Pretty poor like. Got worse as the half went on, off the pace everywhere.

Brighton away after an international break where our players have been all over the shop and Burn starting at LB, what could go wrong eh? Was so optimistic about this game too...

Bloody international breaks should be outlawed, we never ever benefit from them, always look off the pace, takes us time to get into a good rythmn

Willing him to succeed but the early signs aren't too good

Good to be back, missed the whinging in match threads

Sumptuous finish

If he's not on strike wanting 500k a week to play for Madrid.

And why they gave a rotten Germany a good game overall. Not suggesting everyone should play differently than everyone else but I do think identikit coaching is an issue.

International football is enough to make your eyes bleed these days.

I don't know if it's the main issue but i've felt that fear and identikit coaching at all levels is a major problem in the game over the past 3-5 years. Nobody plays to their strengths anymore.

Germany are bloody awful

Nick breathes on Ballard, soft cunt goes down screaming, ref buys it. Standard stuff.

You just know Ballard is itching to cripple him on the sly

Found NI's play-acting embarrassing and sad but they've given a rank German team a decent game

Nagelsman is a tippy tappy bellend basically

It's amazing the effect breathing near these players has, causes their legs to collapse each time

Another NI player sitting on his arse waving his arms about for a pen, k'off man

NI players just love to dish out fouls and then dramatize mild contact and spin around and wave their arms at the ref. The commentators love it too, screaming out for non-existent fouls Edit - I exclude Wirtz from this, he's got all the physicality of a church mouse

These soft cock FKs are one of my biggest gripes with the modern game, awful stuff that's just accepted

Cost half what the rat cost and is twice the character.

Great hit but looked like it went in right in the center of the goal, hard to tell from the replay

Reactive subs are rarely a good look and the attacking strategy seems very off-the-cuff and not well planned.

1-2, been coming for a while, they're a mess

Hope that's not a knee for Watkins, they don't see to want to show the replay

Little scab cunt trying to maim Gordon
