Well, it's always a goalkeeper's fault, isn't it?

Always a goalkeeper's fault, but just thankfully the Manchester United lost there this season and took a bit of heat off us from all those years ago.

Well, I think he's a centre-back that can play that right back and he can play both roles.

And he actually said that tonight in his press conference.

Actually, it's funny enough that none of the journalists asked him the question about Trent Alexander-Arnold, what's been talked about today, why it wasn't Trent.

I think there's going to be a few stories maybe written tomorrow about that.

And also Harry Maguire wasn't even in the conversation.

So those two players you would think, you know, Trent Alexander-Arnold would seem the...

the ideal replacement for him but you don't understand what the relationship is between those two is it frayed after not being called up he clearly doesn't fancy him for want of a better phrase with his defensive capabilities and actually Chalabar can play across anywhere in the back line and does that allude to maybe a slight problem with one of the central defenders that he wants to cover as well I think that he if he wanted Harry Maguire and Trent Alexander-Arnold in the squad they'd be there already and

I think there's a set of circumstances and the type of player that he's bringing into the squad.

I think there's a big emphasis on the squad and the team rather than individuals.

And I think when you look at Chalaba, there's nothing in his record, in his international record, that stands up against Harry Maguire or Trent.

I mean, he's got one cap for England in a friendly, and that was the dismal performance against Senegal at the end of last season.

Well, yeah.

I mean, you look at his start in XI, it's almost picking itself, isn't it?

Rhys James is going to play at right-back.

Nico O'Reilly will play at left-back.

And then I think he's just looking at other options, what he's got that can be versatile.

And John's absolutely right.

He's always said that the group is more important than an individual.
