Oh Stevie Gerrard...you are in trouble. Also, things are about to get difficult for Jesse Marsch...
Would actually not be completely stunned if Gary O’Neil went into the World Cup on an 11-game unbeaten streak – Spurs at home is a guaranteed 1-1 – before taking over from Gareth Southgate.Three upwardly mobile opponents and three locked in a downward spiral. Perhaps by the end of it we can actually be certain as to which group Brentford themselves belong.Graham Potter will have some squad rotation tricks up his sleeve; he always does.
After a remarkably difficult start pitted them against four of last season’s top five in their opening seven games,It is as mid-table as it comes for Frank Lampard but he might note that Everton’s two highest opponents before the World Cup are in away games, with pressure on getting as close to maximum as possible from those Goodison Park fixtures.It might be an idea to use those first few matches to sort out the defence before travelling to the Etihad.
