I think something of a false equivalence… First, there isn’t the same coverage of Jordan as with Asare. The Asare coverage is hyperbolic. Second, Jordan did face a higher degree of difficulty suggesting enhanced transferability (particularly the set piece assists) at an international level. However, I also don’t think anyone necessarily expects Jordan to repeat this output vs higher level opposition, most likely recognising the context of it & no one is expecting him to translate this to the Championship etc. So overall, less hyperbole around it leading to less overall pushback & people are cognisant of the context without needing for it to be highlighted.

Always interesting! Kojo Oppong parlays his strong start at Nice into a selection (as an additional defender) whilst Kwasi Sibo has bumped Salis/Sulemana out. Köhn out for Ebenezer Annan. Fatawu back with Afriyie out. Prince Owusu a VERY left field AM pick, no youth caps!
