so maybe he’s sticking with what he knows for now.

City v the sleeping giants.

My son is visiting his Auntie in Cheshire this week. She took him on The Etihad tour today. Really good apparently. He has some cracking pictures, my favourite is him looking bemused in the trophy room, he is a Toon fan and doesn't understand the concept😂. I presume you have done it. He is not a convert but there was a grudging respect 😁

See Spurs can’t play at home in their cup game so have asked if they can play at Milton Keynes just to protect their fan allocation.

Personally I think if the Home Club isn’t available, then it should be played at Watford!

Just like last year we get the hardest Champion's League group. Hopefully we'll top it like last year as well! Getting Inter was a bit of blow given how crap every other pot 4 team was, but them's the breaks. Liverpool's group is no picnic either. Man City will sleepwalk through theirs though. United shouldn't have any problems sneaking through in 2nd.

I don't mind really. There was about a 7/8 chance of getting a top team from pot 1 anyway, so that was always going to happen. Two years ago we got the 'easy' draw (since no one expected Monaco to be as good as they were, and I think CSKA were actually the pot 1 team), but we didn't look up for it at all and got dumped out. So perhaps it's better to have some big opponents you can raise your game for. I was at the home game where we beat Real last season and that was fantastic, obviously. That is ultimately what you're in the Champions League for.

That’s not the hardest group - PSV and Inter are far from the teams they used to be - they should give Spurs no problems at all , people look at the names as opposed to the current situation of the club. Man Utd will have a tougher task because Valencia are no pushovers , Group A is the nasty one.

Would think we have he hardest group out of the English teams.

Well you would think that, haha. The fact is Barca are much better than PSG, Napoli are better than Inter, but I'd expect PSV to be better than Red Star, so I say our group shades it on difficulty. Inter have an excellent side these days, on paper at least - Handanovic is a world class keeper, Miranda starts at the back for Brazil, Nainggolan one of the world's best box-to-box players has gone there, and they have a strong attack featuring Perisic and Icardi. Valencia side is not a patch on that, but United are struggling anyway at the moment so they could slip up there.
