I suppose Amad could play there but I thought Dalot had a decent game.
This is one of the problems with this system, wings backs who can defend *and* attack are rare.
Interesting to learn that Glasner doesn't actually favour 353, but felt it best suits the squad he inherited, he prefers 442.

Assuming it's not as straightforward as Tory + Reform current polling = GE majority win, what % of current Tory polling do you think are 'Never Farage' and would vote elsewhere or not at all?

We've missed LM's ability to step into midfield & pass thru the lines.
I thought Shaw did ok bombing forward at LB in ETH's back 4, so in theory should be ok starting as LWB, definitely worth a punt.
WHU's CBs look weak so I'd keep JZ.
Amad ineffective lately so I'd bench him for Cunha.

No exaggeration to say that Hagrid of Harry Potter fame could've been based on our Faculty Professor, the archetypal wild-looking bohemian Scotsman who we were all in awe/fear of...just as every Professor/Undergraduate relationship should be.

I doubt it's solely direct taxation per person, rather it will also include indirect taxation e.g. when a person spends money on a product/service run by another person/company e.g. rent, food shopping, using a plumber, etc, that other person/company's tax liability increases.

''...and threatens the budget itself?''
I know you didn't mean this, but it raises a fourth question.
Should the Budget be scrapped as an event, as it's clearly become just another part of the ever increasingly performative newstainment cycle?

Before the Mcr derby RA was asked how he'd prepped the squad, and he replied with a total lack of self-awareness saying because Pep plays various systems they had to spend a lot of time going thru each possible formation. I thought then, if the penny hasn't dropped it never will!

Fair play Peter, better team won and importantly Moyes adapted to the sending off. I don't want Amorim to fail because it means Utd failing, but can't see us having any meaningful success with his stubbornness.

💯 We gained no advantage with his refusal to adapt after the sending off. Bad enough having 3 CBs marking 1 striker v 11 men, but v 10 it's ridiculous, esp when none of them can play forward, Bruno had to keep dropping back to receive the ball.

I would've preferred a draw but as Eze is in my fantasy team I'm not complaining 😊

Indeed, I would always send books for their children's birthdays via AmazonUK and it was noticeable how much shipping costs increased post-Brexit.
Last year though I negated them by buying directly from the Amazon site of where they lived. I had to create a new account but otherwise seamless.
