TheBrownBottle Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 It’s funny how irritated I get watching England. I don’t really give much of a shite about the results, and therefore I’d just like a bit of entertainment. I don’t care in the way that I do for my real national side, so watching some canny football would get me engaged. This is just fucking turgid, and there isn’t any excuse given the players at the manager’s disposal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Saka has had a poor start to the season same with grealish considering there form last year. Maybes a touch of burn out on sakas part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn’t playing in any particular role or position… just walking around and fucking the shape up. Hopefully it’s the end of that experiment.

NUFCDoog Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 How do people follow England home and away man, especially away, find it so weird. Outside of a tournament pretty much every game is dull as fuck, and it's hardly like the away games are in decent areas. It's just pointless, can't get my head round wasting all that money, there's no pleasure to get out of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Parka Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I'd definitely be sent off in this game. Ref is absolutely clueless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

International football doesn’t feel like the appropriate time to start trying players in completely new positions. And it isn’t as if England are underserved in that position. Agreed, hopefully we don’t see this again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also why you often see the small town names on the St George’s flags in the away end. I went away with England once many moons ago, and instantly hated it.

Any Southgate England game tbf. Southgate is a manager capable of making experimental XIs boring. If you’re going to experiment, how about playing a 2-3-5 formation and making it fun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon tracks back loads plus technically, he’s 9 times the play that Lewis is. Good players can play anywhere. Gordon can play Lw, can’t be that different to Lb.
