Watch he'll bring on Henderson for Anderson now

 

Burns pass the ball in front of defenders u ********ing bellend

 

Grealish should be making the next squad

 

The problem with Rashford and Madueke is that neither have top tier control of the ball. If we went in to a tournament with this squad we wouldn’t have a chance.

 

We need Saka, Bellingham and Palmer back as well.

 

Loads of former U21s on the pitch now.

 

This ref has given us ******** all

 

I think Madueke has been more dangerous than rashford

 

Madueke definitely does have top control. On the other hand rashford doesn't

 

He really doesn’t. He’s been better than Rashford today though.

 

Stuart Pearce is a total halfwit saying burn has had a good game

 

Burn gets a yellow for getting kicked in the foot.

 

A game to forget. The sheer lack of creativity against low block sides once again worrying but such a regular feature now. In as much as you can take anything out the game Anderson at least had a decent debut. Madueke is a flawed player but has the right ideas and attitude against low block sides. Once again set up the opener, and should have had at least one more assist but for poor finishing.

 

That isn’t saying much though to be fair, Rashford just runs down blind alleys too many times.

 

You could have played a midfielder instead of Burn the amount of defensive work he had to do.

 

It is what is it is against these type of teams, we’re just crap at creating against low block teams. Nothing will change until we learn to play quicker football and playing through the lines. I think we have the players but needs the coach to assess which players best fit the opposition and I know Rice scored but against these teams he’s pretty much redundant because he’s just not creative in attacking areas and also just not crossing quick enough which I think needs to be fixed when we play Latvia away as it will be similar.

 

An obvious roverman comment during every single game.

 

I’m defending Madueke there.. rashford has no end product, Madueke has delivered end product in the few games he’s played, we should have scored a couple of goals from his delivery today.

 

I said many times here, Rashford is finished and never ever should play again for England. Play Gordon there, or Hudson-Odoi, Grealish, Hutchinson, even Foden or Madueke but him. But knowing Tuchel he will start in Belgrade too.
As for Tuchel: I'm in team Fat Frank!

 

Adam Wharton would have been ideal for this game. His positive forward passing would have opened up this stubborn Andorra team

 

James put in 5 crosses and about 3 were brilliant, not sure why he wasn’t utilised more at this.

 

Classic Roverman

 

what do we expect against a 9 man back line? it has been the same under every England manager against these minnows. three points onto the next. these games are nothing more than a training exercise. pointless.

 

Agreed! I think Rashford solely got called up just because of who he plays for. I mean I defended him to a degree about one half of football he played for Barca but he’s not done anything more than CHO or Grealish.
