[Football] If Trossard starts against England

[BN41Albion]

England have gone backwards massively, we can’t create anything with fast incisive passing, its all meandering sideways passing, crossing and hoofing. Dinosaur Southgate, crap tactics and crap system.

We are the Burnley of the international game.

Yep, which is scandalous considering the players at our disposal. England have reverted to type.

 

[Mackenzie]

Did Trossard play?

 

[shingle]

How could anyone support Belgium when playing against England, just because one of their players plays for Brighton.

Give your head a wobble FFS

In other news, Mulumby gets MOTM for Ireland which is a nice bonus for him.

Really hope to see him push on for the Brighton first team...but it’s so tough.

 

[DumLum]

Shame the match was so poorly attended. Folk don't care much for England these days.

I get the joke but I care so little about international football these days I only discovered we were playing Belgium this morning and have just discovered the result having no clue what time the match was played. I was only interested to see if Trossard played.

Only on NSC can people dislike their naional team just becuase the manager played for a rival 25 years ago. Probably our most successful manager since Sir Alf.

Easily.

Non World cup/European Final matches are of less interest than a tennis match to me.

 

[Questions]

Let’s bury our cynicism, we’re 10 minutes away from being crowned Champions of Something.

Yes we’ve won the euro zone nations champions league ......... Southgate ..... the first since Sir Alf

 

[Weststander]

can't understand the negativity, not a vintage display by any means but we won with a young experimental side

Still far better than the dark days under Sven and Crapello

McLaren did a decent job.

 

[Questions]

McLaren did a decent job.

Watching England under Maclaren has been all but erased from my mind,, along with Father Brian’s antics.

England could be playing Tiddly Winks on a wet Tuesday night and I'd still be supporting England.

Ramsey was sacked 46 years ago, so it doesn't say much for the rest since then.

 

[Randy McNob]

Just saw Belgium are the highest ranked team in the world - we beat them and people still moan

I've heard the same criticisms leveled at Southgate for his selections etc lately from across the football fan and media spectrum. Certainly not just on NSC because he played for Palace 25 years ago.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Meaningful victory? Well, since we have qualified for the delayed Euro 20 the alternative is to play just friendless .This has to be better...
We should be pleased . We beat “the best team in the World “. Even if we scoff at that it is still a great result. Our second goal took a lucky deflection we know but their penalty never was , in my opinion.
So onwards we go !

better to talk about lucky wins rather than all the unlucky defeats - it defines the phrase you make your own luck....

No doubt at all that was a pen

Terry Venables, ex Palace manager and attributed ( wrongly) to be a large reason for our rivalry with them up the road,, went on to manage England in one of our most exciting periods.

His England team had my full support.
Southgate, a lucky, over promoted yes man, with little footballing nous, doesn’t have my full support.

The Palace connection never has and never will have anything to do with it for me.

TV was a good manager and did well for England, I don't recall being as enthused about the national side since Euro 96.
