The England Thread

[punkisback]

I'm surprised at some of the dislike for rashford, if he played for us we would,be wanking over him day and night. At 19 he has a shit tone of potential.

No reason why he can't be the English Mbappe with good coaching. Very good skill at pace and developing well physically.

Nice Nike Slovakia kit, but what are all those badges over it?

 

[Shadydan]

Livermore isn't good enough, but Drinkwater is better technically than Dier and Henderson for me.

They're all a much of a muchness.

Quicker we get Winks in this team, the better - Also I don't know why Tom Carrol can't be called up either

It really is so dour.....(Germany now 5-0 up against Norway.....)

"There are no easy games in international football" says every football pundit.

 

[markiespurs]

That's fine, still time until the world cup to figure things out. Qualification is all that matters at this point.

Agree about qualification being all that matters at the moment.

Just have major doubts about Southgates ability to figure out his age, let alone how to get England playing well.

 

[Buggsy61]

Alli, Kane and Rashford are clearly the way to go for England. Just need some decent Midfielders.

And defenders. That defence is nowhere near good enough to take on the worlds best - Cahill will get humiliated.

 

[spurs mental]

Fuck sake every time one of our players goes down I shudder. Take them off Southgate you mousey looking cretin

 

[Flynn]

Sweepstake......

And defenders. That defence is nowhere near good enough to take on the worlds best - Cahill will get humiliated.

Cahill isn't good enough for a top 6 team.

 

[markiespurs]

the population of England is more than 3 times the combined populations of all the other countries in this group. you guys should qualify in your sleep.

We are England, The Tottenham Hotspur of international football

 

[Flynn]

Getting scrappy and deeper by the minute.

 

[Shadydan]

This midfield pivot is a problem, so bland.

Get Dier back in defence and put him next to Cahill, Get Winks in the team, Barkley and Lallana fit with Rose hugging the left and suddenly we look half decent I reckon.

England remind me of avb's tottenham...just without the crouching

 

[markiespurs]

Dele surprised that he got a pass from Ox

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

What happened to the art of bending a cross first time around your marker?

 

[Rob]

Haha Dele giving him the finger then

 

[dagraham]

A lot of cracks will be papered over if England win tonight.

That's fine, still time until the world cup to figure things out. Qualification is all that matters at this point.

We will qualify easily and so we should do. The group is gash.

Come the tournament it will be the same old story, for the many reasons that have been talked about before.

We couldn't get past the QF with Terry, Ferdinand, Cole, Neville, Gerrard, Scholes, Owen, Beckham, Shearer etc. What chance with this group?

How many of the current squad would be at home amongst that generation of players? Rose, Alli, Kane. Can't think of many more.

I said exactly that when we had avb in charge. We were like watching England. To be honest I don't think this England team are as dull or slow going forward as we were under AVMFB. I hated that period with a passion.

Haha Dele giving him the finger then

That was meant for @Bus-Conductor

 

[kaz Hirai]

Lol at the super long akward pause from commentators.

Don't know what to say about alli's gentlemanly conduct
