Ronaldo Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 England need a striker badly, mind. Kane is now a massive weak link in games like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Felt like England stopped taking the game seriously, and were sloppier. Â Ireland were a bit more enthusiastic but were never going to do anything. Â England could actually have added another two goals. Â Comfortable win for England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

et tu brute Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Most of the play was going down the right hand side second half, you could see Gordon crying out for play to be switched a few times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 good thing was if kane came short, gordon would go central up top. loads of similar movement from other players to cover like that in the first half. night and day to the euros. ireland arent great mind.

Geordie_once_removed Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 (edited) I only saw the second half (hence the more negative observations) but based on this three things stood out. 1. Gordon still looks to be lacking fitness and the electric pace of last year seems to have gone somewhere. 2. Tino has real chance at gaining and securing the RB slot this year as TAA seems like the RB version of Maddison, as in he's a great player but needs a system built around him and I can't see the national team being able to do this. 3. Kane is looking so slow these days. The lack of a top class mobile CF is going to be the next England issue that is debated ad infinitum.

WilliamPS Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 I’m a Kane believer. I think he just needs players who get beyond him, like Gordon.  Big question for Carsley is what he does when Foden, Bellingham and Palmer are fit. Is he a coward like Southgate and pick the 11 biggest names or does he pick a team. He’s shown the benefits of picking a team but it’s low stakes so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 I don’t agree. You don’t play him over Foden or Palmer who are better 10s for England. You play him as a box to box next Rice. Hes very fortunate in his club role with the likes of Vini, Rodrygo, Kroos, Valverde, Tchou, (now KM). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Madrid paid £100m for a box-to-box midfielder but played him further up out of necessity. He was really good but England have so many good options further up the pitch compared to midfield that IMO he should play as an 8 for England to make room for either Foden or Palmer.

Agree with both. He got in the way most the time at the Euros. Wanted too many touches and slowed our game down. Much prefer him in the two and driving from deep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Clearly an extremely commanding and intimidating performance from the Vlach. Suitors are going to be lining up  in their droves. I hope he can get some actual games this season (on loan), going to be a joke if he’s not even good enough for backup and doesn’t get a loan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
