In the Algarve
Must have been one heck of a trek that's for sure. I'm not so sure many people did make the journey, for that very reason.
The French did.

Is he going by sea? Mali is landlocked.
Africa Cup of Nations is in Cameroon which has c400km of coastline
Sanchez 7.5 - a really good save at a crucial time , claimed the ball well when needed against a team that likes to play high balls
Veltman 7 - would have kept him on and played lamptey up front
Cucurella - 7.5 not as good coming forward this came but a decent defender
Burn - 9 massive game for the big lad. Took his chance well but key was his defending. He was our best defender looking very assured
Bissouma - 7.5 great effort but could see he was tiring
Webster - 7.5 restrained - maybe still carrying a knock but good performance but no surging runs
Lallana - 7 Not his best game and a weak prod at the ball to give away the OG which keeper had covered. I think our form this season owes a lot to his presence though.
Mwepu - 6 .5 - some great work followed by some poor stuff needs to be more streetwise in defence
Trossard - 6.5 quieter game
MacAllister - 9 MOTM because of the goals and overall contribution - needed to do better for the first goal
Maupay - 7.5 a handful as always and unlucky with his shot. Great awareness for the first goal.
Duffy 7 -did well on coming on
Lamptey 6.5 - did not get into his running game and caught out a bit when defending
You don’t really see it on TV, but Lallana’s influence on our play is enormous.

In that department, I fear it could get worse before it gets better for BissoumaBiss has an important meeting closer to home before he can set sail for Africa.
