Is Mainoo the answer to England's midfie...

THE TIMES
About this episode


Are points deductions fair, what's the point of a football regulator, and should Kobbie Mainoo start for England?

Martin Samuel, Gregor Robertson and Tony Cascarino join Tom Clarke to ask if you’d rather have a good centre forward or a good lawyer? As Nottingham Forest fall foul of the regulator are points deductions the best way to tackle the problem? Should more money go to the wider football pyramid and what happens if it doesn’t?

Back on the pitch have England found their midfield answer, will Kobbie Mainoo be the late edition that balances the team? If he makes the squad, then who misses out – Maddison, Henderson, Bowen…? 

Finally, best Brazilians to ever play in the Premier League…?
