Just felt like watching Chelsea but in white!

Add to that we already have the poor mans Gareth Southgate!

I thought they played like we did too.

I'm more concerned about the FA coming for Potter, now he is here want to see what he can do.

I didn't watch the game but I am still surprised people overanalzye friendly game. Nation leagues or whatever it is called is irrelevant.

Southgate adding his own voice to the "Southgate out" brigade by selecting Harry Maguire at centre back for tonight's game against Italy 🙂 

 

Could he not call up Phil Jones too and go with a back three? Worst case scenario is me & @Ballack & Blu get a Nutflix Special out of it.
 

‘Bugger’. 

Some England fans are calling for TT to replace Southgate. Lol.

He's being deported so it could be his chance to stay.

Going from Euros runners up (losing to Italy) to dropping to the B group (losing to Italy) of a competition nobody understands anyway. Consistency!

As you say the Nations League is viewed as a pretty meaningless competition by most. Really a desperate ploy by UEFA to replace some of the friendlies, but a competition too many. That being said England's form has been woeful for a while now, and it is hard to imagine them suddenly looking good in the World Cup. I reckon it will be like the last time we were in a group with USA where we barely scraped out of the group stage and lost comfortably in the last 16.

Familiar theme since 1966 isn't it ?

It's a succession of useless managers that have prevented England from winning trophies.( really) ?

We haven't even reached a WC final since and one losing Euro final .  Even with group stages that almost guaranteed easy passages.

But I thought we had started to play decent football for once  only to see an ultra cautious approach game over.

mind you, if big Sam hadn't been such  a gullible oaf  he could be leading us to glory !

Had to look him up!

Actually there was a Canadia. League game on telly in the pub a while back.

Think one team was " Pacific " ? Can't remember the other team, but what a game relentless attacking from both teams, aggressive and hardly any play  acting .

And then we have to watch the exact opposite !

 

Maguire is awful. Why does he continue to play him,

Maguire and Dire. The best comedy double act in international football.

Just as well include the other 10 ....a shocking England team with a very poor manager.   

Oh dear ...wonder why he can't score like that for our mob..

If Maguire is going to Qatar ...just as well leave him there.

It's coming home.

Southgate in?

It's left home.

Havertz took it personal

Amazing how players like Mount and Havertz can score worldies but just can't score for us....

Yeah, but at least Werner stayed consistent.

Well at least Mount and Havertz come back in some decent form.
