I’ve had to turn the commentary off, Lee Dixon’s inane drivel is driving me mad

What is Trent Alexander Armstrong for? Am I missing something because whenever I see him play he loses the ball, looks lazy and is regularly caught out of position 🤷‍♂️

Agree mate, I don't see what others do either clearly. He's out of his depth against any half decent winger. Walker is miles better.

He's so talented there's a desperation to get him in and hope he clicks.

If you want players to try and attack as well as defend then there will be times when he is out of position, it's for other players to cover that space

I forgot they were playing.

To think that the top leagues in Europe have to be put on hold for this shite, a second division tournament in a second class made up competition just because some over paid goon thought we didn't have enough international football and thought this would be a good idea.

The only good thing about it is that Chico has some extra days to get those not on international duty some extra fitness and coaching to get his ideas across.

Gouranga.

Good rant but the Nations League isn't extra international football it's replaced friendlies, it's abundantly clear that these games are far superior to friendlies

But just as fucking pointless.

Gouranga.

[northernstokie]

This is terrible.
If this is what the get from carsley then he can go back to the u21s.
I get he's not had long with the team but they look clueless

With only Rice playing midfield that's difficult

Clearly not, you can't tell me international friendlies are any use at all whereas these games are

[crouchpotato1]

I think Greece have been very good so far

[cheekymatt71]

Foden is fucking useless in an England shirt. It's like playing with 10 men every game.


How bad does he have to play to gey dropped ???

That was the starting line up people wanted. Lots of goalscoring potential and flair. But did we forget there's another team playing?

I don't think the fans really wanted us to go gung ho to a point we look like conceding every attack, people just wanted us to play the ball forward and attack teams more rather than play with fear

They do. But in doing so it underrates opponents. Greece have had a game plan and stuck with it. We're being outmanoeuvred.

I agree. Although I don't think Rice is very good, he looks like he is on the decline to me, not played well for England for a while. He's just not athletic enough for me

What use are games like these? A second division European league with the players looking like they couldn't give a shit.

Clearly fucking pointless.

4-4 fucking 2? 😁

[chuckrocky]

Can anyone who watches a lot of Real Madrid confirm if the Bellingham hype is warranted because I can count on one hand the number of decent games I’ve seen him play for England.

[thehartshillbadger]

The atmosphere at our home games is absolutely pathetic. Women and children shrieking when we go forward. Sounds like a fucking netball game.

It isn't hype. He's the real deal. The complete article.

Narcis is a tactical innovator.

We've come full circle.

Yep. Plain basic measured.

[adri2008]

Look absolute dogshit in defence don't we.

[smallthorner]

Reckon Bellingham is manager of this team.

Yes. In an era we've come out of the shadows and have genuinely very good players and making impressions in tournaments it's still stands out how few real good defenders we have

Not for me.

[RedandWhite90]

Lovely goal.

[JoeinOz]

Game over. Well done Greece

[Mr_DaftBurger]

Well done Pickford, you need removing!

[lordb]

That's been coming
