Yeah, let's agree to disagree.

Yes, that's why said either failed to qualify for tournaments or stunk them out. Its arguable that 2008 was our most enjoyable tournament out of the five!

I think last night was worse than either of the games you mention. Like you say it looked very much like a team that knew the manager was gone. We've all seen teams play like that when the manager is on his way out the door. I don't know how much there is to that interpretation but it's what...

I disagree. There is plenty to hang on Southgate for that performance. Players misplacing passes when under no pressure isn't one of them. Players losing the ball because they let the opposition get in front of them and nick it isn't either. I don't think I'll change anyone's opinion on...

That's the kind of player we're missing. Someone like jorginho, or a level up a kroos or modicum or pirlo. Someone that can control and dictate the pace of the game. England rarely produce them, we generally produce all action box to box midfielders. I guess the closest we've come in the...

After nights 'sleep' it seems to me that yesterday was a double whammy of shit: 1) The players looked like they had never met each other and had no idea what to do. This is on the manager. 2) The players were absolute dogshit. They struggled to pass accurately, they offered no options to...

That was possibly the worst performance since Iceland in 2016. Shockingly bad. Not one player better than a 5 out of 10 and that's being generous.

Yeah, that was really poor. Back to the bad old days.

That's interesting. I genuinely don't remember hearing the word being used until fairly recently.

Yes, in a good moment! So are duels just 1 v1s? 50 - 50 tackles? The individual battles on the pitch i.e Centre forward against centre half, winger against full back etc? Or something else?

Fabian Schaar talking about the game against Scotland said: “There were a lots of tackles and duels, as we expected. They made it extremely difficult for us.” I've noticed duels popping up in more and more interviews and discussions about games. In much the same way as everyone talks about...

I look forward to it. In the mean time I can only vote for dairy milk as that's the only one I know.

Is this it? No pictures? No big sell? No fanfare? I know these tournaments can take up a lot of time but you've got to give us something to work with T&J!

I wouldn't mind having Poch off that list. Pep is obviously never going to happen. I reckon Poch would maintain the positive vibes that Southgate has created in the camp but would play more attractive football. If he can get spurs to a champions league final then he can get England to a world...

The wing backs aren't really defenders, hence they're part of the line of 4. Potter used to play it with trossard and March as the wing backs. England could do it with TAA and Saka. As for the need of rice and gallagher/mainoo/Wharton that gives us greater control of midfield. Something we...

I don't think anyone would be playing out of position if we switched mid game to 3421, especially if it were done with a sub or two. From last night's starting 11, bring on shaw for tripier , gallagher for saka and then you'd have: Walker/stones/guehi TAA/gallagher/rice/shaw Bellingham/Foden...

I only saw the last 20 minutes of the game against Serbia so this isn't a critique of the overall performance but what I saw was what I've seen a lot of over the years. Namely, an inability to retain the ball in midfield and reassert any kind of control on the game when under pressure...

FFS! Why are we fannying about signing coaches when it's clearly players we need. We need a new striker, right winger, attacking midfielder, defensive midfielder, right back, centre back and all we've got is 300 keepers. We're on the verge of relegation while palace are about to win the...

Switzerland look better than I expected, Hungary look worse. The Swiss kit is horrible
