Euro 2024 Qualifiers

[TJQuik]

That is an insane pass and finish

[foxes_rule1978]

Nice goal, quality ball.., don’t know why Kane can’t drop in… we want that especially when we know he has quality to provide… we have enough ability for players to make great runs into the box and score

Maddison signs for Tottenham, becomes an instant England starter.

 

Coincidence. Do me a favour.

Yup, but he deserves the place I would say regardless… 

[Sir Shep]

And some people see Southgate as the messiah! Yes we will probably win this but I’ll never rate him.

Let's see if he can also prove himself to be too good for Spurs

So far in this match, it’s been static and players seem to be playing in quick sand, only the quality of the individuals will see us through this at the moment

One moment of brilliance from 2 players disguising a truly awful half of football from England.

Having world class players is great but they can’t half make a manager look better than he is

Don't worry - now he's been picked for England his form will go right out the window.

Look at the start to life Kane has had for Bayern, Bellingham has had for Real, Madders has had for Spurs. 

 

Problem isn't the players. 

 

You're so desperate for a positive coach it's criminal. 

The FA are for some reason terrified of making a change until a competition is done. We will no doubt have to endure another painful exit in the exact same fashion as the last three competitions before he'll finally leave.

 

Much like Southgate they're terrified of making a bold decision which just ends up screwing us and wasting another tournament when we might be returning to the doldrums of 2007-16 any day now, with a mixture of overrated pensioners and second rate younger players in the squad.

 

We might go on to win here with the sheer quality of our players being enough to counteract Southgateball against a much worse team.

[Tuna]

Kane penalty sweepstake.

 

I'm going with 87 minutes.

Well we obviously have quality, but when your players are just tapping it around in front of the opposition you aren’t doing anything, other than allowing them to break on you when you lose it 

Ukraine are playing 10 behind the ball. Tapping it around looking for a way through is about all they can do. 

Our goal came from a ball over the top. 

[FoyleFox]

Half time and we're getting the thoughts of Joe Cole. What's happening for the other 14 minutes 🤔

I like to close my eyes and pretend it's Joe Swash talking. Much more entertaining.

At the risk of sounding like those inanimate object posters that go on the f1 thread after every race to say ‘yawn’ ‘so boring’ etc there’s no real point to this. England will p1ss qualification then get knocked out in the tournament by the first decent side they play 

[theadmans]

Only drawing to a team with a defender that was last seen in the 80s pop combo Matt Bianco...

 

...after that goal Matt Bianco needs to "Get out of his lazy bed".

 

To be honest I have only seen Matt Bianco on the ball for about "Half a minute" in that half.

At the risk of saying I never went yawn just that I don’t rate him, perhaps read what I says first. 

[theadmans]

Second half and Matt Bianco has been rightly subbed off.

 

Imagine 10 years ago saying that England would have 4 ex-Leicester players on the pitch (I am including Kane even though it pains me to do so)...

 

...and Dion Dublin's Leicester flat vowels on commentary.

I know, I’m agreeing with you. I don’t rate him either 

[TJQuik]

Get Henderson off the ****ing pitch

[Parafox]

He's taken Bellingham off and left Henderson on!!!!

[tom27111]

Is Southgate on crack?

 

Bellingham and Maddison off?

 

But Henderson stays on?
