International football is utter shit. Never normally watch these pointless games, but just caught the last 15 minutes of the first half and fucking hell, what an utter pile. International football can get fucked. Missing another weekends real football for this bollocks. Gonna put more Bates Motel on now.

It's an athletic team, but lacking in skill. We could easily lose this.

 

Some talented young players have emerged in recent years, but for various reasons, none are out there. I'm thinking of the likes of Alli, Lallana, Barkley, Wilshere, Welbeck.

The tempo we're playing at says otherwise

So weird that for almost 20 years and several different managers and players, it feels like England has played the exact same type of football. Against lower levels opposition, control the game without ever really creating much or having a clear attacking mentality, and against better opposition fail to impose themselves on the game and usually lose.

Lallana isn't young mind. He'd make a big difference to the attack though

Shelvey is a bit nuts at times but he's better technically then more or less all of the other English players. England lack so much flair and guile, and "footballing brains" as well.

Shelvey should at least be on the bench for games like this. Like fuck do we need Dier and Henderson in the middle here.

Does Southgate plan on changing this at any point as it's obviously not working.

 

Why would he? Point is likely deemed adequate. Slovakia need to beat Scotland today, and then we'd have to lose to Lithuania and Slovakia would have to beat Malta. And they'd have to win by over 5 goals between the two games. Assuming GD is the tie breaker.

Thing is, on paper a front 4 of Rashford, Kane and Lallana with Alli at CAM is pretty decent, we have pretty good full back options, its just we have no one who can play the ball in CM, the main area on the pitch.

[emoji38] Of course he's not. These are players doing it week in week out for teams trying to win the league, Shelvey's a player who does it inconsistently and who's playing for us because as you rightly say he's a bit nuts.

 

This England midfield pairing is daft though. It needs to be Dier or Henderson, not both. I'd go Henderson Lallana.
