I know Mac. National disaster.

I suppose that's inevitable when you've been reduced to fielding players who are on loan to Championship and League One teams and still can't get a game. It's not as if our countless injured players are any good anyway.

There's a major lack of quality players. Matt Doherty was a pretty good player though...until he joined Spurs.

Anyway, only two games into qualifying and already I know I'll be watching the World Cup as a neutral. Again.

Jack I suppose from that perspective at least there is no lingering hope that Ireland normally leave, only for it to be dashed.

Germany are losing to North Macedonia though, which is amusing.

Well, the international break was so bad that I was desperate for it to end.

And, now that it's ended, things have got worse. Much, much worse.

Frankly, we were absolutely terrible. It's like we reverted to our November/December form. Although Saka and Smith Rowe had a good day. Because it turns out we are miserable failures when they're not playing.

Yes Jack, their importance very much increased.

Having said that, it was without David Luiz and Xhaka too.

We've not won since beating Tottenham so clearly that was our season right there and then.
