England Senior Team General Discussion Thread

He wasn't.

 

Saka is so talented. Wand of a left foot.

 

Serbia equalize with 25 seconds left of the 90 against Scotland lol.

 

I feel like we’re still playing the same system, with Foden left wing

 

This has become DIRE!! Come on

 

Foden can’t express himself on the left but can’t really blame Southgate here as Pep often plays him there too

 

I hope Scotland get through and we batter them at Wembley.

 

The imagination , creativity and those driving runs left the field with Grealish ..

 

We have just settled for this now, almost just like a training exercise in the last 20 minutes.

 

Bollocks. He did ok grealish. Saka was more threatening though

 

Twenty minutes later.. have any of the subs impressed ??

Haven’t seen anything from anyone... not even an input of energy

 

James is class. He's played the RWB role better than TAA has so far, and now he's outdoing a specialist centre-back in the back three.

 

Has TAA really impressed that much in an England shirt? Maybe I'm being harsh.

 

Absolute shite the last 20 minutes

 

BTW these friendlies are a waste of time

 

No, I wouldn't say so. That may be down to the system though.

 

Did you see the players playing for England in the last 20 minutes? It was practically our u21 side with Keane, Maguire and winks on top. Southgate giving them all a bit of playing time ready for the matches that matter. Give them a break.

 

Twitter will probably have beaten me to it on this one, but Bellingham: 19 passes, 100% completion rate.

Yes, I know...

 

He hasn't much recently because Southgate isn't playing him the way he's designed to be played.

 

Lots of positives. Grealish was class. Saka is undoubtedly chilwells understoody. Dcl was impressive. James looked excellent winks was class. Mount industrious. Sancho's best game.

Negative was the attitude of the players last 20 minutes. Theyre playing for places on Sunday. I expected more

 

Was there a single opportunity or shot in goal after Grealish went off??

Foden for example managed a few touches including one cross in the dying moments that came to nothing

 

I don’t think they are, it’s not like we have plenty of opportunities to try new things, especially with Southgate

 

No Grealish ...

 

Foden produced two excellent first time passes/crosses

 

Don't want to sound critical about a nervous 17 year old making his debut for his country, but he lost the ball in possession a few times. Looked very nervous to me. But this was to be expected I suppose.

 

For that last one he didn’t even look across to see if anyone was in there ... even the commentator said it was put into a dangerous area but there was nobody there
