Clare isn’t in the squad despite getting much better going forward
Hall is on the bench, one free kick and one good cross against FG, apart from that he’s been poor, far too lightweight and tries too many tricks and usually loses the ball ...

Clare has looked much better going forward, but still needs to work hard when not in possession and to drop back and cover.
Away from home it's maybe better to have harder working and more flexible players on the bench. Hall, Hanson and Forde may not be perfect, but they can cover a number of positions whilst Shodipo and Agyei can offer width and pace (when they're on their game).
Not as controversial a selection as some want to make out!
I'd personally have Clare in there instead of Hall to come on, but there's pace there with Shodipo as well. Could you get away with one of Forde or Hanson in there and have both Clare and Hall or are they probably too similar?
