England Senior Team General Discussion Thread

Wow. Almost shit myself there.

 

That was the defenders fault as well. He was standing directly in front and only moved out the way in the last few seconds.

 

Matterface and Dixon are so negative

 

They've deserved it

 

Can see that coming a mile away

 

Did they ********. Theyve done eff all all game. Just shit defending

 

Is this one of those occasions when Southgate isn’t being brave and making a few changes I wonder!

 

1-0, no subs, equaliser. Iconic Southgate.

 

That was coming. We had more than enough chances to get more goals and kept taking the wrong option or just kept fluffing our lines.

 

Makes no real difference for us. Well stil top the group easily.

 

Southgate is so negative. Too defensive for my liking

 

A point virtually guarantees qualification anyway

 

Quite clear to see some of the players are knackered but Southgate won’t make one change!

 

Why such an excessive celebration? They have almost no chance of winning the group.

 

No subs at all? Seems madness. 1-1 isn't a bad result but I don't get southgate's lack of subs.

 

No subs vs the opposition who made all five, including the goalscorer. Amateur stuff

 

Because they are going for 2nd

 

Yep, not too much to worry about really. Poland is somewhere we rarely win in and we didn't NEED to win either.

 

Has to be said, the ref being a total homer didn't help... but it wasn't the decisive factor.

 

They just care about qualifying. They know they won't top the group.

 

24 points guarantees us topping the group, and if we assume that Andorra and San Marino are in the bag, then it's two points from home games with Hungary and Albania.

 

I get that, but they acted like it was a winner in a final.

 

Yeah. A point is a good result for them given the current table.

 

Threw that away, apart from the last 5 minutes when it was bloody obvious to everybody that the team needed subs in a funny kind of way this was the best performance we had this week, got better as the second half wore on and stood up to MASSIVE provocation, the Polish celebrating like they've just won the world cup is a bit odd?

 

Yeah, a point is just fine and probably would have taken it before the game but it’s just frustrating when we dominate the game, they make changes and look fresher but Southgate doesn’t make one change when it was clear some of the players looked spent in that last 10 mins. We keep hearing about our strength in depth that we have on the bench but obvious someone didn’t send the memo to Southgate!
