Good to have it confirmed from someone there, you can definitely hear that there's more whistling against the black players when they're on the ball. Have to be repurcussions for that.

There's never enough done against the likes of Serbia. I bet not one racist is ejected and banned for life from this game.

UEFA will fine Montenegro and maybe order a game behind closed doors, but no way any individuals are going to be punished.

I’d hope likes of Winks and Loftus-Cheek (if he either leaves Chelsea or they start actually playing him!) can hopefully improve the central midfield area, plus maybe unpopular opinion but once fully fit again I liked the look of Oxlade-Chamberlain in there.

Centre back wise we are indeed a little poo at mo, Stones is probably our best one but he has been a little inconsistent.

Maguire is decent enough, but compared to some of the centre backs we’ve had over years he Ain’t that spectacular.

Gomez has potential but needs to establish himself a bit more fully at Liverpool.

Yeah fair shout on some of those players. Never been that impressed with Stones but I think Gomez could be a very good player.

I think with midfield I guess I am looking for a player to grab the game by the neck and dictate and get it into the attacking players. Loftus cheek is a good player but I think he is a bit better further forward and we shall see how the Ox returns. He has a lot of competition for Liverpool as well as coming back from a very serious injury.

Not great so far, but enough firepower to get us out of trouble. Must move the ball a bit quicker, but also need to tighten up a bit because when we lose the ball we're in trouble every time.

I think people are quite naive to how racist people can be from everywhere around the world tbh
Pretty much this. Racism is easier to expose now in the internet age, which I think is the main reason why we hear so much about racist incidents in the news or on social media, but even racial issues in the UK pale in comparison to other countries, especially Eastern European ones.

They'll get fined about 20 quid and that'll be that.
Its constant at these eastern European countries and sadly, I cant see it changing anytime soon. It'll take a massive culture change and need to filter down the generations.
We're stuck with this sort of ignorance for the forseeable.

"Injury to Eric Dier and he (Rice) gets in...injury to Dier and Barkley gets in..."

Apparently you need two players to replace Eric Dier
