England Senior National Team General Discussion Thread

But crap to pull Livramento from the 21s then not play him.

 

Palmer just starts getting into the game then gets subbed off.

 

Yeah, I'd have gone with Solanke to pair with Madueke. Although that chance then came from Watkins doing the bare minimum of simply physically competing with the centre half, something Kane seemingly never wants to do nowadays.

 

what a goal!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Guehi's had a good game.

 

Individual brilliance saves England yet again. Despite the coach

 

Why Bring foden on with 10 minutes to go. Pointless

 

Finlands getting tired.

 

England playing better on the counter.

 

Absolute shit

 

lol .It was alright.

 

Typical England performance. Don't see anything we didn't see under Southgate

 

A better second half. Defence still look very shaky.

 

Not as bad as Thursday but still very underwhelming and any potential new manager has a lot to think about. We're still not that close to getting the balance right imo.

Watkins is far from perfect but he made such a difference when he came on, Kane's physical level is a big issue. Just having someone who was able to physically play as a basic outlet changed everything.

Guehi and Gomes the only two genuinely impressive performers imo. Next manager has to keep Gomes around for sure.

 

Well its the same players and hes only had 4 games. The thing I would say is he is rotating the team more.

 

It was better second half but I will remind you of this performance when you no doubt big up our chances at the next tournament

 

Yeah, when it comes to defending we are just far too easy to get through. It’s almost like we don’t like tackling or something.

 

When we get a proper coach I'll fancy our chances

 

Seemed a waste of time.

Gallagher getting a few minutes but surely now Jones is available he drops out for him next time

 

He's always hyperbolic. Always "absolute shite" or "better than France"

 

I imagine most of these if fit will start against Greece in Athens. Not sure Walker should through. Or if Henderson will keep out Pickford.

 

Yeah and unfortunately that’s when we get trolled when it all goes wrong

 

You can be unhappy with the performance, but honestly to label it absolute shit, reduces your credibility when you inevitably big us up come the next tournament.

 

14 shots to 12 in our favour. A pretty poor performance overall. A poor selection from Carsley initially with no one in attack to stretch play. Surely this is basic stuff?

 

I've had a drink. Been out. But it was a boring game
