Adam Hurrey is joined on the midweek Adjudication Panel by Charlie Eccleshare & David Walker. On the agenda: a cultural review of England 2 Italy 1, Alan Brazil gets his head around the "Barclaysman" concept, the threshold for "weathering an early storm", Florian Wirtz blind-ranking potatoes and Troy Deeney offers some precious insight into being an elite-level player.

Meanwhile, the panel discuss when it is appropriate to say a club have "got their man" in the transfer market and suggest some unoriginal football articles that never need to be written again.
