        Turner has made some errors that have cost games think he benched for the foreseeable.

      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Good luck. I don't see the logic myself. He either a) starts, b) on the bench or c) isn't in the squad. If its C) he would have been auto subbed. If its A) you are praying he gets subbed early. If its B) against Burnley unless they are struggling to score or there is an injury I can't see a scenario where he comes on therefore he gets auto subbed.

        I think it will be a bit different this week given its international break next. My hunch is Arteta will deploy him tactically, so can see a benching and coming in if they need him.

          They should be able to beat Burnley without him. If he's not in the squad or doesn't feature its easier for Arteta to tell Southgate he isn't fit.

        Are you not better waiting until the week after the IB? Just thinking about what tends to happen with the South American contingent after an IB, would put you off having them on a WC? Bound to be a few players who are injury doubts during the week too where you'll be waiting till the pressers which isn't ideal on a WC with the value side, thinking if Saka doesn't feature today and then not for England you're sweating on that etc

      its all relative really, if you were going to score 11 pts you were better doing it last week when the average was so low. You could score 50 pts this week which looks much better but if the average is closer to 100 its a much worse week.
