Southgate’s just being stubborn, doesn’t want to do anything “obvious”.

Just bring him on and give Grielish a chance FFS

Anyone else find the whole “Yorkshire Pirlo” title a bit, I don’t know.. stupid?

Pirlo. One of the finest footballers of his generation. Dominated games, incredible ability to keep the ball and thread it through the eye of a needle.

Then you have a twatty Yorkshire chav in a manbun.

This is why I hate Tyler as a commentator he will come out with statements like that which are said as a joke at Leeds to wind up people who are stupid enough to fall for his shenanigans.

I took one look at the line-up before kick-off and binned this off. I read the report so far and none of it surprises me in the slightest.

I maintain that we have the players but he doesn't seem to have a clue about how to blend a side. In the World Cup he employed Dele Alli and Jesse Lingard to make runs and link midfield and attack, but bizarrely he has Grealish at his disposal to perform that function but chooses not to start him.

Tyler just praised the performance of Kalvin Phillips.

To me it seemed rabbit in the headlights, couldn’t get into the match at all. Just one decent pass on 50 minutes.

Seen this on twitter
Excluding penalties, England have failed to score in the last 400 minutes of Nations League football:

1-3* vs Netherlands (penalty by Rashford)
0-0* vs Switzerland
1-0 vs Iceland (penalty by Sterling)
0-0 vs Denmark

* including extra time

I have watched 5 minutes here and there of the Denmark v England game and NOTHING ever happens.

The Cricket was far better and that was shyt. When are we ever going to get a manager that picks and plays an exciting team? Eric bluddy Dier, seriously? Always always comfort players. Southgate, the personality of a jilted fish.

Awaiting the exciting Southgate interview. "Character, effort" Yawn.

Absolutely pointless games that we have started the same process of running key players into the ground already.

Bravo

We would have been better off forfeiting them and giving the players a few more days off

Didn’t watch but don’t need to in order to identify the problems.

Pickford, dier, Philips, shouldn’t be close to an england squad. Trippier shouldn’t be close to playing as left back either. We could probably field a team almost if fairly decent right backs though at least. Trent, Walker, trippier, James, Justin, lamptey, bissaka, max arrons.

Midfield is dross. Rice is bang average but obviously better than Philips. Sancho completely overrated.

Kane is knackered and out of form completely

Manager is boring as fk and has literally done nothing as a manager except make us worse. beating Tunisia and Sweden in World Cup means jack shizzle, and something hinselwood would manage.

Agreed. Why on earth didn’t they scrap the Nations League for this season?! It’s nonsense.

Likewise the Football League should have cancelled the league cup for a year. The football calendar for the next year is just crazy.

As a Spurs fan, watching Kane run himself into the ground when he already looked empty must be especially galling for you.
