[Football] Nations League & other international football, October 2022

[Gazwag]

Is this a library

 

[A1X]

It’s barely changed as a team since 2018, how depressing

 

[Solid at the back]

Impeccable silence from everyone, well done, amazing.

Still rabbiting on about the Queen?

 

[Is it PotG?]

Atmosphere is amazing.

Nothing, nothing at all.

 

[GT49er]

The style of play Southgate tries to get England to play is excessively boring but for me it’s tactically mindless, how can you play a back 5 without all 3 centre halves AND goalkeeper being comfortable on the ball, the entire way that system works is having ball playing defenders who are happy to step into midfield and into wider positions, Dier and Maguire alongside Pope simply aren’t good enough on the ball.

FFS be a decent human being and don't go asking GS questions you know darned well he doesn't know how to answer!

Impeccable silence from everyone, well done, amazing.

All 20 minutes of it so far

The shit band has finally destroyed the shit England atmosphere

 

[The Wizard]

Not bothered about England being shit really, it’s hardly new. We’ve been held back for years by dinosaur managers and lucked our way through a few tournaments playing dire football with unbelievable draws.

We’ve got probably the best crop of attacking young talent we’ve had in a long time and we have a manager who insists on playing 5 at the back and at most 3/4 attacking players, if we went to the World Cup and just gave our players creative freedom that’s all I really want, couldn’t care less if we lose, this is starting to remind me of us towards the end of Hughtons reign.

Nick Pope can’t pass a ball for shit, fantastic goalkeeper but he just looks like a hoofer to me, but then again can you blame him… he’s only got one person who actually wants the ball. (stones)

 

[Weststander]

Atmosphere is amazing.

Nothing, nothing at all.

I blame it on Martin Perry.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

He’s an idea Southgate, if you insist on letting Kane drop deep because you refuse to play any other way, why not play another striker so there’s someone in the box.

 

[Questions]

When I read podcasts about what Potter and Di Zerbe are trying to do and then watch this England side I think …….. is Maguire playing

 

[Questions]

We e got brilliant players though.

 

[A1X]

Sterling one of the few seemingly playing with any confidence. A shame because a few weeks of Potter playing him as a holding midfielder will soon have that knocked out of him.

 

[The Wizard]

That pass from Sterling

 

[Gazwag]

Have we really got nobody creative to take all set pieces than Reece James, does he take set pieces at Chelsea

 

[hart's shirt]

Sterling falling in value today.

 

[A1X]

…are they singing the Cucurella song?

 

[maltaseagull]

We e got brilliant players though.

Who perform far better for their clubs than for the National team.

 

[tigertim68]

Awful commentators

 

[The Wizard]

Watch Sterling and Foden carefully when Germany have the ball, they are totally clueless what to do, that simply has to come down to bad coaching or bad direction because they manage to press fine at their clubs.

…are they singing the Cucurella song?

It’s the Maguire song we stole
