FIFA World Cup 2026: England Tournament Thread [R]

Henderson would have

 

Ok, we should not miss all those 100% chances

 

Feels like Kane is the only player who has any finishing ability all through the Tuchel era. Seems painfully difficult for us to score in open play if its not him.

 

Mainoo looks pretty good, but hard to fit in the team.

 

This is exactly what Panama will do.

All depends on what ref we get. Hopefully not one from Comnebol

 

Saka doesn't look fit to me.

 

Our final ball needs to improve

 

Watkins scores

 

Watkins with a Watkins goal

 

I know it's only minutes off the bench against Costa Rica in a friendly but I've very much enjoyed this Eze centre midfield cameo. Done some good stuff in deep areas as well as the final third.

Tuchel did describe him as a midfielder in one of his pressers so it might be something we see again in specific scenarios. Could be an interesting option if we're chasing a game.

 

Perfect friendly.

A few crap shots aside we’ve got so much out of this and played well.

Even subs have gone well.

 

They are the best!

 

He's not, but there is still hope.

 

Been more involved than he normally is for Arsenal

 

There not a good team Costa Rica, but I doubt they’ve had a game in recent history where they’ve created virtually zero chances.

 

One positive is we're creating chances against a low block team

 

what a pass by Burn

 

Didn’t know he could do that

 

Very, very happy.

 

MGW would have buried one of these... Rogers also missed the great chnace against Japan at the end. Not a good option to bring off the bench when chasing a game.

 

NO INJURIES!! Its all that matters

 

Drop Kane and let's see how these players do without him.

 

A nice relaxed outing where scoreline could have been a lot higher. Essentially a pre-season friendly.

 

Must be exhausting to be so negative buddy.
