What Do You Think?

  • I don't understand why we keep coming back to milner, he's been poor in early season and in internationals in general, why not bring in the future like jack rodwell? But the rest of the squad looks like a really good decision with a mix of experience and youth, hodgson's decision making so far has been very goodBy tom311 (8 months ago)
